Is anyone aware of any links or research that discuss the advantages of taking a large enterprise from an expensive private network (OC-3s and private lines all over) to more use of the public network, in terms of cost reduction and efficiency? Many will still argue that a tightly firewalled private network is necessary, but -- out of the box here -- is it really? Couldn't one put protection on files and route them over the public network? Couldn't an enterprise save $$ by using the public network for email? At first, people might say, "No! we don't want all your corporate email dumped on the Internet, which is crowded enough." But, if corporations make more use of the Internet and develop more dependency on it, wouldn't they have more of a stake in the development and improvement of it? If anyone knows of any public white papers on this subject that have been posted or would like to share thoughts on this subject, I'd appreciate it.
