For those of you in an enterprise setting who have remote or satellite locations, how do you have your network access set up? In the past a hub/spoke type model was fairly prevalent. In theory, gives you some extra control and a more consolidated location to deploy infrastructure at (security and monitoring tools mainly), but introduces greater impact when there are outages as well as a latency penalty. I like having an Internet egress point at most of my sites in addition to an MPLS for voice and inter-site communications, but this can complicate monitoring as it's tough to justify spending $$ to install security equipment at every location. Perhaps could rely on a layered service offering from an ISP? Interested to hear what others are doing. Thanks!
