Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a network protocol used in high performance wide area data networks.  It marks the data packets with virtual labels, which are then used to move the data from one network node to another.  This provides an extremely efficient and secure method of routing data on a private customer network protected from the Internet.  This removes the need for local router configuration and the subsequent encryption which is required for secure transmission of data over the Internet when using Virtual Private Networks.

In an MPLS network the forwarding decision is based on the label rather that the full IP address look up, making for a fast and efficient multi-site data networking solution.

MPLS is a centrally managed and configured solution, with very high levels of security whilst at the same time reducing the overall cost of ownership.  As there is no complex configuration required on the customer router this removes the need for expensive equipment and ongoing complex IT management at each site.

Businesses…

…still using legacy connectivity services such as point to point leased lines and looking for a more efficient, cost effective and scalable performance solution.

…currently using Virtual Private Networks over the public Internet but now looking to provide greater control of data applications with network Service Level Agreements and Quality of Service only available on a secure privately networked solution.

…looking to run multi-media services and converge voice and data on to a single network with assurances that this sensitive data traffic will be given priority end to end, to ensure call quality.

…looking for a secure private network at a realistic price point.

…looking to use centrally provided application resources e.g. CRM, file sharing, etc with no drop in performance.

…looking to move applications and services to the Cloud e.g. Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure and require a secure dedicated connection.

As a leading Internet Service Provider we are able to offer a wide range of data connectivity options from ADSL broadband through to Fibre Ethernet depending on each sites budget, uptime requirement, application capacity, prioritisation etc.
