SmartCOMM™ MPLS IP-VPN
Grid4′s MPLS IP-VPN service allows businesses with multiple locations to maintain private communications between locations. MPLS also allows for site-to-site traffic as well as access to the Internet from every site.
Grid4’s MPLS IP-VPN is a network-based, MPLS-enabled Wide Area Network (WAN) solution that offers multi-site businesses more efficiently allocated bandwidth, increased security, faster application deployment, lower network operating costs, and more access options than traditional WAN service providers.
Today’s businesses are looking to leverage the capabilities of IP networks to interconnect offices simply and efficiently. Businesses can now converge multiple network types into a MPLS-enabled IP-VPN, allowing them to use a single network to support their voice, data and other advanced applications. MPLS provides the backbone for a highly secure and reliable network that can connect your corporate headquarters, data centers, branch offices and mobile workers to each other and to the applications they need to maximize productivity.
To be effective, employees need access to your mission-critical applications while working from home, from the office and while on the road. MPLS IP-VPN helps you stay connected while delivering the performance your applications need. Because IP-VPN services from Grid4 work with technologies from multiple vendors, you can incorporate your legacy infrastructure and applications into your IP-VPN-based network. This means you can build a high-performance network while protecting your investment in your current IT infrastructure.
Hosted Firewall
Grid4 also provides the ability to host your firewall in our network core, which removes bottlenecks and allows all locations to fully utilize their available bandwidth. Grid4’s network is designed from the ground up to support the prioritization of voice and video services which are critical in today’s converged networks.
Features & Benefits
Designed with security in mind
Each private network is kept from general Internet traffic which allows for centralized control of an organization’s Internet access policies. A hosted firewall gains the protection of being in a secure, state-of-the-art data center with redundant power.
Service flexibility
Class of Service (CoS) provides value-added services such as secure Internet access, remote user access and extranet connectivity on a single network infrastructure. Unified communications among all locations with MPLS provides any-to-any connectivity with a robust network architecture.
Optional management capabilities
Managed and unmanaged options provides you with the level of strategic control you require.
Cost effectiveness
Grid4 provides a cost-effective solution with simple billing components. Port and access are the only required components for a fully meshed MPLS IP-VPN network.
Class of Service
Supports four Classes of Service (CoS) required for real-time applications such as voice (VoIP) with optimization of all types of applications for traffic prioritization.
Scalability
Provides the ability to quickly add, move or change sites to a fully meshed network without having to reconfigure customer premise equipment, because complex routing is handled in the carrier cloud.
