"CPN - Customer Premise Network"  A CPN 
					(Customer-premises-network) is equipment and infrastructure 
					which is located on the customer site.  CPE (Customer 
					Premise Equipment) is the equipment which is located and 
					functions within the CPN.  CPE is also often mis-used 
					by vendors which utilize it as a reference to Customer 
					Provided Equipment.  Customer-provided equipment (CPE), 
					by their definition, 
					is any products, technology and associated equipment which 
					is located 
					at a customers premises, is part of an existing working 
					solution and is not slated to be replaced in the course of a 
					project or sale.  
					Another mis-use of vendors was the generalization that CPN 
					networks could also be called Local Area Networks (LAN).  
					Local Area Networks is a topology designation and not an 
					equipment classification.
							
							
We use a proprietary industry software that requires that we have our servers local in our office. We never understood before how important it is for our technology providers to be aware of having both cloud and local networks and how to bridge them!
