To deliver high-quality services at a lower cost, you probably have already considered or have adopted a hybrid network—a mix of MPLS, Internet VPN, and public Internet. You’ve seen the benefits of having multiple transport capabilities but, as you add more and different links, you’ve also dealt with the increasing complexity of managing quality, failover and traffic routing rules for a diverse application portfolio. Manual configuration of remote resources, especially routers in the branch, is costly and difficult, often requiring expensive IT expertise onsite, difficult CLI-based configuration and the risk of human error and misconfiguration.
