Hybrid Network Unification

A Prologue on Hybrid Networks Unification

Hybrid Network Unification (HNU) is a cost-effective solution that combines various WAN technologies for rapid application delivery beyond the boundaries. Corporate firms that expand over the sphere generally require enormous bandwidth to exchange data and access their mission critical applications (and standard applications) from site-to-site and remote locations. This might lead to a deficit in bandwidth causing a substantial increase in additional purchase, which is likely to rise once they spread out further. When business requirements amplify with network expansion, IT Managers of an enterprise face a ‘flare-up’ in their budget. The requisites were managed with the deployment of multiple WANs but it led to other trade-offs that weakened the strategy. This is where ‘Hybrid Networking’ comes into effect to exploit various networks and merge them as an optimizing solution. With this unification method, every issue in application delivery can be dealt seamlessly and make the most of the Internet’s ubiquity. Reliability, scalability, and cost-effective WAN Optimization solutions comply with the consolidation of various networks.

What is MPLS Hybrid Network Unification all about?

MPLS-HNU is a modern networking strategy that takes the approach of combining high performance reliable MPLS technology along with low cost massive bandwidth internet lines deployed in an enterprise infrastructure. This type of networking renders persistent network connectivity with bandwidth allocation for any application traffic at low cost. Companies expanding with data centers and branch offices can stay connected with their headquarters and prolong business communication with this productive solution. Such a unified management of merging diverse technologies for the best WAN governance is termed as ‘MPLS Hybrid Network Unification’ assuring business continuity for an organization with quick ROI and savings on network infrastructure.

This approach aims to ‘boost up’ the business progress using the performance metrics such as bandwidth management, availability, scalability, and reliability of deployed networks. Generally, MPLS is more reliable and highly scalable connection that ensures large packet forwarding consistently. While IT administrators connect a global firm’s central site with several remote sites, hybrid networking includes a unified setup of implementing complex networks with an intention of extracting their maximum benefits in terms of both performance and cost.

On a broad-spectrum, hybrid network unification deals with multiple networks converged over a unified management setup for complete optimization of application’s performance and end-to-end WAN security. A HNU device can support several transport protocols (MPLS, Ethernet), different application delivery models (datacenters), and telecom operators. Using HNU, both VPN and MPLS can be deployed to administer application traffic for smooth communication with a resultant of adequate IT savings and a steady business growth. An enterprise that is cautious of WAN optimization techniques can enhance its network performance by deploying devices for hybrid network unification in its network infrastructure.
