Designed to run over its global optical network backbone, Global Crossing IP VPN services launching this week aim to deliver content-rich multimedia services through a single connection, says the company.
This suite of capabilities is designed to meet the specific communications and collaboration demands of global enterprises and service providers with unprecedented reach and flexibility.
IP VPNs (Internet Protocol Virtual Private Networks) provide the performance and security of private networks while capitalizing on the flexibility, scalability and economics available only in a shared network environment. Global Crossing offers a truly converged end-to-end IP VPN solution for corporations worldwide, integrating video, voice and data services, and supporting industry-specific community extranets.
The service is delivered over the company's fiber optic network, and service intelligence and functionality are built into the network, reducing complexity while maximizing performance
Users can modify their IP VPN service configurations to quickly integrate or eliminate locations, as business needs change.
"The Global Crossing IP VPN Service is the keystone of our vision to manage end-to-end solutions enabling our customers to deploy the latest applications, reach new markets, extend their reach and simplify their network operations, all of which add up to dramatically improved business efficiencies" according to John Legere, chief executive officer, Global Crossing.
