Understanding the strategic importance of online delivery, PacketExchange has defined a series of solutions that give the greatest possible protection to this digital revenue stream. While the simplest solution is to deploy connections to multiple IP Transit providers from each business location, this leaves today's Enterprise at the mercy of the unmanaged and inherently insecure and unreliable public Internet. As such PacketExchange believes hybrid solution of internet access and private networking will be best placed to achieve the goals of performance, flexibility and reliability sought in the ever changing commercial environment, while always mindful of achieving the benefits of private networking at Internet economics. The requirements of today's distribution solutions outstrip capabilities delivered in earlier delivery system approaches. As corporations have fundamentally changed the ways they use the Web, the nature of the delivery systems must also fundamentally change. PacketExchange meets and exceeds the requirements of today's Web applications by changing the delivery mechanism from a tactical infrastructure cost to a strategic solution asset that ensures safe, reliable and consistent revenue delivery. It is the only delivery platform that bypasses the shortcomings of earlier generation delivery networks-whether Internet acceleration, application acceleration or Internet measurement.
