MPLS – Multiprotocol Label Switching – Combining Voice, Data and Video with MPLS networking Improves Efficiency and Reduces costs up to 30%!

In today’s competitive, fast-moving environment you depend on your network infrastructure to support your critical business applications. Are you managing multiple networks for voice, data, and video or using legacy network systems such as Frame Relay or ATM, or would you like to add voice capability to your current data communications network?

MPLS, also known as Multiprotocol Label Switching, is a simplified network for the simultaneous transport of multiple applications such as voice, video and data with major performance improvements over your current network(s) AND simultaneous cost savings. MPLS provides Class of Service (CoS) and Quality of Service (QoS) allowing your business to set priorities so real-time applications like voice and video receive priority over applications not requiring real-time handling.

Reasons why businesses are migrating away from Frame Relay, ATM and point to point networks to MPLS in large numbers

• High availability
• High levels of security
• Flexibility of a more efficient manner of tagging and transporting data packets

MPLS provides network convergence, converging traditional telephone point-point and hub-and-spoke private networks into fully meshed IP-based networks. Flexibility, reliability and reduced costs make MPLS the network choice for business today.

How your company benefits from MPLS

• Save on network costs (as well as internal IT cost) by combining multiple networks onto one converged MPLS network
• High speed connectivity with low equipment costs
• Disaster Recovery – the meshed network architecture of MPLS provides inherent disaster recovery automatically
• Faster network performance through reduced latency
• Highly scalable and secure network solutions
  

Features of MPLS

• Quality of Service (QoS) – time sensitive applications are given priority over less critical applications such as email
• Fully Meshed Connectivity – all locations on the network are interconnected allowing applications to flow between each other instead of utilizing a central hub location
• Flexible to your growth – Scalable circuit speeds from 64KBps to GigE, provides a flexible platform for growth at individual locations as needed
• Fits your budget for hardware investment – Available with routers included or “raw” to minimize equipment investment
• Guaranteed performance – Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) are available from most major carriers providing performance guarantees
• MPLS is a packet-switching technology which allows multiple protocols to reside on the same network platform simplifying overall administration and reducing total operational cost.

Examples of companies benefiting from MPLS

1. A Regional business with 2 to 6 locations

MPLS provides the maximum efficiency for your business network. Integrate your voice, data, and internet between locations so customers can talk to anyone in the business, regardless of location, with a single telephone call. Telephone systems can be consolidated for both employee efficiency and reduced costs. Email and database systems are seamless between all business locations and Internet access can be “pooled” to provide not only a lower cost for the business, but increased bandwidth availability across all locations for maximum employee efficiency.

While your organization may not currently have video as part of the network platform, with MPLS, you have the right network in place when the time is right to expand to video conferencing. Bottom line is employee efficiency – providing anytime/anywhere access to critical business applications is the key to improving workforce productivity.

2. National organizations with multiple locations

For large enterprises with multiple locations it is all about employee access to all business systems all the time. MPLS provides the business critical communications link for organization wide voice, video and data communications. MPLS availability nationwide and internationally provides the perfect platform for easy expansion and scalability as needed.

Whether you want to leverage MPLS technology to provide quick and efficient customer service for customers nationwide or real-time data to wherever needed for optimum response time and decision making – MPLS is the secure, scalable, reliable, cost-efficient network to be the backbone for all the network services of your organization.

Why use the OBJ Group to purchase your Integrated Access?

Deciding which MPLS carrier is best for your organization is a critical and often confusing decision. The choice of carrier depends on many factors, including network coverage, features and functions offered, SLA’s and of course, pricing structure and post sales support.
