Site Networking

Effective site networking is crucial for businesses aiming to ensure seamless collaboration, high productivity, and secure data exchange across multiple locations.

Modern enterprises require networking solutions that offer flexibility, scalability, security, and reliable performance. By choosing the right approach – such as hybrid solutions combining SD-WAN and Ethernet over WAN – companies can optimize operations, reduce costs, and stay agile in an evolving digital landscape. Discover how nets360 helps your business locations connect efficiently, safely, and prepared for the future.

Current Situation

Currently, most companies still rely on established yet increasingly outdated technologies for site networking, such as VPN (Virtual Private Network) and MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). Although these solutions have been the standard for a long time, today they present significant challenges: VPN connections, while cost-effective and flexible, offer limited control over bandwidth, latency, and frequently experience fluctuating performance due to their dependence on the public internet. Additionally, they carry heightened security risks, including vulnerability to DDoS attacks, and involve considerable administrative overhead, particularly for organizations managing multiple locations.

On the other hand, MPLS provides stability and reliable performance but incurs high costs, lacks flexibility, and offers limited scalability for modern cloud applications. The implementation of new sites often takes weeks or even months. As a result, companies increasingly encounter limitations, especially regarding flexibility, scalability, and cost control.

Next Generation Networks

Modern site networking increasingly relies on Next Generation Networks (NGN), particularly SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) and Ethernet over WAN (Wide Area Network). SD-WAN is revolutionizing enterprise networks by intelligently controlling network traffic, providing centralized management, and offering maximum flexibility while significantly reducing costs. Businesses benefit from dynamic bandwidth management, rapid site integration, and enhanced security through integrated encryption and segmentation. However, SD-WAN technology predominantly relies on data transmission via the public internet, which remains a potential drawback.

Ethernet over WAN represents the most advanced and secure approach to site networking. It leverages the advantages of the Ethernet standard, including VLAN transport, to establish site-to-site Layer-2 connections outside the public internet. Companies thus gain reliable, scalable, and high-performance connections ideally suited for demanding applications such as cloud services, data center connectivity, or real-time communication. Ethernet over WAN combines the benefits of traditional networking technologies with contemporary requirements, enabling companies to transition towards a flexible, high-performing, and future-proof network architecture.

TCO comparison

TCO comparison of MPLS, SD-WAN, and Ethernet over WAN

When selecting a technology for site networking, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a critical factor.

MPLS
offers reliable performance but consistently generates high operational costs, particularly at higher bandwidths, due to long contractual commitments and limited scalability.

SD-WAN
stands out through lower initial investment and significant savings in ongoing costs, thanks to the flexible use of affordable internet connections. Nevertheless, businesses adopting SD-WAN often face higher indirect costs, such as hardware, ongoing license fees, increased support effort, backup strategies, and potential performance issues arising from dependence on the public internet.

The Ethernet over WAN solution typically delivers the most favorable long-term TCO. Although initial costs are often higher compared to SD-WAN, the predictable operational expenses, superior performance, security, and scalability substantially reduce maintenance, administration, and security management overhead. Companies benefit from future-proof infrastructure, combining cost-efficiency with technical superiority.
