Multi-Protocol Label Switched Virtual Private Network

No business can afford to compromise on network security, and no one wants to sacrifice functionality. Yet, everyone wants to control costs. One sure way for global businesses to achieve this is with Telstra's MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switched) service, which can be used to converge your corporate voice and data on a single, secure, cost-effective IP-based Wide Area Network (WAN).


Key benefits of MPLS

Telstra's Multi-Protocol Label Switched Virtual Private Network (MPLS VPN) service combines the flexible connectivity and scalability of IP with the security, privacy and quality of Frame Relay and ATM. It enables seamless network connectivity between intranets, extranets and remote users. MPLS is automatically configured for any-to-any connectivity, avoiding the need for expensive point-to-point circuits.


Fully managed service

Fully managed Cisco routers are standard. By allowing Telstra to manage your VPN, you ensure your business benefits from the experience and expertise of our specialist security engineers, who monitor your network 24/7 in support of rigorous SLAs.


Network management and reporting

Telstra's unsurpassed online portal, Service Tools, provides sophisticated and detailed reporting on your inventory of Telstra services. It allows you to create and manage support tickets, view your network graphically and even 'drill down' to examine your network traffic in detail (per application, network, IP address).


Quality of Service

Classes of Services enables the prioritisation of network traffic, for example Voice over IP over low priority traffic such as internet browsing. Traffic can also be prioritised based upon its source or destination. Telstra MPLS supports up to 6 Classes of Service (6 CoS).


Resilience

MPLS enables large networks to be simplified by providing an access circuit at each site to a central private network 'cloud', increasing the speed of delivery of all services. Resilience is enhanced as branch offices no longer depend upon the head office for connectivity to other sites.


UK and global availability

Telstra's MPLS service covers the whole of the UK, with an additional presence in over 100 cities around the world. Connection can be via Dial (0800/0845), DSL, Leased Line and Ethernet, at speeds up to 1000Mbps or 1Gbps. Distance-independent circuit pricing makes deploying MPLS across all your sites a cost-effective option.


Flexibility

Because MPLS can combine scalable and feature-rich technology with a highly flexible range of access types customers can more easily match their network requirements to their budget constraints.
