Boost your application performance and enable convergence.

– A letter from the executive office

Upgrade a voice call to video, multicast rich media to the entire organization or find out whether colleagues are available before you pick up the phone – these are just some of the options open to organizations that have made the move to multi-protocol layer switching (MPLS) – a layer 3 IP data transfer protocol that is quickly becoming an enterprise standard.

If you are beginning to find the business advantages of convergent communications irresistible, it could be time to change over to MPLS. New applications can save money and enhance productivity, but taking full advantage of them means increased throughput, any-to-any connectivity and Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization – a good summary of what MPLS delivers.

The advantages of the technology don’t end there. Since MPLS is a managed solution running on shared infrastructure, you’ll find that capital investments and upgrade requirements decrease while the IT team is freed up to concentrate on core business. What’s more, the any-to-any connectivity that comes with MPLS facilitates scalability: you can add or remove nodes on the network quickly and with minimal configuration.

Find out how ripe your organization is for the benefits of MPLS with our MPLS readiness assessment, read our in-depth article on how MPLS works or explore the top applications that MPLS technology makes possible in our top 5 MPLS applications article.
