Hybrid networks offer the promise of greater flexibility and capacity, improved application performance and cheaper price points than traditional Wide Area Networks (WAN) through the deployment of a combination of transport technologies. However they do add complexity and organisations need to carefully assess their requirements in order to derive the maximum benefit from hybrid network model deployments.
The ability to separate WAN traffic and route it via multiple links and over the Internet has been available for many years. However it is only comparatively recently that organisations have sought to leverage full hybrid network model solutions as part of their core WAN delivery model. This enables the separation and routing of application traffic in an agile, flexible and cost-effective manner.
