A branch environment WAN with failovers for local resilience for UK engineering firm
An MPLS with a number of branch environments with fully diverse resilient circuits. While MPLS does not provide encryption, but it is a virtual private network and, as such, is partitioned off from the public Internet.
About our client
A leading engineering group with a HQ located in the South West that prides itself on providing a dynamic work environment.
In 2020, we assessed the technology in place and defined a project for laying resilience onto their WAN networks to support failovers to local sites to mitigate the risk of outages.
The Challenges
