Office Connect for Point-to-Point and Multi-Site Connectivity
Enterprise site connectivity does not have to rely only on IPsec or GRE over the public internet, and it does not always need the high cost of separate traditional point-to-point circuits. Office Connect uses Chunghwa Telecom last mile into the Server Plus backbone to build more stable, manageable interconnection for two offices, stores, and multiple sites.

Server Plus Office Connect uses Chunghwa Telecom last mile into the Server Plus backbone to plan point-to-point and many-to-many enterprise connectivity. It suits two-office, store, branch, and Taipei/New Taipei/Keelung site requirements, with more controllable stability and operations than public IPsec or GRE and a more manageable cost structure than separate traditional private lines.
Service Positioning
Office Connect is neither ordinary business broadband nor merely a VPN tunnel. It uses a Chunghwa Telecom last-mile circuit for physical access, enters the Server Plus backbone, then plans point-to-point or many-to-many interconnection around enterprise requirements.
This suits organizations that need stable connectivity across sites, including headquarters and branches, two offices, stores and back-end systems, warehouses and ERP, surveillance return traffic, or internal-service access.
- Point-to-point interconnection between two offices
- Interconnection of multiple stores, branches, and headquarters
- Serviceability evaluation in Taipei, New Taipei, and Keelung
- Point-to-point or many-to-many topology planned to requirement
- Suitable for internal systems, ERP, NAS, surveillance, and VoIP traffic
Differences from IPsec and GRE
IPsec and GRE are quick and inexpensive to build, but they normally run over the public internet. Quality is affected by internet routing, peak congestion, packet jitter, NAT, encryption overhead, and the state of both endpoint ISPs. They can be acceptable for backup or infrequent access but are not always stable for sustained operational traffic.
With last-mile physical access and backbone-network planning, Office Connect makes routing, latency, jitter, and operational responsibility more controllable. It is better suited as a production architecture for offices, stores, and internal services that require stable connectivity than a design that depends only on public tunnels.
- Does not rely on general public-internet routing as the primary transport
- Latency and jitter are easier to control
- Does not require all site traffic to be encapsulated in IPsec or GRE tunnels
- Clearer operations ownership and fault-isolation boundaries
Cost Advantages over Traditional Point-to-Point Private Lines
Traditional point-to-point circuits are straightforward between two locations, but cost and management complexity rise quickly when sites increase and every pair requires its own circuit. Two offices may be manageable; multiple stores or branches become difficult to control.
Office Connect can plan multi-site interconnection through a more flexible access and routing model, without treating every pair of sites as a separate traditional circuit. For organizations linking headquarters, branches, and stores, the cost structure is usually easier to control.
- Point-to-point alternatives for two locations
- Centralized or many-to-many designs for multiple sites
- Reduces circuit build and maintenance cost for multiple stores
- Architecture can change with site count, bandwidth, and routing requirements
Suitable Enterprise Scenarios
If a branch only connects occasionally, IPsec VPN may be sufficient. When sites access ERP, file servers, NAS, surveillance, POS, or internal services every day, connection stability directly affects operations.
Office Connect suits organizations that need more stability than VPN without taking on the cost of traditional telecom private circuits or the complexity of managing many separate lines.
- Two-office interconnection in Taipei, New Taipei, or Keelung
- Store POS, surveillance, ERP, and headquarters-system connectivity
- Data synchronization between branches and headquarters
- Cross-site NAS, file-service, and internal-application access
- Enterprise voice or surveillance return traffic needing stable low jitter
Availability and Planning
Office Connect can currently be evaluated in Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Keelung. Actual available speed, construction conditions, and delivery depend on address, circuit resources, bandwidth, routing requirements, and number of sites.
For an inquiry, provide each site address, expected bandwidth, static-IP requirement, whether many-to-many communication is needed, primary application traffic, and redundancy needs. Server Plus can help organize a suitable network-access and site-interconnection plan.
FAQ
Can Office Connect point-to-point connectivity replace an IPsec VPN?
It can serve as the main site-interconnection circuit according to requirements. IPsec VPN can remain as backup, but for organizations prioritizing stability, low jitter, and operational control, Office Connect is more suitable than public VPN alone for production traffic.
Is many-to-many connectivity suitable for stores?
Yes. When multiple stores need to return to headquarters or communicate with each other, multi-site connectivity can be planned around site count, bandwidth, and application need, avoiding the cost and complexity of a separate traditional circuit at every site.
Which areas can currently be served?
Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Keelung can currently be evaluated. Actual availability depends on address, circuit resources, construction conditions, and required speed.
