But before you can unleash the power of Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure , or any other Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering, you need to get to the cloud, and thats a lot harder than it sounds. Continuing to backhaul Internet and cloud traffic adds too much latency and consumes costly MPLS bandwidth.

Rather than building, upgrading and maintaining capex-based systems and applications in on-premises data centers, organizations are increasingly employing cloud delivery models such as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) to take advantage of new opportunities.

Internet access remains tightly controlled, with only large, or headquarters facilities having local Internet connectivity. Thus, all access to Internet-based apps requires routing flows from the branch to the headquarters or datacenter location, and then out to the Internet. The answer?

Communication hubs also host regionalized security stacks so that traffic going to/coming from the Internet and external clouds can be inspected thoroughly for threats. Voice and video traffic is on the rise, and it requires high bandwidth, low latency transport.

Incorporating the Internet into the enterprise network reduces costs and lets companies connect resources anywhere, but security is paramount. Robust application-prioritization capabilities allow enterprises to align last-mile usage with business needs by prioritizing and allocating bandwidth by application.

The network perimeter has dissolved with IaaS, SaaS, and mobile users breaking that barrier and shifting more traffic to the Internet. They connected and secured traffic between stores with an Internet-based, virtual private network (VPN). Protection was particularly important as employees accessed the Internet directly.

MPLS came of age when users worked in offices, resources resided in the datacenter, and the Internet was an afterthought. It was hopelessly out of step with a world that needed to move fast and one obsessed with the Internet. High Availability (HA) becomes a headache: With SD-WAN relying on Internet connections, HA is all but required.
