THE SITUATION
Enterprise customers are currently using
expensive private line services and point-to-point
links to interconnect corporate headquarters
with their remote and branch office locations.
THE CHALLENGE
- Enterprise customers
want to streamline their networks with
secure broadband connections over public
data networks for access to remote
locations.
- Enterprise customers want to collapse
their multiple overlay networks for
voice and data over a single, outsourced
network that their carriers can easily
operate and support.
- As migration to public
data networks takes place, security
for enterprise customers is becoming
a top priority for protection of IT
assets and remote access to corporate
Intranets.
- Enterprise IT operators need tools
to remotely control user access and
to manage limited bandwidth.
- An alternate
access method is required in the event
of network outages, to ensure uninterrupted
service.
- Corporations want to provide
tools to help their employees manage
their workloads, to enhance productivity
and overall quality of life.
