Connecting remote Facilities.
The company I work for has a remote facility (factory and shipping warehouse) that connects to our main facility via a bundled T1 MPLS. There are around 10 users that are connecting via Citrix to our business system, a machine monitoring system and RF barcode scanners all using the connection.
Over the last few months, I have been receiving a lot of pressure from various people in my organization to switch from the current circuit to business cable and use vpn.
I am at odds with them mainly because I have had great service on our MPLS circuit. If there is a problem, someone is usually working on it before I know anything has went wrong.
I am trying to be fair and I realise that the costs are tremendiously lower to use business cable. However I can’t help but feel like this is the wrong direction.
Anyone have advice or any good information that can help me in either direction?
Thanks,
Peter J. Fischel
