Hybridiverkko
Hybridiverkko is a network architecture that combines two or more distinct communication technologies or network domains to provide connectivity and services. By integrating wired and wireless links, as well as on-premises and cloud resources, a hybridiverkko aims to achieve greater flexibility, resilience, and cost efficiency than a single technology can offer.
Key elements of a hybridiverkko include multi-technology access, unified control and management, policy-based routing, and security
Common patterns of hybrid networks include:
- Multi-Access Hybrid Networks, which combine fixed broadband with mobile backhaul or wireless failover to ensure continuity.
- Hybrid fiber and copper networks, integrating fiber backhaul with copper access for cost or reach advantages.
- Hybrid cloud-network integration, linking on-premises infrastructure with public cloud via VPN or SD-WAN.
Benefits typically include improved reliability through diverse routing options, optimized performance by steering traffic to the
