As the times evolve, enterprises, due to reasons such as international business expansion and global brand outreach, are experiencing an increasing demand for accessing the external network, overseas SaaS applications, cross-border video conferences, and more. However, long-distance networks often encounter various issues, such as slow speeds, inability to access, and network instability. Consequently, the demand for enterprise network acceleration is on the rise.

Today, we will introduce four common enterprise network optimization solutions, allowing businesses to choose based on their specific needs.

The common network optimization and acceleration solutions for enterprises include the following:

MPLS Leased Line:

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) leased lines are based on a broadband IP network. They utilize MPLS technology to establish an enterprise IP network on a public IP network, providing high-quality services for data, voice, and image broadband connections. Through techniques like differentiated services and traffic engineering, MPLS leased lines deliver high-quality services to users.

SD-WAN:

SD-WAN is a novel network optimization and acceleration solution that enhances network performance and user experience through intelligent routing, load balancing, Quality of Service (QoS), and application acceleration technologies.

CDN (Content Delivery Network):

CDN is a content delivery network that deploys servers globally to cache static and dynamic content at nodes closest to users. This improves content transmission speed and reliability.

WAF (Web Application Firewall):

WAF is an application layer firewall that identifies and prevents web attacks, safeguarding enterprise network and data security.

Among the multitude of network optimization products and solutions, how does one choose the most suitable network optimization and acceleration solution to achieve the best connectivity experience?

If the enterprise primarily needs to enhance content transmission speed and reliability, CDN is a suitable choice. For strengthening web application security protection, WAF is an option.

However, enterprises typically involve the mutual visits of headquarters and branch offices, as well as the interaction of various networks, including web applications, data centers, and cloud services. To comprehensively consider various factors and ensure data interaction between offices, accelerate application response times, and optimize application transmission efficiency, enterprises may consider using SD-WAN or MPLS leased lines.

SD-WAN, as a new type of wide-area network architecture, demonstrates characteristics that are more flexible, faster, secure, and reliable compared to MPLS. Leveraging Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and cloud computing technologies, SD-WAN incorporates intelligent routing, application acceleration, load balancing, and more, helping enterprises accelerate local networks, connections to multiple cloud service providers, overseas application acceleration, and improve overall network performance and user experience.
