Networking technologies and infrastructure used to connect geographically dispersed locations within an organization.
Provides enterprise connectivity, relying on hardware-based routers and manual configurations. Typically based on technologies such as Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Frame Relay, and leased lines.
Hardware Focus
Built using hardware products such as routers to connect distributed locations.
Manual Configurations
Setting up and managing the network requires manual effort and configuration.
Dedicated Lines
Branch traffic travels to the Data Center using dedicated connections.
Fixed Bandwidth
Bandwidth is fixed and requires additional cost to scale up.
Due to its private infrastructure, data traveling over an MPLS network is protected.
Dedicated links provide higher reliability than network routing over the public internet.
Label-based approach allows for immediate routing decisions without complex calculation.
Allows for traffic prioritization, ensuring that VoIP and critical Apps receive the necessary bandwidth.
- For financial institution that requires low-latency and deterministic performance.
Provides reliable connectivity supporting electronic health records (EHR) and telemedicine.
- Guaranteed performance prefers MPLS or leased lines for their ability to handle high bandwidth.
Ideal for applications requiring low latency, such as VoIP and video conferencing.
