Notice some info about MPLS; <br />
- MPLS provides a mechanism for engineering network traffic patterns that is independent of routing tables. <br />
- MPLS assigns short labels to network packets that describe how to forward them via the network. <br />
- MPLS is independent of any routing protocol and can be used for unicast packets.<br />
- In an MPLS environment, the analysis of the packet header is performed just once, when a packet enters the MPLS cloud<br />
We use MPLS cloud; in order to connect our multiple location. We went with MPLS-based network because it gives us a complete control over our WAN, Improve disaster recovery, easily reconnect to backup locations if needed and applications can be re-routed, greater high availability,<br />
Performance and most importantly for us was that we significantly reduce capital and operating costs.<br />

MPLS Networks

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
