IP and MPLS networks
Taking the ‘work’ out of Networking
An IP network is the foundation for the complete private company information network. It allows users, including remote and roving users, to connect securely. It also offers options to integrate your Local Area Network (LAN) and IP Telephony.
Information can flow freely and cost effectively between all of your staff. Even selected customers and suppliers if you wish.
Not all IP networks are the same. It will be very hard for you to decipher one network from another when you only go shopping once every three years for a new data network. Because Simplisity’s team have been recommending IP networks for over 6 years now and working with Data networks for more than 20. you can rest assured we know the obvious network choices and learned about those to avoid.
Horses for courses
It is important to ensure you get the most appropriate design for your requirements. You also need scalability and the reassurance that you can change with the times. Sometimes you need to flex up, sometimes you need to flex down. The restrictions of your network should not affect how you do business. Simplisity will help your design.

How can quality vary
Traditionally the networks have used latency figures to show you the quality of their services. However, for internet backbone networks, packet loss is a very important factor that will affect the cost of throughput for your application performance.
Networks and services with a high packet loss rating are much less efficient and cost you much more than services with low packet loss figures. The networks we work with connect to a global Internet backbone with some of the lowest packet loss ratings in the industry.
We have developed a packet loss calculator to enable you to see for yourself how the efficiency and reliability of a good internet backbone/IP access services gives you exceptional value for money.
There are four key aspects to quality and this is where we help. Contact us right now for more information at Simplisity Tel: 08700 420 48
