Understanding Private Network & Why It Matters For Business
A private network is a restricted network with access given to a closed group of people or within an organisation and the network is connected to known nodes. In a private network, the IP addresses allocated are private and not known or exposed to external parties. This is the opposite of a public network, which is open for connection with anyone and can connect to any nodes available such as the Internet. Organisations need private networks to secure data transmissions of sensitive information between nodes that are geographically spread out. For example, between offices, branches and outlets that are in different parts of the country or different parts of the world that is impossible to connect with direct cabling or LAN infrastructure. A private network typically uses dedicated lines for each organisation, thus bandwidth and throughput are guaranteed, with better connectivity. Typically, an organisation would subscribe to a local or international telecommunications service provider to build such a network, by using their infrastructure to connect the nodes privately through many types of technologies, such as dedicated fixed-lines with private IP addresses. Security and throughput are just one of the many advantages that a private network can bring to your business,
