Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) made sense historically because applications were in the data center. But today, it has proven to be a more rigid and expensive form of enterprise Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity. Applications have moved into the cloud and enterprises now want to operate at "cloud speed."
Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect enables enterprises to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of building a WAN by leveraging broadband to connect users to applications (also referred to as SD-WAN). By empowering customers to use broadband connections to augment or replace their current MPLS networks, Silver Peak improves customer responsiveness, increases application performance, and significantly reduces capital and operational expenses.
