MPLS

Benefits of a private MPLS networkOptimising customer experience is front of mind for every business. To maximise efficiencies and grow, you need a network that easily supports your expansion plans, handles growth in bandwidth and can meet the demands of global connectivity.

Using Continent 8’s managed and owned Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure, you can connect sites and services with different bandwidth requirements in order to create a scalable, secure, and reliable IP Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Key benefits of an MPLS service are:

• High level of resilience• Multiple peering capabilities;

internet border management• Any to Any Connectivity; no fixed

links required• Optimal support for convergence;

5 Class Of Service (COS) capability• Privacy and Security; a dedicated and protected private network• End to End SLA and Packet Delivery assurance; enforced from the network edges provided• Increased cost effectiveness; reduce VPN provision equipment and supplier costs• Greater Scalability and Flexibility; select required bandwidth at all points• Non registered, private addresses; segment front and back end operations easily

How it worksMPLS is a data-carrying technique for high- performance telecommunications networks. It directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table.

Across Continent 8’s global network and through the relationships with the world’s largest Tier-1 providers Continent 8 can ‘build’ private MPLS networks, either point to point (where there are two endpoints), or multi-point where more than 2 sites need to be able to exchange data. The result is a private, secure, reliable, flexible, highly scalable and cost effective solution to global business connectivity.

Why use Continent 8 for MPLS services?We have almost 20 years’ experience in designing, running and managing global IP networks for leading organisations, around the globe.

From consultation through design assistance and implementation, Continent 8 can provide a Secure MPLS Network Service which has been designed to support converged multimedia services such as video and voice while facilitating efficient communication with your colleagues, partners and suppliers via intranets and extranets.

In addition, Continent 8 supports an end-to-end MPLS service across over 25 locations covering 3 continents. Coupled with a range of hosting services, this network facilitates flexibility in terms of front-end service placement, disaster recovery topologies, and the ability to build a low risk flexible business strategy for the future.

Take advantage of global scale • Global connectivity. Directly connect in more than 25 locations across North America, Europe

and Asia• Visibility and Control. Gain real-time visibility of end-to-end network performance metrics

including application usage. Quickly scale bandwidth to meet fluctuating traffic demands.• Multi-service ports. Support multiple services (e.g., voice, internet) on a single VPN port and

access circuit to reduce costs and allocate bandwidth.• Advanced MPLS/IP VPN capabilities. Employ proactive network monitoring included with the

service at no additional cost. Multicast and multiple VPNs available on a single port simplify management, implementation and administration.

• End-to-End Service Level Guarantees. Add enhanced reporting capabilities to detail key data performance metrics for latency, data delivery and jitter.

• Bundle with Level 3 Managed Network and Security Services. Improve overall cost and operational efficiencies via turnkey management.
