Anyone whos purchased MPLS bandwidth has experienced the surreal. While at home you might spend $50 for a 50 Mbps Internet link, MPLS services can cost 10 times more for a fraction of the bandwidth. Security – What do you need to secure the Internet access points at each of your offices?

MPLS: Reliable, But Comes with a Price The popularity of MPLS deployments in corporate WAN infrastructures comes from its predictability. Service providers can use MPLS to improve quality of service (QoS) by defining network paths that meet pre-set service level agreements (SLAs) on traffic latency, jitter, packet loss, and downtime.

Security between locations, though, was not an issue provided the WAN was based, as most were, on a private MPLS service. With its ability to separate customer traffic, MPLS services give enterprise IT professionals enough confidence to send data unencrypted between locations.

It is easy for an enterprise to fall into a false sense of security because they can view all the traffic traversing MPLS links. The problem is today enterprise WANs are a mix of MPLS, Internet-based VPNs, mobile users, and cloud services. I can even see down to a single person and how much bandwidth (s)he is using.

SASE merges the network optimization capabilities of SD-WAN with a full security stack, including Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and more. MPLS improves the performance and reliability of traffic flows, yet remains an expensive, rigid solution with limited capacity.

Examples include: Mission critical locations, such as datacenters or regional hubs, can be connected by active-active, dual homed fiber connections managed and monitor 24×7 by an external provider — and with a price tag that approaches MPLS. Redundant connections are whats needed.

Rather than connecting every location to the Internet and then having to secure those locations, legacy WANs backhauled Internet traffic across the MPLS network to a centralized, secured Internet portal. Research shows that DIA bandwidth costs can be as much as 90 percent less than MPLS bandwidth costs.
