Market Drivers – What’s Happening Today? Business demands far exceed the capabilities of legacy networks
Triple Play Convergence (VoIP, video / tele-presence and data)
Virtualization and Consolidation
Collaborative, any-to-any applications – SharePoint, OCS, etc.
Storage Area Networks and Backup and Recovery
Not all “WAN” problems can be solved with bigger pipes
Budgets do not allow for large network investments to support new applications
Emerging markets are getting harder – not “telecom friendly”
Plus – the picture is now changing faster than ever before – legacy, static
solutions do not work anymore

What is a Hybrid Solution? And Why? Hybrid means selecting the best technology for each type of location
Resilient, high-capacity Ethernet for core sites
Leased line, DSL and Ethernet VPLS / MPLS at mid-tier sites
Wide mixture of broadband solutions for smallest sites
Not just about the network foundation either:
Application Optimization a critical requirement
Security (internal and external) and Internet access must be integrated
Voice and video apps are blurring the WAN-LAN boundary
Highly tailored networks are the only way to meet the wide set of demands

Approaches to Delivering Hybrid Solutions Compromise – select a single service provider who can get closest to the
right solution This is the traditional approach
Does not work in emerging markets – need to leverage local infrastructure
Do it yourself – implement and manage a tailored, multi-provider network using in-house resources Only an option for the largest, most advanced enterprises
Extremely high overheads to support this environment
Choice – select a network provider who can deliver a hybrid solution with a single contract, helpdesk process and SLA – regardless of network design This is Reliance Globalcom’s core business
Leverage investment made in systems, processes and staff to support hybrid environments

Cost Benefits, Too – Not Just Functionality “Complex” multi-technology networks can deliver up to 40% in cost savings
Note! Strong supplier management and multi-technology capabilities required of the network provider to make this work
