XO Communications Launches Carrier-Grade MPLS IP-VPN
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) HERNDON, VA, January 7 / MARKET WIRE/ --
XO Communications (OTCBB: XOHO) today announced
the launch of XO Carrier MPLS IP-VPN, a wide area networking service
engineered to meet the needs of current and future carrier customers.
Designed to deliver secure, multi-point IP transport of VoIP, video, data
applications and "in the cloud" computing services over one network,
Carrier MPLS IP-VPN is the optimal solution for customers looking to extend
their network with the latest and most efficient, cost-effective networking
technology.
In addition to offering the standard IP-VPN services such as Class of
Service (CoS) traffic routing, the carrier-specific product provides
customers with:
-- Multiple VPN support across the same interface (up to 10Gbps);
-- The ability to create global private networks through an inbound
Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) with U.S. termination;
-- Access to XO's Web Portal for service level monitoring and review of
usage reports 24/7; and
-- A management VPN feature that enables Carrier customers to provide
their end-users with value-added services.
"The services provided through our Carrier MPLS IP-VPN offering demonstrate
XO's commitment to creating value-added products for carrier customers,"
said Don MacNeil, vice president of XO Carrier Services Operations. "Rather
than simply repackaging our MPLS IP-VPN business solution for wholesale,
we've added strategic options that allow carriers to use proven,
cost-effective solutions for network growth, management and security."
Specifically, XO Carrier MPLS IP-VPN can help international service
providers expand their footprint; systems integrators better manage
networks for end-users; and content providers securely route content
between multiple locations. Moreover, the product offers carriers multiple
access options, including Ethernet over copper, and is supported by
dedicated carrier provisioning and care groups.
XO Carrier MPLS IP-VPN is also designed to support customers looking to
migrate away from legacy Frame and ATM networks to IP-based communications
infrastructures. Using the solution, carriers can integrate clients'
varying traffic types from existing legacy networks onto one network,
facilitating the transition to a single, converged IP communications
strategy.
"XO was a pioneer in delivering IP services and has built on this expertise
to provide an MPLS IP-VPN platform that wholesale customers can depend upon
for the reliable, secure transport of their customers' voice and data
traffic," said Cindy Whelan, Principal Analyst, Current Analysis.
"Enterprise demand for MPLS IP-VPN services will continue to grow, and XO's
Carrier MPLS IP-VPN offers the flexibility in access methods, high-capacity
interfaces, service quality assurances and network management tools that
carriers need to deliver a first-rate MPLS IP-VPN service to their
end-users."
XO Carrier MPLS IP-VPN Features
XO Carrier MPLS IP-VPN enables customers to offer prioritization of
mission-critical traffic such as voice, video and data applications over
non-urgent traffic types such as e-mail and Web browsing. By prioritizing
traffic, clients can safeguard high-priority traffic over low-priority
traffic, while not having to increase bandwidth purely to support
non-critical applications.
The service also allows for allocating bandwidth and prioritizing
applications. What's more, any class of service can utilize up to the full
available bandwidth without incurring additional charges. Carrier MPLS
IP-VPN offers four classes of service:
-- Real Time CoS -- for applications that are very sensitive to latency
and jitter, such as VoIP.
-- Critical CoS -- for applications that can withstand higher latency and
jitter, but still need guarantees on both delay and jitter such as video
applications.
-- Priority CoS -- for applications which need to take priority, but are
not susceptible to variations in latency or jitter such as database
applications.
-- Standard CoS -- for applications which can withstand moderate to high
variations in latency or jitter such as e-mail and Web browsing.
