How businesses are finding a new way to future-proof their networks
Over recent years, many businesses have come to rely on the highly effective infrastructure that multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) delivers, and as a trusted solution, it has become the foundation on which the demands of today’s digital customers can be fulfilled. MPLS provides a highly reliable platform on which businesses can build their networks to offer increased agility and more robust security. As enterprises continue to expand and diversify by adopting cloud services, this can be enhanced by implementing a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) alongside existing MPLS architecture in a hybridised configuration, writes David Palmer, the head of product and network design at Claranet.
