Current VPN Market Scenario Current VPN market is dominated by multiple MPLS service providers providing last mile on terrestrial & wireless. The MPLS model is not cost effective when customer wants to connect 100s of sites with user base of 1-5 nos. Cost per Mbps of MPLS lines are very high. Feasibility becomes an issue on terrestrial. Wireless connectivity has issues like permissions for mounting the antennas & masts, and higher initial costs. Customer needs to depend on multiple Service providers to connect all the locations. Locations on different MPLS providers cannot communicate with each other. Additional infrastructure is required at the HQ for managing all of this. As applications are added on the customer network, connectivity becomes the key agenda for all IT managers Slide 3 of 15
Customer Requirements Cost effective solution to connect remote sites Low initial cost Fast deployment across the country Single point of contact for deployment and support High uptime commitment, backed by strong SLA Slide 4 of 15
Broadband as an Alternate Solution Leverage Internet as the least-expensive backbone network Lower cost, at much higher speeds than MPLS Very good reach, with fast deployment Very low initial cost VPNs setup over broadband for secure MPLS-like connectivity Significant opex and capex savings Managing large number of broadband connections is a huge task No uptime guarantees, no QoS Slide 5 of 15
Managed Broadband Service Strong partnership with multiple operators across the country Specialized in provisioning more locations than ISPs, who are limited by their network foot print Single independent resource for deployment & management of broadband VPNs Saves time, money and headaches for customer Facilitate smooth transition to Broadband VPN Slide 6 of 15
