BT MPLS supports applications that cross geographic and company boundaries in the form of intranets, extranets and, in the future, community of interest networks (COINs). BT MPLS offers:
- Flexibility - In today's fast-paced business environment, your company needs to be able to respond quickly to change. BT's MPLS solution can help you keep pace. With BT MPLS, you can easily deploy new applications on your network to support changing business needs. At the same time we offer rapid configuration and provisioning so as your organisation grows or you add or move international locations, you can do so quickly and easily. And, when combined with BT's broad portfolio of IP and networking services, BT MPLS enables you to tailor and enhance your global network to suit varying application requirements.
- Global Availability - BT MPLS is a truly global service, providing coverage and support to over 70 countries from over 1000 PoPs. Customer support is provided 24 hours per day x 7 days per week with consistent service surround including local language and "feet-on-the-street" support in each location, plus a single point of contact for provisioning and troubleshooting.
- Performance - Not all of your network traffic is likely to be equally time-sensitive. Real-time and mission critical applications might need priority over web surfing traffic, or possibly web-based applications are an essential part of operations. BT's MPLS enables the consolidation of all of your applications onto a single network while prioritisation of traffic into different Application Classes, optimising network usage for the types of applications you are running.
- Single Network, Single Source - As end to end, fully managed service from BT, we can help you realise cost savings by relieving you of network management expense and headache.
- Security and Reliability - BT MPLS is a secure service, utilising leading edge IP and MPLS technology to isolate packets on the network - your data remains confidential and your network is protected from outside intrusion. Network traffic is monitored and proactively managed, enabling us to back the service with industry-leading, comprehensive Service Level Guarantees. In the future, BT MPLS will offer the ability to link to other VPNs on the BT MPLS network, providing a comprehensive solution for Extranets and COINs.
- Consultancy - Optimising an IP VPN Service can be challenging. Matching applications with the class of service requirements, defining and optimising the routing protocol architecture, migrating from Data Networks and troubleshooting inter-working problems can all add to the complexity. BTexact can assist customers with its extensive in-depth expertise in MPLS VPNs and IP VPN Class of Service. BT exact offers customers pre implementation design guidance, migration planning and detailed service specification.
