Remote Network Requirements

The central site must: Provide secure and reliable access to resources for remote users. Accommodate many types of WAN connections from remote locations. Remote sites: Branch office A remote location that accommodates employees who have a reason to be located away from the central site. A branch office is also called a remote site or remote office. SOHO site A small office with one to several employees or the home office of a telecommuter. Mobile workers sites Remote locations for mobile users who tend to access the company network using an asynchronous dialup connection or access the corporate intranet using broadband Internet service.

Setting Up WAN Connections for Remote Sites

Factor Multiple access options Cost Access control Secure connectivity Authentication Redundancy Infrastructure availability Options Leased line, broadband, MPLS, Frame Relay, VPN, ISDN Permanent, on-demand, public or private Router and firewall rulesets IPsec or MPLS VPN Remote to central Duplicate services in case of failure Not all services are available in all areas

Intelligent Information Network

Intelligent Information Network (IIN) integrates networked resources and information assets. IIN extends intelligence across multiple products and infrastructure layers. IIN actively participates in the delivery of services and applications. Three phases in building an IIN are: Integrated transport Integrated services Integrated applications

Cisco SONA Framework

The Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) is an architectural framework. SONA brings several advantages to enterprises: Outlines how enterprises can evolve towards the IIN Illustrates how to build integrated systems across a fully converged intelligent network Improves flexibility and increases efficiency

Cisco SONA Layers

Self Check
1. What are the 3 layers included in the traditional hierarchical model? 2. What 3 types of remote sites that must be accommodated at the central site? 3. What are some examples of the types of WAN technologies used to connect a remote site to the central site?

Summary
The traditional three-layer hierarchical model no longer completely meets the needs of large enterprise networks with remote sites. Cisco Enterprise Architecture integrates the entire networkcampus, data center, branches, teleworkers, and WANto provide secure access to all tools, processes, and services across all sectors of the company. Providing secure remote access is a key feature of Cisco Enterprise Architecture. The infrastructure layer of SONA addresses remote access. IIN aligns IT resources with business priorities. Cisco SONA provides an evolutionary path to IIN.
