NetworkFlow

The very best Site-to-Site and Multi-Site managed Ethernet service for your organisation.

EnterpriseFlow MPLS is designed for companies that need single point-to-point connections or managed multi-site solutions. EnterpriseFlow can be provided with MPLS QoS, from 8Mb broadband, to speeds in excess of 1Gbps. We can also supply managed MPLS networks with varying speeds at different sites with full SLAs.

What is MPLS?

Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) gives you the ability to transmit different types of data whilst prioritising them according to the importance of speed of delivery.

At NetworkFlow, we have an MPLS core on our network and can therefore provide secure MPLS services cost-effectively to both small and large organisations. Our MPLS service is particularly useful for customers wanting to implement VoIP solutions or wishing to separate mission-critical data, such as CRM and ERP systems, from internet traffic and email.

Key Features of EnterpriseFlow MPLS from NetworkFlow:

• MPLS available on broadband up to multi-gigabit
• 5 levels of Quality of Service (QoS) as standard – no ‘premium QoS’ charges
• Regional pricing structure - the best prices for your area for each circuit
• MPLS resilience available using separate carriers with diverse routing
• Multiple IP addressing
• Managed Cisco routers
• 99.99% Service Level Agreement (SLA) covering the whole network
• 24x7 monitoring and support
• Customer usage and monitoring package available
• Internet access also available on MPLS through core gateway
• Remote users networked cost-effectively using broadband MPLS

The Key Benefits:

Improved uptime (from ultra-fast re-routing)

If a major link within the MPLS network goes down and an alternative path exists, traffic can be re-routed in less than 50 milliseconds. You wouldn’t notice a thing as the network detects and works around the problem.

Cost-effective, scalable IP VPNs

MPLS networks make it far simpler to set up a scalable network and add new sites. No need for additional hardware such as expensive firewalls, just standard routers.

Improved experience from your network

Customer-defined prioritised classes of traffic can be applied to your MPLS network. Time-sensitive data is assigned priority over delay tolerant data. For example, if inbound traffic to your head office from remote sites uses up your bandwidth, the traffic is prioritised in accordance to your personal settings, e.g. phone calls might be prioritised over web traffic, which might be prioritised over email etc.

Greater bandwidth utilisation within the MPLS network

The traditional way of ensuring service quality within the WAN is to create virtual circuits dedicated solely to streams of delay-sensitive traffic. This is not ideal as these circuits are mostly under utilised. EnterpriseFlow MPLS from NetworkFlow is a far better way of achieving the same quality, as bandwidth can be used by other services when the higher priority services don’t need it.

Multiple sites connected as if on the same LAN

This means that your Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds offices are as easy to connect into the LAN in your London office as the three PCs in the office down the corridor.

Quicker & easier service provision and upgrades

With EnterpriseFlow MPLS there is no need to manually set up routing at every hop through the core network. This can dramatically reduce the lead-time between placing your order or upgrade and it being delivered.

Reduced network congestion

Congestion in your network can mean that the best path for data to be sent along may not necessarily be the shortest. EnterpriseFlow MPLS from NetworkFlow offers sophisticated Traffic Engineering options that enable data to be sent along atypical paths, bypassing congested areas of the network.
