Private Networks (IP VPN)

Multi Site Services

For every secure multi site solution CMCC 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.

CMCC 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

IP VPN – Multi Site Solutions. The key strength of the CMCC IP VPN service is its flexibility. It offers a range of benefits for a wide variety of businesses. The service carries any type of traffic, in IP format. It prioritises time sensitive or business-critical data over non-urgent data, in other words it offers different Qualities of Service (QoS) to different types of traffic.

The service is scalable for different network sizes and different numbers of users, and it’s simple to add new sites or extra bandwidth as the demands on the network change.

Each site is automatically connected to all the others (meshed network topography). It simplifies network management for CMCC clients, reducing costs. There is an optional connection to the Internet, protected by a firewall.
