"Distributed enterprises have begun seeking a greater degree of network-technology integration in their branch sites. The main reason is that organizations continue to splinter into numerous, far-flung locations that use virtual private network (VPN) connections to access data and, increasingly, voice applications and resources. This trend toward the ""extended"" enterprise has IT and upper management keenly focused on optimizing and future-proofing branch-office network configurations, which now represent a significant chunk of network total cost of ownership (TCO). And technology integration can be a boon to lowering TCO.
Reliance on the network for basic business survival has also swung the spotlight around to the issue of network performance and security at branch sites. No longer is it just the revered data center and headquarters LAN that require world-class security, optimum availability, and wire-speed throughput. Now, branches and remote offices—especially those expected to generate revenue—are being elevated to equal status in terms of network performance expectations."
