Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the fastest growing wide area networking (WAN) technology and is widely used by leading carriers around the world. That's because it provides the performance and privacy of legacy WAN technologies combined with the flexibility and cost advantages of packet-based IP networks, like the Internet. So, if you're looking to augment or replace your legacy WAN with one that can support new applications and deliver more value, you should consider an MPLS private network.

Viewqwest's MPLS VPN service delivers the premium performance and privacy that are essential for any mission-critical enterprise network, with greater flexibility and savings than any service in its class. Our wide selection of access technologies allows us to offer the 'best fit' and lowest cost connectivity for each site. Using diverse access technologies and providers also enables us to provide various redundancy options and adapt your network as your traffic patterns change over time. And, by leveraging the enhanced performance and QoS functionality of our MPLS network, we can tailor a solution to handle all of your IP data and voice communications requirements.

As a component of our Managed VPN portfolio, this service can be combined with other Viewqwest site-to-site and remote access VPN and security services to create a complete enterprise-wide solution.

Network Performance Starts In The Core

As with any WAN solution, the strength of Viewqwest's MPLS VPN service starts with the underlying core network - and, Viewqwest's MPLS network is engineered to outperform all others. Redundant OCx links and a fault tolerant POP architecture ensure maximum uptime and reliability, and state-of-the-art MPLS routing technology from Juniper delivers your data with exceptionally low latency and packet loss. This advanced technology enables your data to traverse the entire network in a single "hop," eliminating the performance degradation and loss associated with memory-intensive routing decisions. MPLS routing also creates a fully meshed network architecture with multiple paths between any two sites (versus a hub-and-spoke topology) and automatically forwards your data via the optimal path. So, your traffic gets delivered fast, without any bottlenecks or single points of failure.

Convergence Creates Value

In addition to the performance benefits, our MPLS routing technology also enables Viewqwest to create separate label switched paths reserved for performance sensitive applications, like Voice Over IP (VoIP). By prioritizing different types of traffic on your customer premise routers and across our MPLS network, we can engineer a solution to converge all of your applications without compromising performance. This means you no longer have to incur the costs of deploying and managing separate networks for each application - all of your voice and data communications share a single, cost-effective WAN infrastructure.

Simple, Easy and Fully Managed

Since Viewqwest's MPLS VPN service is a managed network-based solution, you don't have to hassle with encryption devices and complex routing schemes that make a Do-It-Yourself VPN so complicated and time-consuming. We take care of everything from initial design and deployment to 24/7 monitoring and customer support. Our skilled engineers and field technicians will configure your CPE, install it at your locations, provision all necessary circuits and ensure that your entire MPLS network is implemented correctly and on time. Once your service is up and running, our NOC technicians will proactively monitor your MPLS connections and CPE, so if there's ever an issue they can diagnose and resolve it quickly to minimize any service impact. We'll even repair or replace any non-operational CPE on-site, as a part of our Managed CPE service. And, to demonstrate our commitment, we guarantee the performance of our MPLS Private Network service with a comprehensive set of end-to-end Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

In summary, Viewqwest's MPLS Private Network service delivers an unmatched combination of performance, privacy and flexibility that make it the best solution for augmenting or replacing your legacy frame relay or ATM WAN.

Privacy - MPLS routing technology provides network privacy comparable to lease lines or ATM. By using only private IP address space and private routing domains, Viewqwest can ensure that your mission critical traffic is segregated from any other enterprise or public Internet traffic.

Performance - Viewqwest's MPLS network uses labeled switched paths instead of traditional IP routing, so customer traffic traverses the network with minimal delay and packet loss. This is ideal for customers with performance-sensitive applications, such as VoIP and videoconferencing.

Flexibility - Viewqwest's wide selection of access technologies and providers allows us to tailor a solution that best fits each site's specific bandwidth and redundancy requirements. We can also seamlessly integrate other site-to-site and remote access VPN and security services to tailor a solution that addresses all of your communication requirements.
