The new solution is designed to enable MSP hosting providers to offer comprehensive IPsec/SSL VPN through an easy-to-deploy Software as a Service.
For hosting providers looking to offer comprehensive IPsec/SSL VPN through a Software as a Service (Saas) model, NCP Engineering is now offering a NCP Secure Cloud VPN.
With this remote access software, hosting providers can avoid some of the headaches associated with traditional hybrid VPN deployments.
NCP’s hybrid VPN technology is suited for cloud offerings, the company says, because it provides “true multi-tenant, modular software able to manage 10,000-plus concurrent IPsec / SSL VPN connections by a single administrator.”
The NCP Secure Cloud VPN Offering is fully compatible with all relevant networking technology and device operating systems, enabling hosting providers to layer the software onto existing technology and avoid painful and expensive upgrades or replacements.
“With a less than $6,000 investment, hosting providers and system integrators can get started with the NCP Secure Cloud VPN Offering,” states NCP in a press release submitted to Channel Pro-SMB.
Benefits to MSPs include:
- Managed Service Provider (MSP) Hosting — The multi-tenant software architecture enables MSPs to run a single instance of the NCP Secure Enterprise Solution on their cloud to manage hundreds of unique VPN systems. This includes managing the gateway and firewall needs of each MSP customer. Tens of thousands of clients can be provisioned, updated and managed from a single MSP administration.†

- SMB Hosting — The modular software architecture of the NCP Secure Cloud VPN Offering enables companies that are moving resources to a public cloud or hybrid cloud environment to migrate the complex management processes off-site.
Data centers are the usual targets for virtualization,” says NCP Engineering CTO Rainer Enders. “By moving bulky management and administrative tasks to the cloud, companies have yet another avenue to streamline. From a hosting provider’s vantage, the ability to virtualize traditionally hardware-only VPN systems provides a new, strong line of revenue generation.”
