Optimizing Branch Office Network Infrastructure Total Cost of Ownership with Cisco Integrated Services Routers
According to various industry sources, branch office users comprise 30 to 90 percent of enterprise employees globally, with remote locations and users consuming 70 to 90 percent of business resources. To be successful, these employees require access to the same applications, systems, and tools as employees located at a corporate headquarters. At the same time, business continuity is accelerating resource centralization, with more and more critical assets moving into the enterprise headquarters and data center. To meet regulatory compliance and cost control requirements, many organizations are optimizing resources and reducing complexity in the branch office. Although centralizing branch resources and increasing access brings great benefits, it can also pose security, latency, and performance challenges. Branch office networks need to be secure, available, remotely manageable, and extensible — and they must deliver application performance and quality of experience that is as good as it is in the main offices.
