What is Governance? Governance is the activity of governing. It relates to decisions that define expectations, grant power, or verify performance. It consists either of a separate process or of a specific part of management or leadership processes. (source Wikipedia)

What is WAN Governance?Aligning the WAN to the needs of the business. Defining, verifying and guaranteeing the performance of applications running over the WAN.A sub-discipline within overall IT Governance.

What is a Hybrid Network?Hybrid networks use a combination of any two or more topologies (source Wikipedia)

E.g. MPLS/Internet; MPLS/MPLS; MPLS/MPLS/Internet;...

WAN what? Hybrid Who? Let’s define some terms...

Why Hybrid Networking? … Performance

Performance is bound to available bandwidth and by distance

MPLS bandwidth is limited

Internet broadband is everywhere

Aren’t Hybrid Networks difficult? … #1

Issue #1: Increased operational costs

Management of the PBR configuration is tricky, time consuming and error prone

Aren’t Hybrid Networks difficult? … #2

Issue #2: Sub optimal performance

Links are under-used as PBR is based on static and local parameters

No contingency when link quality degrades

No ability to distinguish business apps based on layer 7 criteria (URL …)

Aren’t Hybrid Networks difficult? … #3

Issue #3: how will it combine with other technologies: Visibility, WAN Optimization, QoS … ?

How do you report on it?How do you control overall performance?How do you consistently accelerate?
