- Integrated MPLS Network Solution Links Multi-location Enterprises
- LAS VEGAS, March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- BellSouth (NYSE:BLS)
announced today that it has launched a nationwide data service for
businesses. BellSouth(R) Managed Network VPN service utilizes the
security and flexibility of MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)
to allow internetworking of multiple access methods across carrier
networks for a consistent customer experience in any service
location. Many businesses have the challenge of linking multiple
office facilities that are broadly distributed throughout the
country to corporate resources. Each location often has specific
network access requirements and, in the past, companies have had to
self-integrate and manage these disparate networks across the
organization. Customers also had to purchase more costly point-to-
point circuits or rely on a hub and spoke architecture that routed
all traffic between outlying locations back through headquarters
sites. BellSouth's nationwide service provides a managed
network-based solution for all of the customer's service locations.
The MPLS-based IP routing of BellSouth Managed Network VPN creates
a full mesh data network, allowing each customer site to cost
effectively communicate directly with any of the other locations
and conserving headquarters bandwidth for corporate functions.
"BellSouth has responded to customer demands and has extended its
premium networking service to better meet the needs of national
enterprise customers," said Lee Priest, vice president -- business
marketing, BellSouth. "Based on our research, BellSouth Managed
Network VPN is the only solution on the market that combines MPLS,
Class of Service offerings and proactive service level agreements."
Class of Service routing paves the way for additional convergence
by allowing enterprises to assign higher priority to voice over IP,
video and imaging applications. With a variety of voice and data
applications riding alongside each other, it is crucial to have a
network that identifies and differentiates traffic types. BellSouth
Managed Network VPN customers can designate traffic into four
different classes: real-time, interactive, priority business and
best effort. Real-time and interactive classes are suitable for
applications that have a low tolerance for delays, such as voice
and video. Priority business and best effort are used to
distinguish higher priority business data from non-critical
applications such as email and general Web surfing. For more
