Eric Olinger breaks down how legacy MPLS networks work and why enterprises are shifting to SD-WAN for lower cost and greater flexibility. He shows how replacing MPLS backbone connectivity with Equinix Fabric between Equinix IBX locations, combined with carrier Ethernet for last-mile access and direct on-ramps to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, lets enterprises stand up a global, API-managed WAN in days rather than weeks or months.
