Business Private Networks 
For every secure multi site solution Clarkson McLaren can provide the best quality alternatives using the latest technologies and premium last mile access. Organisations which require branch offices and remote workers to all work together securely can take advantage of a VPN based solution and also add in robust security which is equal to a closed LAN environment.
Clarkson McLaren can provide these solutions and alternatives utilising MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) which is a private IP VPN combining the flexible any-to-any communication found on PSTN or Internet with the reliability, quality and security delivered via private lines, Frame Relay or ATM services.
MPLS offers differentiated performance levels and prioritisation of delay and non-delay sensitive traffic as well as voice and multimedia applications – all one a single network. A range of management options are available including supply and management of Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), providing the customer with a fully managed solution.
The main advantages of MPLS are:-
• High-performance packet switching along pre-determined paths
• It is independent of the underlying OSI layer 2 connectivity
• Highly scaleable allowing easy network expansion
• Customer VPN traffic segregated from others by the use of unique Route Distinguishers
• Customers can retain their existing IP address scheme
