Increase WAN Bandwidth
Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology makes it easy to increase bandwidth. In fact you can easily (and affordably) expand your WAN bandwidth by 10 to 20 times. And not just more bandwidth on average – more bandwidth for all of your applications, not just those that are well suited to compression, like bulk file transfers.
Using APN, you can immediately add usable, reliable bandwidth to your private WAN for remote sites by leveraging Internet links that today are only used as VPN backup connections and/or for local Internet access. If you’ve got redundant private WAN connections, APN can use those, too, of course.
Since APN – thanks to the information obtained via Talari's Multipath Network Spectrometry technology – makes packet-by-packet forwarding decisions, rather than per-flow decisions, you can use all available bandwidth, even for a single session. And with APN, bandwidth optimization and bandwidth management are made easy since multiple connections are treated as a single pipe, simplifying the design of QOS rules.
Whether existing or not, APN allows you to add up to seven additional links to your WAN. The low cost of broadband Internet links makes it particularly easy to add bandwidth inexpensively at remote sites. Add, say, just one 6 Mbps downstream, 768 Kbps upstream DSL to a 1.5 Mbps T1 MPLS connection and you’ve increased your corporate WAN bandwidth by 5x at that location. Add three of those 6 Mbps links and now you've got 12x more bandwidth at the site.
And if, for example, you have DOCSIS 3.0 cable Internet access available – as Comcast recently added in a number of locations – you could get 22 Mbps downstream, 5 Mbps upstream for less than $100 a month. That's under $5 per Mbps per month! Using just a single one of these, together with, say, two of those 6 Mbps ADSL connections, would give you more than 20x more bandwidth than a T1 MPLS-based location today – even if you were to disconnect the MPLS connection entirely – and at a small fraction of the cost of what you're paying for MPLS connectivity today.
