Given that IP has become the 'de facto' protocol for business applications, widespread growth in deploying IP applications is driving unprecedented demand for bandwidth. High-speed access to the Corporate Intranet as well as business-to-business (b2b) extranets to access these applications with varied levels of quality of service is crucial to users.

The need to exchange business critical information over a reliable, cost effective, and secure IP infrastructure has driven demand for a robust national, managed IP VPN solution.

Fibernet has deployed an MPLS IP VPN service benefiting from Cisco Powered Network accreditation to meet these demands.

Fibernet's TANet IP VPN service gives customers a choice. Whether it is a fully Managed service where Fibernet procures, configures, installs, monitors and maintains customer premise equipment as well as the connectivity with the optional choice of Quality of Service profiles OR an unmanaged "Wires only" service – ideal for customer's wishing to manage their own networks or resellers wanting to add value by overlaying management.

Fibernet's Managed IP VPN with QoS offers application prioritisation through the deployment of specific class of service offerings, built as a network-based IP VPN and utilising MPLS technology. Customers can be assured of standards driven compatibility plus the optional added benefits of extended Cisco features. By installing an IP VPN network solution today, customers meet their current complex data telecommunications requirements, move on to a roadmap for convergence and gain compatibility with the business tools of the future.

TANet IP Bespoke

Each business we deal with has its own unique requirements. When those needs dictate unique design and dedicated network resources, our engineers will design a fully bespoke service for you.

Regardless of size or location of enterprise business customers, the basic business driver behind the adoption of VPNs is the same. It is the ability to extend the corporate resources to employees and business partners who are physically located elsewhere so that secure communication, collaboration and e-commerce are more easily and securely facilitated.

A TANet IP Bespoke service may included any or all of the following features:

• Dedicated fibres
• Dedicated equipment
• Jointly agreed service demarcation points
• Dedicated optical capacity
• Equipment co-location
• Private circuits
• Leased lines
• DSL
• and Dialup

Local area networking and IP Telephony equipment may also be included in the inventory and included within the overal managed service contract, reducing the need for in-house network support and smoothing the impact of expensive capital equipment upgrades.

Additional business objectives of a VPN for enterprise business customers are to increase productivity, improve employee satisfaction, decrease costs, improve internal communications, improve vendor relationships, improve customer relationships, increase revenue, and streamline processes.

Although many types of IP VPN platforms are available, MPLS based implementations are becoming the most prevalent for unleashing the true value of IP.

Fibernet IP networks are private, secure, reliable and extremely cost effective.
