Why this Solution?
Normally, enterprises access Office 365 by connecting to Microsoft Azure over expensive MPLS links or the Internet.
However, the problems are that:
- Only a small number of MPLS network providers provide ExpressRoute for Office 365;
- ExpressRoute service is now not available in China;
- MPLS is quite expensive;
- It takes a long time to build MPLS architecture and during this period WAN optimization devices cannot be deployed;
- Access via the Internet is cost-saving but network congestion happens frequently.
Under such a circumstance, enterprises need to find a better solution to access Office 365, a next-generation access optimization solution that can be quickly deployed and is more compatible with cloud and SaaS applications.
Solution
With the deployment of LightWAN CPE devices in user's network, traffic accessing Office 365 can be redirected to LightWAN core network. Also, users can install Mobile CPE on mobile devices to optimize access to Office 365.
