Hybrid networking is the simultaneous usage of different networks-- MPLS and Internet VPN--to interconnect an enterprise's headquarters, data centers and remote sites. Ipanema's solution for Hybrid Network Unification automatically combines the performance and quality of business grade MPLS, the high capacity and lower-cost of Internet VPN, and fully integrated QoS and WAN optimization approaches. This dynamic mix enables enterprises to get the best of both worlds in a unified network: significantly greater scalability and speed with 99.99% reliability.

"Sense and respond," application-aware intelligence unifies traffic management automatically
 
Hybrid networking is not a new concept, but has been complex and difficult to implement so far. Until now, performance and continuity have been less than optimal, mitigating the expected business benefits.

Ipanema unifies hybrid network performance and optimizes application delivery through automated, second-by-second decision making, using distributed components that can exchange information quickly and accurately.  This "sense and respond" intelligence dynamically monitors end-to-end network performance and load, while recognizing each application's business criticality, performance objective and information sensitivity - and shifts and optimizes traffic accordingly, all in real time.

The only "all in one" integrated network management solution

Ipanema's Hybrid Network Unification is the newest offering in its "All in One" system, the market's only solution to encompass Application Visibility, Quality of Service (QoS) and Control, WAN Optimization, and now, Dynamic WAN Selection. Based on Ipanema's patented Autonomic Networking, technology, the result is adaptive, globally coordinated, automated processing of all application flows on the network.

Companies using Ipanema's all in one solution can:

• Guarantee unified application performance across [MPLS + Internet] networks: Enterprises can now consolidate data centers and adopt new computing platforms faster, with complete visibility and seamless management of external or private cloud networks.
• Improve business communication continuity: Combining business-grade MPLS with standard Internet access provides 99.99% availability.
• Exploit larger network capacity with lower IT costs: Customers using Ipanema's solution have shown a 50-80% decrease in costs per transferred Gbyte for a hybrid [MPLS + Internet] unified network compared to full MPLS.
• Benefit from Internet immediacy and ubiquity: For enterprises that need to quickly deploy or modify their infrastructure, Ipanema enables everywhere and anytime access to the Internet, even where MPLS networks are out of reach.
• Turn back-up lines into business lines: Enterprises can actually utilize the costly resources that otherwise remain unused 99.9% of the time.
