advantages of networking intranetworking & using a computer network

Adaptive Private Networking (APN) is a new technology that combines affordable and easily obtainable IP bandwidth sources such as broadband with high performance, more expensive WAN (wide area network) technologies like MPLS. The end result is next-generation enterprise WANs that can deliver 30 to 100 times the bandwidth per dollar while reducing WAN costs by anywhere from 40 to 90%. Additionally, APN technology offers greater reliability than any modern single provider Frame Relay or MPLS WANs.

The Enterprise WAN market has not seen a lot of change for many years. In the early 1990's, Frame Relay brought better bandwidth at a lower cost to IT Managers looking for alternatives to X.25 and point-to-point leased lines when building their WANs. Frame Relay, along with the comparably expensive single-sourced MPLS services are still the predominant technologies for corporate Intranet traffic today. Both technologies have the benefit of offering highly reliable ("3½ nines," i.e., 99.95%, or better) service from a single carrier. However, the cost of these services comes at a price that is still equal to 1998 pricing on a cost-per-Mbps basis.

The disconnect with regards to pricing becomes very noticeable when compared with the improved affordability of broadband connectivity such as DSL or Cable internet over the same period of time. These services are as cheap as $3 to $15/month per Mbps, and in some cases even less. However, the reason why enterprise businesses have continued to use more expensive solutions such as Frame Relay and MPLS is because the reliability of broadband and internet networks is no business quality and unlikely to ever get to a 99.99% reliability level.

This is where Adaptive Private Networking bridges the gap. APN appliances leverage network bandwidth from multiple sources with a WAN, such as high-speed MPLS connections at central locations and broadband connections at branch locations. In the same way that a VOIP service such as Skype uses overlay networking techniques, APN does the same thing. In layman's terms, this concept allows your wide area network to use large amounts of inexpensive broadband bandwidth combined with small amounts of more expensive MPLS or Frame Relay in order to deliver business-quality connections over the entire network at a fraction of the cost.

The APN appliance performs real-time, per-packet traffic engineering and proprietary end to end algorithms to deliver reliability. The benefits of this technology are massive when consider the reliability and bandwidth required for applications such as VOIP and videoconferencing across an enterprise level corporation. Now a central office in New York can conduct videoconferencing with dozens of branches spread across the country using a hybrid consisting of large percentage of affordable broadband bandwidth and a small percentage of more expensive private bandwidth in order to deliver business quality connections at a fraction of the price.
