What the means used to connect LAN to enterprise WAN other than VPN 1

[Timor]

I have a LAN in my site in Dubai .it is has 60 users and it is connected to the enterprise WAN in Europe via VPN.

I'm connected to the internet via Frame relay.

I need to know other ways to connect directly to the WAN.because our site is connected server handling VPN connections and my connection was down because of problems in this server or its appliance.

I have read about Leased line connection to WAN and I need to know the difference between VPN & leased line OR any other mean.



So,Please,help me with information feeding ,Documents,links,Or downloads if possible.


I need this very very very FAST feedback

Thnx

Leased lines are a point-to-point connection that does not go thru the Internet.
VPN is a virtual tunnel that does travel thru the Internet.

You need to have a carrier, Bell or Verizon or someone, come bring a connection to their network which is usually a smart-jack. From that you will need to connect into a router. We use a mix of Cisco 1600's and 2600's. From there you just set up your LAN and/or WAN howecer you want...

Matt, his offices are in Dubai and Europe. I don't think Bell or Verizon have POPs there.

I just used them as an Example, I don't know who the carriers are in Europe...
