Optimizing Global Enterprise Connectivity White Paper

This white paper discusses the challenges enterprises face with current Internet routing protocols, particularly the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which has significant drawbacks for modern network needs. It outlines how BGP's routing decisions are primarily based on the Internet provider's interests rather than user needs, leading to inefficiencies and congestion. The document details three technologies that have emerged to address these issues: Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Each technology's advantages and disadvantages are explored, highlighting the need for more effective solutions as enterprises increasingly rely on cloud services. The paper emphasizes the importance of a multi-cloud approach and the role of AI and machine learning in optimizing network performance. It concludes with a presentation of Teridion Connect, a solution that leverages multiple cloud providers to enhance connectivity and performance, ensuring higher throughput and reliability for enterprise applications.
