Obtaining dependable enterprise class data service domestically or to overseas locations is not as easy as it seems. The leading carriers that you are familiar with in the US, Canada and Europe are not necessarily the right carriers to provide your service to Asia, Europe or Africa.

When working with some countries, issues such as local language and culture become part of the equation in making your decisions. Especially if you have any service issues.

if your remote site applications not as responsive as you would like you might benefit by upgrading from a VPN over the Internet or traditional Frame Relay to a more manageable and cost-efficient MPLS network.

Many companies using a VPN over the Internet or a legacy Frame Relay to communicate between offices, facilities, and manufacturing plants world-wide. However, Internet VPN's do not provide the stable, high performance data communication that MPLS provides and Frame Relay does not offer the manageability or robustness found with MPLS.

MPLS gives the company full control in managing and prioritizing different applications and their use of network bandwidth. Firms having installed a MPLS network find that they can save significantly (up to 20-25%) on network maintenance costs because the network is so much easier to configure, manage, and monitor.

MPLS networks bring the most value for a company in terms of having a much lower latency level (compared to Internet VPN's) and by providing a constant bandwidth for dependable response time. In many cases, if you exceed your committed information rate (CIR), Frame Relay does not provide a consistent response, resulting in fluctuating performance of the core applications of your business (i.e. procurement, ERP software, Oracle, Siebel, PeopleSoft, and Citrix).

From the business perspective, this translates to more efficient communication between offices or plants, quicker client customer service cycle times, and lower labor costs both in operations, sales, and IT.

If your company's headquarters (HQ) has remote branch offices, plants country-wide, or global facilities that require dependable communication between them, your business risks a much higher downtime with a traditional hub-and-spoke Frame Relay network, compared to a MPLS network. Since in a hub-and-spoke topology, all Frame Relay communication circuit physically go through HQ, all communication between remote offices and plants will be cut off from each other if a network failure were to occur at HQ. The threat of this sort of network failure does not exist with MPLS since all offices can communicate directly to all others, not just the HQ.
