A professional company supplying business critical dedicated leased lines to companies nationwide. Some recognise that standard ADSL broadband connections without any kind of Service Level Agreement pose significant risk to the continuity of their business. Others see that sharing bandwidth with many other commercial and even residential users compromises reliability and can lead to performance fluctuation, whilst the consequence of losing connectivity altogether for perhaps 48 hours is something they would rather not think about. Others simply recognise the demand for a more substantial network infrastructure if they are to ensure continued quality of service within their business.
Leased lines are the suitable option for any business that is heavily dependent on reliable connectivity, requires continuous and fast Internet access or needs to run critical applications such as Citrix, Terminal Services, Video Conferencing and Voice-over-IP.
Ethernet and Leased Line Connections
Our leased line and Ethernet services provide customers with dedicated business-class Internet access at speeds up to 1Gbps. Leased lines provide un-contended Internet access for organisations that need dependable connectivity to allow business processes to take place over a distributed network infrastructure. Our consultants have many years’ experience of designing and managing large-scale WAN infrastructure and will look carefully at your requirements before choosing the most suitable partner.
With speeds from 10Mbps to 1000Mbps, and with pricing starting at what you would expect to pay for 2Mbps our leased line services provide the best performance and reliability for your money.
BT 21CN......What is it?
BT21CN is the name given to BT’s next generation network programme, under which it is creating an IP-based national fibre network to enable communication in a range of formats and support the demand for voice and data convergence. BT21CN enables ISPs to provide faster and more stable broadband at ADSL2+ speeds.
Why is it needed?
As telecommunications evolved in the UK, BT deployed a number of disparate and unconnected networks to provide a range of services - from basic telephony to complex Internet connectivity. This approach inevitably left BT with a number of issues when looking to provide the next generation of high speed data connectivity. Its technical experts therefore proposed a radical replacement programme that takes the network to a single unified core.
Under its 21CN strategy, by 2012 BT is replacing traditional concentrators, switching equipment and DSLAMs at exchanges with MSANs (Multi-Service Access Nodes). The 5,500 MSANs terminate all phone and broadband connections and link into over 100 ‘Metro nodes’ where IP packets are routed and switched. The Metro nodes then link to 20 core nodes that are able to handle traffic in multiples of 10Gbps.
VPLS - Easier to run, cheaper to manage, scalable WAN's
Envisage a service-oriented wide-area network that eliminates costly duplication but which flexes and scales with your business as it evolves – with you in total control…
Imagine hosting services centrally, from a single, high-speed platform backed up with service or site-specific performance guarantees. Visualise a multi-site any-to-any WAN needing just one connection per site.
Ethernet layer 2 VPLS Wide Area Networking does exactly that. By using a simplfied Ethernet architecture VPLS minimises management costs while allowing total control end-to-end on the network.
Always best of breed
Our independent approach to the market allows us to take advantage of technological advances and seek the best product for your needs. Whether linking multiple sites over VPLS, MPLS or IPSEC VPN through strategic partnerships we can offer competitive services backed up by the highest quality technical support.
