Heavy Networking 618: Building Virtual Networks With Console Connect (Sponsored)

Gone are the days…well, at least going are the days…where you’d call up your service provider account rep to order a circuit and it would take months to fulfill and there was this big build up to the turn up day and so on. Your WAN is becoming automated. Software defined. You go to a web page, order the circuit, and it’s provisioned in a matter of minutes, not months. Now, yes. There are some prerequisites and assumptions built into this utopia I’m describing. You need to be in DCs where the ports are, etc. There’s no magic that’s going to drop fiber to your last mile if it’s not already there. But increasingly, WAN is just…easy. Our sponsor, Console Connect, is just such a purveyor of wide area ease. On today’s Heavy Networking episode, guests Paul Gampe and Jay Turner dig into the Console Connect catalog. We’ll cover Internet On-Demand, CloudRouter, and some of the interesting partner integrations that provide unique connectivity options.
