Distributed VPN access

A way to distribute the VPN access logic over different sites to guarantee the best performance possible and weight distribution over the main company sites.

How it Works!

Elect a site as concentrator for each geographical cluster of clients
Manage the VPN connections of each cluster locally
Provide low-latency VPN connection to all the users inside the same cluster
Allow VPN communication between different clusters

The product can be deployed across multiple company sites, with one site selected as the leader of a cluster of nearby users. This site manages the VPN connections originating from the "smart work VPN" and "site-to-site VPN" services. Each Zadig device at the head of a cluster communicates with each other, enabling entities within one cluster to connect with those in another. This decentralization of the VPN concentrator ensures superior performance, reducing latency for users and systems situated in remote clusters. It also enhances the overall reliability of the VPN infrastructure, eliminating dependence on a single centralized server, which can be vulnerable and a point of failure.

Distributed VPN access is seamlessly integrated into ZADIG Smart’s Remote, Advanced, and Professional plans. If your company operates from at least two different locations, every employee has the flexibility to connect to any site from anywhere, enabling them to access the entire infrastructure effortlessly. This robust feature ensures accessibility and connectivity across your organization’s distributed network, promoting flexibility and productivity.

What are the risks?

A single centralized VPN access point not only lacks the scalability of a distributed solution but can also lead to a range of other issues, including:

High latency communication

Users and company systems connections are slower, decreasing profitability.

Single point of failure

A centralized VPN server malfunctioning is prone to leave all the VPN infrastructure down, causing a service interruption.

Single Denial-of-Service target

It is hard for attackers to span their efforts against a multitude of targets, the combination of site-2-site and decentralized smart-workers concentrators gives your remote workers many options to get in and creates a strong disincentive for attackers to even attempt making you a target.

Why ZADIG Smart

We provide you the ability to assign 2 types of VPNs

We offer the capability to designate the management of "smart work VPN" and "site-to-site VPN" to multiple head sites, enabling the creation of clusters, each managed by its own VPN server. These servers communicate with each other, ensuring fast, low-latency VPN connections for both users and site systems. This setup enhances the reliability of your VPN infrastructure without the risk of overloading a single VPN server. This is made possible through an intelligent and efficient IPsec deployment, providing the high-performance VPN solution your organization needs.
