The scalable, ‘wires only’ IP network access service, IP Clear, can link multiple sites together to create an IP-based, secure virtual private network. Those networks can then be used as the platform for company-wide intranets, extranets or inter-site business connectivity.
- Highly flexible virtual private network service, enabling new sites to be quickly incorporated and meshed into your network.
- Core network owned, maintained and managed end-to-end by BT with resilience measures designed in, so ensuring security and reliability.
- Easy migration from other virtual private networks to IP VPN, so cost-effective way to introducing IP or add new sites.
- Wide choice of access speeds to 1Gbps, allowing service to be quickly scaled up or down to meet specific requirements.
- Delivers any-to-any connectivity between sites, reducing expense associated with reconfiguring and managing connections between multiple networks.
- Can be used as convergence solution for running voice and data over one network, which reduces infrastructure and management costs.
Sites throughout the UK and beyond can be brought together into a wide area network (WAN) to share information and applications with IP Clear, even if their networks use different protocols.
This secure, reliable Internet protocol (IP) virtual private network lets you configure your network to meet exact corporate requirements.
It runs over BT’s multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network, providing a cost-effective, highly scalable route to direct information exchange between connected locations.
What’s more, if there is a fault on the network, information will always reach your required destination as traffic simply takes a different path.
Migration path
IP Clear’s wide range of ‘always-on’ network access speeds also includes ‘flex', high-speed Gigabit Ethernet options and ADSL. Secure dial-in is also available for smaller locations, homeworkers and teleworker via PSTN, ISDN or mobile devices.
Once deployed, IP Clear provides the capability to host and switch applications and content between multiple sites. Business continuity is, therefore, ensured, while disruption caused by upgrades or maintenance is prevented.
It also interworks with IP-enabled services, providing your organisation with a migration path from BT’s FrameStream, CellStream and SMDS services.
Cost-effective
IP Clear delivers a VPN solution that offers:
- Unbundled, ‘wires-only’, so you can use existing equipment or equipment from preferred suppliers
- Cost-effective way to build meshed network as there are no usage-based permanent virtual circuit (PVC) charges
- Capability to adjust bandwidth quickly to suit users and applications as needed
- Scalability for adding new sites quickly, merging with other organisations or bandwidth increases
- Business continuity options including synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) delivery and dual-diversely routed access circuits
IP Clear with CoS
IP Clear’s differentiated classes of service (CoS) provide a platform that enables you to converge voice and data traffic on to one network. Converging traffic can then cut infrastructure and management costs.
