5 Direct Links from T-Systems. T-Systems Direct Links include a variety of services, from standard to specialized access and connectivity solutions. The portfolio ranges from cost-effective point-to-point connections to high-end solutions, for example, data center connections and high-speed-bandwidth connectivity. Technologies, pricing and service models and availability can be combined in a variety of ways. Direct Links compared to VPN services. We offer three solutions to meet diverse customer requirements. Data line (layer1) Layer-2-VPN Site-to-site connections classic data line Ethernet VPN (native) ATM / FrameRelay Implementation logic Dedicated end-to-end Non-IP Shared via a fixed carrier network DNL Carrier VPN Carrier network IP-VPN (layer3) Internet-VPN (layer3) IntraSelect xdsl (+ IP-Sec) Shared via the Internet Internet VPN Internet Why T-Systems? MEF Metro Ethernet Forum. Expert monitoring and troubleshooting by multiple international network management centers Professional, expert approach to design and operations Extensive experience as a network operator and integrator Technology skills and strong partnerships with manufacturers of network infrastructures International availability combined with excellent Germany-wide coverage Reliable service an extensive service network guarantees high availability Site-to-site connections possible outside the existing telecommunications infrastructure Deployment of proven processes and methodologies to support the plan, build, run approach Best possible value for money Founded in 2001, the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) aims to accelerate the worldwide implementation of carrier-class Ethernet networks and services. MEF defines specifications for WAN services that already exist in the LAN space. These Ethernet services include point-to-point and multipoint-tomultipoint configurations, LAN services over VLANs, local networks over MPLS and LAN over IP. MEF has defined Layer 2 services for VPNs: E-Line to support point-to-point VPNs, E-Tree for point-to-multipoint connections and E-LAN for multipoint-to-multipoint VPNs. T-Systems Ethernet VPN solution portfolio complies with MEF standards.

6 Alternatives to Direct Links. IP VPN. The IP VPN solution IntraSelect is based on a T-Systems IP network for voice, data, multimedia and business applications. This Layer-3 platform delivers a host of additional functionality out-of-the-box, such as extranet, dial-in / RAS dial-in and security solutions. IntraSelect is the ideal solution for companies looking to source frequently used services from a shared platform in a straightforward way. Ethernet VPN. Ethernet VPN provides high-performance, secure connections for LAN-to- LAN links, for example between company divisions, data centers or telecommunications systems and of IT systems to SANs (storage area networks). This technology can also be used for international site-to-site connections. Companies can operate their Ethernet VPNs themselves and keep control over IP routers and IP addresses. Ethernet VPN offers the flexibility of high bandwidths up to several gigabytes per second, supports the prioritization of data traffic and can be implemented for diverse network topologies.
