A network system is provided between at least a first client site and a second client site, the first and the second client site are at a distance from one another. A client site network component is implemented at least at the first client site, the client site network component bonding or aggregating one or more diverse network connections so as to configure a bonded/aggregated connection that has increased throughput. At least one network server component may be configured to connect to the client site network component using the bonded/aggregated connection. A cloud network controller may be configured to manage the data traffic and a virtual edge providing transparent lower-link encryption for the bonded/aggregated connection between the client site network component and the network server component.
A network system for improving network communication performance between sites that are at a distance from one another that is such that would usually require long haul network communication, the system comprising:
A client site network component implemented at least at a first client site in network communication with a second client site, wherein the first client site and the second client site are at a distance from one another that is such that would usually require long haul network communication, the client site network component configured to connect, through a network connection, to at least one network server component implemented at an access point to at least one wide area network, the at least one network server component automatically terminating the network connection and passing the data traffic to an access point to the at least one wide area network, the client site network component configuring a virtual edge providing at least one of transparent lower-link encryption and lower-link encapsulation using a common access protocol for the network connection.
A network server component configured to interoperate with a client site network component at a first client site to configure a network connection, the network server component including at least one concentrator element implemented at a network access point to at least one network, the network server component automatically terminating the network connection and passing data traffic to the network access point to the at least one network for data transmission to a second client site, the first client site and the second client site at a distance from one another that is such that would usually require long haul network communication, the network server component configuring a virtual edge connection providing at least one of transparent lower-link encryption and lower-link encapsulation using a common access protocol for the network connection, the network server component in communication with a cloud network controller configured to manage the data traffic so as to provide a managed network overlay that incorporates the virtual edge connection and at least one long haul network path carried over the at least one network.
