MPLS Alternative

Looking for an alternative to MPLS?

Our Software Defined Network (SDN) powered Bonded Internet can be deployed worldwide to create a customizable SD-WAN with nearly no capital costs. Consider below, the two most common deployments for enterprises using our software-defined network (SDN/ SD-WAN) powered Bonded Internet™.

1. Full replacement of MPLS to Hub-and-Spoke IPVPN

REPLACE ALL SITES WITH BONDED INTERNET™
400% increase in per-site Bandwidth
52% decrease in cost (over T1-based MPLS)

We know customers are looking for alternatives to Dedicated/MPLS. Replacing an entire Dedicated/MPLS WAN with a competing service is not a decision to be taken lightly. However, the advantages far outweigh the risks. Consider the ability to increase your per-site bandwidth, such that your most remote sites can take advantage of cloud-based services. Alternatively, you can also access the corporate database securely. Our Software Defined Network (SDN) powered Bonded Internet™ allows enterprise customers to create customized SD WANs for each site.

Consider the Features:

Dedicated Private WAN for all sites
Managed, centralized firewall to control internet traffic
Multi-Connection Bonding (Across Service-Providers/Speeds/Latencies for increased network reliability)
Private or Public IP Addresses – as determined by the enterprise
End-to-End Quality of Service for voice over IP, video conferencing, etc.
Same-IP Failover – network outages don’t affect remote users or applications

3.“Sore-Thumb” Sites – MPLS Add-on

REPLACE “SORE-THUMB” SITES WITH BONDED INTERNET™
Decrease Costs
Maintain Features

4. We understand that not all of an enterprise’s sites can be easily (or affordably) put onto the corporate, Dedicated/MPLS-based Wide Area Network. In fact, from our experience, somewhere between 5% and 20% of a corporate network’s MPLS sites can make up nearly 50% of WAN costs.

Consider a recent 49-site opportunity:

Number of MPLS sites – 49
Average per-site MRC for MPLS – 782.62
Total MRC for MPLS WAN – 38,348.30
Number of sites paying >1000.00/month for MPLS – 11 (22% of all sites)
Monthly Recurring costs for 11 sites: 14,999.36 (39% of entire MPLS WAN costs)

This company replaced 11 of its MPLS/Leased circuit sites with Software Defined Network (SDN/ SD WAN) powered Bonded Internet, DSL, and Cable Hub-and-Spoke WAN and tied the Private WAN into the MPLS network. By doing so, they reduced their costs from $14,999.36 to $3,856.00, saving $11,143.36 per month, or $133,720.00 per year. The company was able to connect their ‘sore thumb sites to the corporate network, with the same features (or better), and leverage low-cost internet connections in doing so.
