Optimize cloud interconnection to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
As manufacturing enterprises gradually enter the digital era, cloud computing technology is attracting more and more attention as a powerful tool to promote productivity improvement. However, in the pursuit of efficient cloud interconnection, many manufacturing enterprises face problems such as high branch network costs and difficult backup lines. This article introduces an innovative SD-WAN + MPLS VPN solution to meet the needs of manufacturing customers to reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve network quality and redundant backup efficiency.
I. Background and Issues:
In order to ensure high-quality interconnection with the cloud, each warehouse adopts MSTP+IPsec to directly interconnect with Alibaba Cloud. However, when the customer is deployed in the Shenzhen zone, the customer's out-of-province branch needs to achieve high-quality interconnection with Alibaba Cloud through inter-provincial long-distance MSTP, resulting in high networking costs. The backup line of the branch is connected to Alibaba Cloud through the Internet, passing through multiple network nodes, which cannot effectively ensure the quality of the backup line.
Second, customer demands:
1.Reduce the cost of private lines.
2.SD-WAN + MPLS VPN for efficient redundant backup.
3.Branches directly access the public cloud to release IDC resources.
3. The value of the SDWAN solution:
1.On-premise and public cloud interconnection: Introduce SD-WAN technology to integrate on-premises and public clouds into the SDWAN network to achieve unified management and policy orchestration, and reduce the cost of private lines.
2.Optimized WAN networking architecture: The SD-WAN + MPLS VPN solution optimizes the WAN networking architecture to achieve more efficient redundant backups. Through dual networks, it ensures that the use of the business system by a single point of failure of the line will not be affected in any way.
3.Unified management simplifies O&M: The introduction of SD-WAN technology simplifies O&M and implements unified management to improve O&M efficiency. It avoids the O&M problem of inconsistent public cloud and on-premises devices.
4.Intelligent traffic steering and QoS applications: Intelligent traffic steering and QoS technologies are applied to ensure bandwidth for critical applications and improve network performance.
Through the comprehensive application of the SD-WAN + MPLS VPN solution, manufacturing enterprises have successfully achieved the goals of reducing the cost of networking, improving the efficiency of redundant backup, and freeing up IDC resources. The optimization of network architecture and unified management make O&M more efficient, and the access speed of overseas sites has been significantly improved. In the wave of digital transformation, the SD-WAN + MPLS VPN solution undoubtedly provides a more flexible and efficient network foundation for manufacturing enterprises. The data shows that compared with the conventional deployment speed, the scheme improves the networking construction speed by 80%.
