The Sprint multi protocol label switching (MPLS) service is a collective business tool that is geared towards helping you increase your network visibility on the web. Sprint’s VPN lets you set up a virtual private network designed to help you send a combination of voice, data, and video packets through a dedicated infrastructure that is guaranteed to maintain the quality of information you send out throughout your network.
This network is tailor-made for wide area commercial demands because Sprint ensures that you can channel a variety of traffic from end-to-end, with limited loss in the data’s structural integrity. What this means is that if you need to transmit bandwidth-critical data, you will have a network backbone that will help you do so efficiently.
What can Sprint do for You?
Sprint’s VPN eliminates your need for large-scale system administration, even if you have to work with a complicated network. This is due to several factors; first – and foremost – the technology’s overhead is relatively cheap. It takes very little capital to develop and maintain a MPLS network, both for you and for Sprint. Secondly, the maintenance of the system is handled by Sprint’s very own team of outsourced professionals who take care of the day-to-day tweaking and systems analysis of the equipment required to keep the network running smoothly.
Sprint’s MPLS is also one of the most flexible networks in the industry today. It provides you with the opportunity to allow multiple local access support and systems routing if necessary. And the best part is, the rate of transfer throughout all of these access points is real-time and carried out through an isolated protocol. This means that your data is protected from – and invisible to – the rest of the public Internet, except where you need it to be visible.
The service is cost-effective as well; you can choose from a bare-bones package or select from a series of services designed to increase the integrity and efficiency of your network. Such examples of these are Sprint’s very own network-based firewall, a user-defined remote access service, and the creation of wireless access points. The consistent performance of the Sprint system is backed up by service level agreements, at no extra charge.
The Sprint quality of service
All data transferred throughout Sprint’s network set-up is segmented and passes through a series of routers using the MPLS protocol. The data is private and masked; guaranteeing all of the data you send through these lines is safe from unauthorized entities.
You are also warranted flexible speeds from traditional dial-up 64kbps to 1000Mbps, with a quality of service assurance that your network detects and prioritizes without interfering with functions of a lesser priority such as e-mail services and standard web browsing.
Working with an international WAN? No problem: Sprint’s service supports up to four multiple routing protocols and utilizes a simplified migration path that can reach off-net locales. And should anything go wrong in any of your off-shore access points, Sprint provides internal technical support in more than thirty countries.
