Time to get your WAN architecture to Rethink -

A recent research article by Gartner, entitled Hybrid, the new normal for Next Generation will be enterprise WAN, makes a strong argument for network architects and planners think about basic access connectivity and multiple WAN service network together, including MPLS & Internet, a "hybrid WAN" .The new WAN will business to build by providing flexibility for application traffic benefit through the optimal combination sent, depending on the application needs and links conditions. So the performance of high priority applications will will always be equal to or better than the best MPLS connection in the network. will bring Also adding Internet into the mix advantages, namely a reduced cost and a cloud-friendly enterprise network.In effect, enterprise WAN should be a design veer that brings the best in each of its component links, and provides much more than the sum of its parts.

Well, we agree with Citrix with this motto. So much so that we now have a new offer in this direction. The newly announced Cloudbridge virtual WAN, the company offers a solution logically several different WAN links in a virtual connection and send packets on application requirements and network performance basis to connect

Traditionally, the majority of companies used links MPLS to connect primarily their branches to data centers, but there are several reasons question this practice:

Take advantage of the free compound and make failovers seamless

many companies have already a back-up WAN connection at office locations. A different MPLS-line from another provider or an Internet line, but the back-up line is a resource that is fully paid for by the company, but remains largely quiet except when the primary connection fails.

[1945001dieseRessource] ignore, is like saying that a company can use only half of the building space, for which they have paid or committed only half their workforce in active projects at a time, but each still the content or use only half of the computer charged equipment they purchased the other half as a back-up in case conks from the first half and hold ... you get the picture.

use is only half of WAN resources for a waste of money!

With Cloudbridge virtual WAN, you can not otherwise used, back-up connections to active covert. Change to work your dual MPLS use in active-active mode or to extend MPLS to the Internet link. In the event that a link fails, does Cloudbridge virtual WAN failover traffic on the other link seamlessly to the application user experience.

scale WAN cost effectively, while the desired reliability maintained

While we are on the subject of money, there are the details of the differences between the price you for in MPLS per mbps traffic to pay compared to what you pay for a broadband Internet connection or another public WAN connection. According to the report of the Network entitled Why MPLS costs so much more than Internet connectivity?, MPLS can be anywhere from 20 times to 100 times more expensive than an Internet connection, depending on where you are from that part of the world,. Cloudbridge virtual WAN You can logically connect several compounds capacity to scale WAN while maintaining the required reliability features and at the same time dramatically reduce the average per-Mbps costs.

Bonding multiple public networks together reliability [increases

Although most service providers cover large areas, is the fact that MPLS everywhere just not available. Enterprises and government organizations need offices in the farthest corners of the world put into operation and a need for highly reliable connectivity. By bonding together multiple heterogeneous satellite and other Internet links, can Cloudbridge virtual WAN diversify the probability of all compounds away at fail simultaneously and thus prop an "always-on" branch, in the absence of MPLS.

not all applications are equal to

Under the full range of application traffic on the corporate network flows, not all traffic require MPLS-grade reliability and performance. We speak of traffic such as bulk transfers or leisure travel - which is not to be latency-sensitive or high priority, or both. So matching application requirements to the correct network costs and properties is important. Choosing to low priority traffic offload to inexpensive public Internet paths with Cloudbridge virtual WAN, the primary MPLS link clarify and possibly improve the quality and experience of high-priority applications. At the other end of the spectrum, latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP to send duplicate packets delivery by fastest possible way at all times to ensure.

measuring and monitoring

Cloudbridge virtual WAN measures network performance statistics to monitor the health of each member in each direction. In addition to the network information using packet way to make decisions, there are network administrators a complete dashboard view of an entire mesh network of data centers and branch offices
