ReNAT systems and methods

A network operations center (NOC) comprising:

• a computing device that includes a processor and a memory component that stores logic, including at least the following:
• a ReNAT twin network address translation (NAT) that translates between a customer-assigned private internet protocol (IP) address and a unique private IP (UPIP) address, wherein the UPIP overlaps with a customer-assigned private IP address space that includes the customer-assigned private IP address and wherein the UPIP is unique within the NOC;
• a redundant network address translation (ReNAT) private network component coupled to the ReNAT twin NAT, wherein the ReNAT private network component provides a source IP address to the ReNAT twin NAT;
• and
• communication logic that causes the NOC to facilitate communication between a workstation on a private network and a remote computing device, wherein address translation has been performed by a ReNAT twin NAT client on the workstation;
• wherein the ReNAT twin NAT maps addresses in the data to customer defined private addresses and wherein the ReNAT private network component encrypts the data and transfers the data to the private network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores logic that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, causes the computing device to perform at least the following:

• initiate a private network communication with a private network;
• translate between a customer-assigned private internet protocol (IP) address and a unique private IP (UPIP) address, wherein the UPIP overlaps with a customer-assigned private IP address space and wherein the UPIP is unique within the NOC;
• provide a source IP address to a redundant network address translation (ReNAT) twin network address translation (NAT);
• and
• facilitate communication with a workstation, wherein address translation has been performed by a ReNAT twin NAT client on the workstation;
• map addresses in the data to customer defined private addresses;
• and
• transfer the data to the private network.

A method for providing redundant network address translation (ReNAT) communications, comprising:

• initiating, by a computing device, a connection with a private network;
• translating, by the computing device, between a customer-assigned private internet protocol (IP) address and a unique private IP (UPIP) address, wherein the UPIP overlaps with a customer-assigned private IP address space and wherein the UPIP is unique within a network operations center (NOC) in which the UPIP is utilized;
• facilitating, by the computing device, communication between the computing device that includes a ReNAT twin NAT client and the private network, wherein address translation has been performed by the ReNAT twin NAT client;
• mapping addresses in the data to customer-defined IP addresses;
• and
• transferring the data to the private network.
