More and more South African companies are extending the reach of their business internationally. IS has developed a number of solutions, which allow for the secure collaboration between a head office and various global branches without having to deal with several network providers or Telco’s. All of these solutions are delivered with high-quality via fibre-optic connectivity, to ensure low latency. By making use of a shared infrastructure, using an ATM backbone network, as well as technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), it is possible to effectively manage the quality of service provided to each customer.
Through IS’ International VPN solutions, it is possible for customers to deal with a single solution provider. IS has deployed a VPN node in London, New York and Hong Kong with submarine VPN fibre connectivity back to South Africa. Connectivity to Europe and North America is provided over SAT2 and SAT3 cable systems, while connectivity to Hong Kong is provided via SAFE. These nodes connect seamlessly to partner international frame relay and MPLS backbones in these regions. IS currently offer delivery of frame relay and MPLS services into approximately 85 countries around the world. All international VPN services are delivered seamlessly with IS providing the single point of contact for the customer. Management of international VPN solutions is provided on the same basis as IS’ local VPN solutions.
