Private IP VPN Service (MPLS)
By definition, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) supports multiple communication protocols. Essentially, MPLS is a traffic management technique that allows users to prioritize network applications such as voice, data and video to ensure reliable and high-quality transmissions utilizing Internet Protocol (IP). Additionally, MPLS provides customers an all-IP infrastructure (securely separated from public internet traffic) providing direct, fully meshed, connectivity to their disparate geographic locations, a wide range of access speeds, reduced networking costs and the capability to expand as their businesses change and grow.
MPLS works by tagging IP packets with "labels" that specify a route and priority. It combines the scalability and flexibility of routing with the performance and traffic management of layer 2 switching. MPLS supports the same QoS capabilities as IP.
Companies looking to reduce costs, improve QoS, facilitate any-to-any communications and converge several legacy (FR, ATM, IPSEC) and next-generation services on a common infrastructure are taking a hard, serious look at MPLS.
Most analysts agree that IP VPNs using MPLS will be the predominate service in the market for the next ten years. The growing demands of enterprises needing to reduce costs, expand their footprint and ensure security makes MPLS a prime candidate. MPLS provides an economical and flexible alternative to private line connectivity or site-to-site tunnels. In addition, MPLS is easier to manage and maintain.
While nearly every global service provider now offers MPLS-based VPN services, the end-user community, however, is just waking up to the wide ranging benefits of MPLS. As MPLS demand grows, so grows a significant and long-term revenue opportunity for WCS Channel Partners. As many customers are underserved by the carrier community due to mergers, general instability, and reduced resources, WCS and our Channel Partners, present a stable and knowledgeable alternative for securing MPLS migrations. WCS' vast experience and solid carrier relationships guarantee successful design and implementation of MPLS solutions. The result?….a high-margin win for our Channel and significant network improvements and cost reductions for their clients.
WCS offers MPLS service from the following providers: ATT, Qwest, MCI, Global Crossing and Paetec.
