Network performance, security, and redundancy all became major issues as AdRoll grew, prompting Dunne to search for a VPN alternative. What struck me most about AdRolls use case was that it was a microcosm for the issues so many enterprises face with VPN. Often, VPNs makes sense at a small scale or for one-off applications.

For your business to stay ahead of the pack, you should be looking to improve network and security infrastructure to have the flexibility and strength to handle not just todays bandwidth demands, but tomorrows demands as well. However, MPLS traffic from the service provider to the on-premises routers is notoriously expensive.

In this blog, we will explore what static routes are, how they differ from dynamic routes, and how to configure them on routers like Cisco devices. Low Overhead : Static routes do not consume bandwidth for routing updates or require additional CPU resources to compute paths. How can I configure static routes? 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2

Be it power supplies, servers, routers, load balancers, proxies, or any other physical and virtual network components, the horizontal scaling that redundancy provides is the ultimate safety net in the presence of failure or atypical traffic demands. Top talkers are often the cause of outages for application stacks.

SD-WAN Cost Savings Early marketing around SD-WAN technology pointed to the 90 percent cost difference between MPLS and Internet bandwidth costs. They encrypt traffic, like any other VPN, but lack the advanced security services necessary for defending against advanced persistent threats, malware penetration, and more.

SD-WANs reduce bandwidth costs, no doubt, but enterprises are still left having to address important issues around cloud, mobility, and security. The Problem of MPLS Bandwidth costs remain the most obvious problem facing MPLS services. Bandwidth upgrades and changes can also take weeks. SD-WANs automate these and other steps.

Operational costs grew as administrators had to manually configure and deploy routers and appliances needed in the branch offices: WAN optimizers for overcoming bandwidth limitations, stacks of security appliances for defending the Internet perimeter, packet capture and analysis appliances for visibility and more.
