What’s Really the Best Approach for Replacing MPLS Connectivity?

CATO Networks

Users continue to require ever increasing amounts of bandwidth, an expensive resource for MPLS networks. Connecting to cloud datacenters and cloud applications either often becomes costly and difficult, or painfully slow with MPLS. Mobile users are still ignored by MPLS infrastructure. Mobile users are still ignored.
