. . . on the difference between aggregators and Managed IP VPN providers
|
|
"Companies looking into a managed VPN service to support remote workers and offices need to understand the difference between access aggregation and access integration. Aggregation is just a way to use whatever local broadband services are available in a metro area to reach the provider's backbone, whereas integration creates a seamless end-to-end service that spans multiple provider nets. Because of the nature of the traffic they support, it is imperative that managed IP VPN providers offer customers the highest levels of performance, security and support that can only come from integrating with their access providers."

"If you're going to treat your stores as an island, you can have low-bandwidth connectivity. But if you're trying to bring the entire enterprise together into a seamless, manageable entity, then you need more bandwidth."
