MPLS

MPLS or multi protocol label switching is a service that is ideal for linking offices that are spread across the world for a variety of applications. Claranet's MPLS service is called VPN:ng, Virtual Private Network: Next Generation.

Claranet's MPLS network incorporates application Quality of Service features and a Traffic Engineering layer built within the foundations of the network. This ensures your critical applications receive the resources they demand by prioritising different types of data packets according to the importance of speed of delivery. For example, real-time applications such as video conferencing will be given priority over email traffic, ensuring that the user does not experience any loss of quality or latency in the video data stream.

To get clear visibility of the traffic on your network, you might consider network performance reporting with ClaraCare Vision.

Claranet works with you at every stage from design, through implementation, testing, management and change. Claranet's advantage is its experience and persistent focus on customer satisfaction.
