For more than ten years, Ratiodata has relied on NCP Secure Enterprise VPN to provide secure and highly available remote access services. Over the years, the solution has continuously evolved to support a growing customer base, delivering scalable, centrally managed VPN connectivity for tens of thousands of users.

The Challenge

As one of the leading IT service providers for the financial sector, Ratiodata provides customers with secure, highly available remote access to internal networks and business applications. To support this service, the company required a remote access platform that could scale with growing user numbers, support a wide range of endpoint devices, and reliably serve multiple customer environments.

Project Goals

The goal was to build a secure, highly available remote access service that could be managed efficiently while supporting the diverse requirements of customers in the financial sector.

Centralized VPN management
Multi-platform support for operating systems and endpoint devices
Scalable multi-tenant architecture for multiple customer environments

The Solution

Ratiodata (formerly operating as VR Netze) adopted NCP's IPsec VPN technology as early as 2000, initially deploying six NCP Secure Enterprise VPN Servers to provide secure remote access for approximately 7,000 users. Over the years, the platform has continuously evolved and today consists of 24 VPN systems, securely connecting around 35,000 users from locations across Germany and around the world. NCP Secure Enterprise VPN was selected for its high scalability, centralized VPN management, and broad compatibility with Windows, Linux, macOS, and a wide range of IP-enabled endpoint devices. Integrated security features such as certificate-based authentication, Personal Firewall, and Endpoint Security Checks, combined with support for multiple connection types, including WLAN, LTE, and other mobile networks, ensure secure and reliable remote access wherever users work.

What our customers say about NCP

It's not just about the number of users, but also the environments in which they use their devices. Where is the data that organizations need to access? The growing use of cloud services also needs to be taken into account.
