WAN Connectivity
For distributed enterprises, the wide-area network and the applications that run over it are strategic assets. Your network and your business are inseparable and therefore, reliable and affordable WAN access is critical. As the number of off-site Data Centers continue to rise and businesses look to connect multiple national and international sites, it's increasingly important to have fast, reliable, and affordable WAN connectivity.
A popular trend amongst our savvy Data Center and Co-location customers is the use of direct Point-to-Point circuits installed between customer sites and the co-location facility. This "direct" connection allows the customer to have private, secure connectivity between their offices, data center, or hosted equipment without the need for VPN or other remote access services. This one-stop shop is designed to allow customers the opportunity to secure the lowest cost circuit pricing in each regional area while also enjoying the benefit of a single point of contact for billing, management, and support.
This popular design allows the customer to in essence build a "flat network" between the co-location facility and their offices. A single IP range can be used across their entire organization, and if configured properly, a single firewall can protect both the co-location and office networks. This configuration offers a considerable savings on network, security, and hardware.
