Dear All,

I'm just having a question regarding Regional sites to Main Office Connectivity in a way that is cost effective..

Let's say that i have 10 remote sites that must be connected to the main office? what i want know is:

1- Is there any hardware [Router] that can support the serial connections form all these remote sites..

2- What is the recommended WAN solution just to maintain the 24/7 availability?

Regards..

Dear no4spam

Before you ask for a solution, you have to have to have answers to the following:
1- What kind of WAN services supported by each locations' Telco?
2- What is the required bandwidth to each location?
3- What type of applications are running?
4- WHat is your budget?
5- What level of redundancy is required in your project?

- As for the hardware, there're lots of hardware out there that support your requirements.
- and many WAN solutions that can support 24/7 connectivity.

Dear tcpip,

Thanks for your reply,

1- What kind of WAN services supported by each locations' Telco?

# There is no problem for the Telco WAN services at all, they can provide Frame-Relay, Leased Lines and ISDN..

2- What is the required bandwidth to each location?

# It must be enough since it's mainly will be used for the remote sites to quere the main office DB server as well as DB replecation of about 1 Million Records.

3- What type of applications are running?

# The Remote Sites will quere the main office DB server as well as DB replecation..

4- WHat is your budget?

# It doesn't matter..

5- What level of redundancy is required in your project?

# 100% Redundency for 99.9% Availability
