What is the difference between a Sunesys managed WAN and a Sunesys dark fiber WAN?
Think of your network as a train system. You have passengers, freight, and other cargo (data) that needs to be moved between various stations on your network (nodes). A train (transport equipment and protocol) is used to transport your cargo between all of the different stations over a network of tracks (fiber optic cable). In this analogy, dark fiber refers to the network of tracks between stations. You provide the transport equipment (trains) depending on how much and what type of cargo you need to move around. Dark fiber networks allow the customer to provide their own transport equipment allowing for the ultimate in flexibility and scalability when it comes to bandwidth needs. A managed WAN would include the trains as part of the service. This provides the customer with a simpler solution in which they do not have to manage their own network services but sacrifices some of the flexibility and scalability that is offered in the dark fiber solution. In either case, a Sunesys network
