360Quadrants,
the world’s only comparison platform that combines expert analysis with
crowdsourced reviews, has released a quadrant on Cloud VPN
software to help businesses make quicker and more informed decisions.
Cloud VPN operates on cloud-based network infrastructure and
is sometimes referred to as hosted VPN or VPN as a Service (VPNaaS). Cloud VPN
provides global VPN access to end users such as subscribers and third-party
users over the public internet. A VPN is mostly meant to permit a user, an internet
connection, over a server, run by an enterprise. As most of the data or
information on the server is encrypted for privacy, a cloud VPN software can
provide secure access over the internet for use of a private network through a
virtual environment.
The cloud VPN market has been segmented into component
(software, services), connectivity type (site-to-site, remote access),
organization size (SMEs, large enterprises), end user (service providers,
verticals), and region.
