MCI's Private IP Service Now Delivers Even More Reach, Access Choices and Features

Reading, England (ots/PRNewswire)

- Country Expansion, Ethernet and IP Access, WAN Analysis
Reporting and Application Aware Services Included in Latest Release
MCI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCIP) today announced service area expansions
and enhancements to its Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) private
network-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. These
enhancements to MCI's flagship service, MCI Private IP, will help
customers meet growing requirements for secure, reliable and flexible
connectivity.
Private IP is now available directly from MCI in Kuwait, South
Africa, and Turkey and through additional partner agreements in
Brazil, China, India and Mexico. Additionally, the service now
features Ethernet Access in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy,
Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK; and adds access via
MCI's IP network across Europe, as well as new application awareness
features and WAN analysis reporting.
One company benefiting from these enhancements is Storagetek, the
leading provider globally of enterprise information lifecycle
management solutions. MCI provided a fully-managed Private IP
MPLS-based solution across Europe as part of a global migration from
Frame Relay. "MCI's solution offered a fully resilient service with
the ability to upgrade or change bandwidth easily and with minimal
disruption. It also enables us to leverage future Voice over IP
(VoIP) capabilities and provides Storagetek with the ability to
communicate efficiently within the 'any-to-any' global network
cloud," said Kieron McGarry, IT Director, Storagetek.
Ethernet Access into the MCI MPLS network gives customers
additional access flexibility and the adaptability to undertake
easier upgrades and downgrades. The availability of MCI's Private IP
Network Gateway across Europe enables customers to connect to MCI's
Private IP network using public IP access via dedicated access or
DSL. Private IP Network Gateway leverages MCI's points of presence in
more than 2800 cities globally, providing an entry level solution for
remote customer sites.
"MCI is committed to developing products and services that will
enable customers to gain real competitive advantage from the next
generation of communications technologies," explains Roberta
Mackintosh, Senior Director, Products, Pricing and Analysis for MCI
Europe. "These enhancements address the growing demand to extend
reach and offer scalable solutions and features that enhance the
applications' awareness of the network."
Business applications put ever-growing requirements upon their
WANs. To support this, MCI is adding two new features that enhance
the application awareness of the Private IP Network.
A new VRF Lite (VPN Routing & Forwarding) feature allows for
multiple VPN routing and forwarding features on a single edge router
enabling customers to cost effectively segment their network, making
provisioning and network management easier compared to a multiple
customer edge router solution. MCI is also introducing a managed
voice interface card for customers who want to move to a converged
network at their own pace. Alternatively, MCI Advantage is available
for customers that are ready to expand to a fully converged
environment for both internal and external calls supported by voice
specific SLAs and additional IP features.
Finally, MCI has begun offering WAN Analysis Reporting powered by
Concord, providing customers with enhanced visibility into system
efficiency and critical resource availability, as well as the ability
to quickly identify network degrading conditions and proactively plan
for network capacity. This capability is offered via a web tool which
requires no additional CPE at the customer's premises.
