The Benefits of an MPLS Network
With MPLS you can connect remote offices, mobile users or
partner extranets, reliably and securely.
Plus, MPLS is scalable for your growing business letting
your business run at its full potential.
Benefits
- Reduces costs by eliminating need to purchase/manage
multiple PVCs
- Eases network management costs by handling routing and
value-added services in the network and eliminating CPE
requirements
- Provides flexibility adding or changing locations by
simplifying the process of integrating the new location
into the meshed network

MPLS VPNs provide any-to-any connectivity and traffic
segmentation. A complete MPLS solution should have:
- Service flexibility
- Security
- Class of Service (CoS)
- Committed performance levels (SLAs) with real service
credits
- Cost effectiveness
- A highly scaleable, standards-compliant, secure MPLS
solution that supports convergence of voice, video and data
traffic onto one network platform
- Industry leading SLA's
The benefits of the MPLS network probably
cannot be overstated and are several.
To begin with, putting in an MPLS network can allow your
business to realize some pretty good cost savings over its
rivals such as the state-of-the-art-for-WAN time frame relays
and ATMs, especially as video and sound grow in importance to
your business.
Depending on a handful of factors, your savings can be
anywhere from 10% to 40%.
Of course, at this stage of the MPLS game you will want to
analyze ROI and ease (or lack thereof) of installation and
implementation to see if an MPLS network would work to your
advantage, but we all know how technology progresses, and there
is no reason to believe that MPLS won't be made even more
efficient and cost-effective to get up and running over the
next year to two years.
QoS (quality of service) is all-important to your business,
especially if you are beginning to rely more heavily on
audio-visual Internet transmissions that are getting more
elaborate and complex.
MPLS has long sine proven itself to be a powerful
enhancement of QoS. Likewise, an MPLS network simply improves
your programs and applications performances, both on your
clients' end and your own.
The greater the ease and efficiency of the information flow,
the greater the communication which is the core of successful
business qualities.
In order to rightly consider whether or not your ROI would
justify getting your business hooked up with an MPLS network
right now, you need to carefully scrutinize what kind of data
you are transporting right now and what kind of data you want
or expect to be transporting in about two or three years from
now.
Keep in mind that two of the most-enhanced applications that
MPLS provides for are VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and
audio-visual click-on embedded advertising, both of which are
soaring upward quickly in importance.
If your network relies on multitudinous data destination
sites, then MPLS is probably already something you need.
Another thing to keep in mind: survey says that hardly any
business has plans to invest in ATM or time frame relay a year
from now. That may be a hint for you right there.
But perhaps the single most important benefit of an MPLS
network is greatly enhanced disaster recovery.
MPLS' "from any point to any point" structure allows it to
easily re-route all data from or destined to a disaster-struck
site to or from one that is running normally and in tact.
MPLS allows for multiple redundant layers of data to be
incorporated within the network data cloud as you set up your
disaster recovery plans for your business.
These are the possible benefits of implementing an MPLS
network in your business, and the time is right to seriously
consider them.
