Private Network Advantage

SoftLayer invented the private network for the hosting industry in order to provide an unparalleled advantage in security, accessibility, and bandwidth efficiency. Administrators can access servers via VPN over carriers that are not connected to our public network. This totally segregates public and private traffic, making it impossible for external parties to access server functionality and allowing administrators to securely transfer data and manage servers without sacrificing public bandwidth to their sites.
