Meshed IP WAN Solutions
Traditional WAN architectures route all connections through a headquarter location using a traditional "hub-and-spoke" architecture, creating a single point of failure and reduced overall reliability. LightEdge Meshed IP WAN solutions use the LightEdge carrier-class, redundant core network as the WAN center, providing multiple redundant paths with no single point of failure, resulting in increased reliability over traditional WAN solutions.
More Efficient
Because all connections route through the LightEdge core network, Meshed IP WAN reduces Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) or connections and bandwidth needed at the host site to manage all services. This reduces dependency on the corporate site and lets LightEdge network experts manage the WAN and services.
Flexible and Scalable
Multi-carrier access integration provides simpler contracts, a single bill and 24/7 troubleshooting. With traffic routing through the LightEdge host network, adding sites and services is easier and requires no costly, time-consuming upgrades to the corporate site.
Secure
LightEdge controls link quality and security at the network entry point, eliminating the need for tunneling and encryption.
Virtual Private Router
LightEdge IP WAN solutions implement a managed Layer 3 dedicated routing platform via a virtual private router (VPR) residing in our hosting center, with no exposure to the public Internet. Fully-meshed network enables direct communication between remote sites and eliminates the need to pass data through a traditional headquarter site.
Cost-effective, High-performance Solution
IP WAN from LightEdge provides the advantages of a highly-reliable, fully-meshed, redundant network architecture, housed in our multi-homed, multi-city carrier-class network core. And LightEdge IP WAN solutions can provide significant cost savings over many traditional WAN solutions.
