What is MPLS and who needs it
MPLS: Multi-Protocol Label Switching is intended for Internet applications and is defined as “a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks that direct and carried data from one network node to the next, making it easy to create ‘virtual links’ between distant nodes.”
As you can imagine, when dealing with many sites, running a full-mesh of physical links from one site to another would be cost-prohibitive. To solve this problem, years ago WAN providers devised another solution: build a fault-tolerant physical topology within the provider’s cloud using Layer-2 switches.
This is a great product to work in conjunction with our VoIP.

Many of these companies have one server that houses their whole database, accounting or proprietary information in which the other locations need to access.
