The gateways can also be housed in Cisco’s Secure Gateway Service centers. The innovative approach will expand Comcast Business Teleworker VPN solution in several key ways.Īmit Verma, VP of solution engineering and technology at Comcast Business, said, “When combined with our Teleworker Broadband solution, the Comcast Business Teleworker VPN solution with Cisco Meraki allows enterprises to gain peace of mind while providing their employees with a secure, independent Internet connection that does not interfere or compete with their at-home Internet – freeing up home bandwidth for remote learning, entertainment and more.” The unified offeringĬomcast describes the goal of its Business Teleworker VPN as providing remote employees the “same corporate network experience and service they have in the office.” Joining forces with Cisco Meraki is meant to enhance this service as an enterprise-class, cloud-native platform that will bring enterprise-grade VPN gateways to business locations.

In the best case scenarios, this proved true, but as many enterprises discovered, VPN is not always the seamless experience they’d planned for.Ĭomcast Business and Cisco Meraki are working together to elevate the VPN experience through a new partnership aimed at creating a better, more secure, reliable, high-performance connection between corporate networks and remote workers. Ideally, employees could log on to work, away from work, and enjoy a seamless experience as close to the real thing as possible. VPN solutions made it possible for enterprises to pick up the ball and keep running, despite global shutdowns in the wake of the sweeping COVID-19 pandemic. If they didn’t have a handle on what a virtual private network (VPN) was prior to 2020, millions of workers around the global were intimately familiar with the technology by year’s end.
