eNet Fabric – Middle Mile Optimization

  • What challenge does SD-WAN face today?

    The challenge in today’s SD-WAN network is that SD-WAN is mostly built over the internet to lower network costs as compared to traditional MPLS networks. However, the internet is a network in which no single provider can have full control over how traffic is routed due to its frequent variations in its performance. This unpredictability therefore affects the performance of the middle mile optimization in SD-WAN technology and negates any benefits that come with it, impacting business operations.

  • What is CBC Tech eNet fabric?

    CBC Tech provides a high-performance SD-WAN network on a single service level agreement (SLA) - powered by CBC Tech eNet Fabric: a congestion-free IP backbone (middle mile). The eNet Fabric is integrated with CBC Tech IP backbone on IPv4 and IPv6 technologies, traditional MPLS network, and SSL VPN technology and interconnected with international carriers through CBC Tech congestion-free international internet channel. Customers' last mile connects to the nearest ECR (eNet Cloud Router), which relies on private and public network resources, making use of CBC Tech's patented Smart Path technology to route the middle mile traffic should their primary route experience downtime.

Key features and benefits of eNet Fabric

  • High Performance and Cost-Effective SD-WAN Underlay

    eNet Fabric is backed by SLA including 99.9% high availability with latency and packet loss under 1%. Brings TCO savings of up to 44%.

  • Smart and Global

    Intelligent traffic routing algorithms ensure application service outcomes match or exceed agreed performance parameters. With over 25 global SD-WAN PoPs and nearly 150 public cloud resources, the eNet Fabric offers customers comprehensive global coverage including mainland China.

  • Global and China Cloud/SaaS Access

    The eNet Fabric is well-connected with key global cloud service providers (CSP) including AWS, Azure, as well as top China CSPs (Alicloud, Tencent, Huawei, etc.)

  • China Tier-1 Direct Peering & Ipv6 Ready

    Full BGP peering with Tier 1 China carriers，international carriers and Fiber operators in China.

  • Zero-trust and Congestion-free Integrated Security Fabric

    The eNet Fabric provides comprehensive zero-trust network access and a congestion-free integrated security fabric based on integrated solutions with international leading security brands, such as Zscaler, Fortinet, and Asianfo.

  • Use Case 1: SaaS Optimization
  • Use Case 2: Operations Improvement
  • Use Case 3: MPLS Migration & TCO Savings

Challenges Faced By Customers

  • High packet loss in a security application in China and occasionally cross border traffic for current AWS internet.
  • Bad end-user experience on the internet to cloud applications.
  • Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many corporate communications rely heavily on global applications like O365, Azure, Teams and Zoom. As a result of frequent packet loss and interrupted connections, China staff cannot access them, and email applications are too slow.

CBC Tech Solution

  • CBC Tech provides end-to-end managed services for connecting customer sites to the CBC Tech eNet fabric (middle mile) - an IPv6 backbone solution, enabling quick and stable access to overseas applications and Office 365 in China and high-quality performance for SD-WAN traffic.
  • Every site in CBC Tech eNet Connect offers High Availability backup 4G along with the Express IP solution. Non-criteria traffic is split locally at the site, whereas criteria traffic is tunneled into the CBC Tech eNet Fabric for access to global applications via the congestion-free cross-border backbone.

Customer Benefits

Improved load time with CBC Tech global eNet PoPs

With CBC Tech eNet Fabric, load time has been reduced to less than 1000ms and performance has been improved when. communicating with global servers and international SD-WAN devices

Customers' can focus on SD-WAN deployment without having to worry about the underlay performance, which is the middle. mile, from China to international sites

China users can now access global work productivity SaaS remotely with significant improvements in speed and packet loss.

Challenges Faced By Customers

  • High site isolation duration and times affecting business operation.
  • High operating cost.

CBC Tech Solution

  • End users' traffic is routed to fewer unnecessary hops on the internet because of the solution, improving the overall experience with faster connectivity, improved speed, and lower packet loss when communicating with international SD-WAN devices and accessing global applications.
  • CBC Tech provided a one-stop-shop service to connect customers’ China site to eNet Fabric with a centralized management portal, from which the customers can see the real-time monitoring of the networks, enabling customers to keep abreast of the network status of the store.
  • CBC Tech implemented 4G backup at every site to ensure the service when the main circuit is down.

Customer Benefits

  • Cost effective with cost reduced by at 30% average and fast deployment.
  • Site isolation reduced by > 60%, ticket count reduced by >35%.
  • Customers can focus on their core of business and expansion of business.

Challenges Faced By Customers

  • High cost accessing productivity SaaS using MPLS from their 20+ China sites as all Intranet services are migrated to the cloud.
  • The client has deployed Global O365, Teams, Azure and AWS in Singapore but the Chinese users have complained about the cross-border connectivity problem and that the MPLS bandwidth is too small and costly to upgrade.

CBC Tech Solution

  • CBC Tech provides the eNet Connect solution with full redundancy, at CBC Tech PoPs and with 4G remote control at every site, to migrate the MPLS links. This helps to offload the Internet-bound traffic to the CBC Tech eNet fabric using existing offices Internet.
  • A cost-effective, reliable, and stable connectivity solution is achieved with the eNet Fabric, since the IPv6 backbones replaced the MPLS network, as well as intelligently splitting traffic for domestic and international traffic at the customer site. 

Customer Benefits

  • CBC Tech eNet Connect has provided the company with a cost-effective SD-WAN platform that has enhanced their international. access with minimal packet loss and improved their internet quality and stability. 
  • eNet Connect brings TCO savings of 44% for customers.
  • MPLS network cost is reduced because customers no longer need to keep upgrading their network for all sites while they chieve the same good performance as before.
