The concept of private networks has been there for quite some time. Private networks are usually preferred by businesses and various types of private organisations to protect the data and information that they store and handle. Compared to public networks, setting up a private network is a bit more complex as it involves implementing security measures and access restrictions. For instance, while setting up a private network, the number of devices that can connect to the network has to be taken into account, web servers have to be made extra secure to avoid cyber attacks and secure hardware and firewall applications have to be installed to ensure high-level security. A private network must be able to provide continuous connectivity, where people and things can securely connect, communicate and perform business functions. It is important for a private network to possess better security mechanisms and intelligent policy enforcement. Finally, a private network must offer quality service apart from security and connectivity.
