The VPLS/MPLS Advantage Virtual Private LAN Service/ Multiprotocol Label Switching Simplicity and operational efficiency VPLS works over Layer 2, linking sites across many geographical locations, as if they were on the same Local Area Network. This simplification of the Network Architecture allows increased flexibility in management and improved efficiency in monitoring. For VPLS to work, it is implemented over an MPLS enabled network. The Network which is created is in effect a completely private cloud. Virtual LANs are enabled between sites, connecting all locations, facilitated using a variety of connectivity methods. This results in the appearance of all services running on the same LAN, irrespective of location. Convergence of services is enabled over a single access circuit, with enhanced built-in resilience from adding circuits to one or more sites all without any requirement for downtime. Voice, videoconferencing and data can all have allocations with QoS enabled over the network. Talk Straight s core network ensures that the service is monitored proactively and the quality is first rate. 25/50/100/200 Gigabit Next Generation Ethernet VLAN VLAN VLAN VLAN VOICE INTERNET CLOUD WAN With service-oriented architecture, customers can plug and play with data, voice, security and cloud, using VPLS as a building block to converge customers services on to the Talk Straight network. By delivering this simplicity, together with economy of scale, we enable operational efficiencies, security separation and Quality of Service (QoS) allowing organisations to focus on getting a higher return on their investment. Benefits of a VPLS based network VPLS delivers simplified network management with core routing remaining on the Talk Straight network, invisible to the customer. It offers: Reduced complexity and lower latency Convergence of voice and data networks, including over multiple VPLS connections Lower costs, simplified administration and easy network planning and expansion End-to-End QoS, 6 classes of service and intelligent distribution of bandwidth Simplified control of IPs Full monitoring and visibility 06 Talk Straight: The straight talking telecoms people
