Identifying the Need for MPLS
•

•
•
•
Do you need a WAN with disaster recovery capabilities?
Are you planning to add or move locations?
Are you planning to implement VoIP?
Are you planning to implement Citrix?
Are you planning to implement video?
Do you transfer large files?
Are you experiencing latency problems?
Do you want to add bandwidth to your Frame network?
Do you want more applications
(without buying more bandwidth)?
• Is your current WAN is more than three years old?
New Edge MPLS Backbone
Key Learnings
• Applications drive the network design,
not the other way around.
• Thoughtful network design ensures
scalability.
• Private networks drive predictable
application performance.
• Close coordination is required on all
aspects of network – e.g., application
integration, installations and deployment.
• Getting the right services at every location
can be complicated – it often requires a
mix of access technologies and multiple
vendors.
MPLS Benefits
• Increase Productivity
 Optimize performance for existing applications
 Add new applications/technologies easily
 Facilitate the growing peer-to-peer paradigm
 Simplify moves, adds, and changes
• Increase Security
 MPLS eliminates public Internet security threats
 MPLS supports disaster recovery
• Improve Your Bottom Line
 MPLS has a lower total cost of ownership
 MPLS uses bandwidth more cost-effectively

What These MPLS Customers Say
IDEAL SERVICE PROVIDER
We needed a more reliable network and a provider who understands
us. The solutions, level of contact and expertise that we get from
New Edge make them the ideal network provider for us.
Dennis Mahon
Vice President of IT
AC Coin & Slot
RESPONSIVE PROVIDER
Working with a communications provider that cares as much for our
two sites as we care for each child in our centers is an important
consideration for selecting our service providers. New Edge Networks
has been consistently responsive and flexible with the planning and
installation of our network…

What These MPLS Customers Say
INCREASE THE BOTTOM LINE
We wanted to have a really flexible platform going into the future, and
our ATM network would have handcuffed us. MPLS gives us much
greater flexibility as well as better security and more bandwidth, at a
lower overall cost.
Joel Commaford
Network Administrator
Nott Company
MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY, ADD VALUE
We tripled our capacity, replaced 10-year-old network equipment,
outsourced network management to New Edge, and didn’t pay a dime
more than what we were paying for a legacy frame relay network. But
the real value from our new MPLS network will come from improved
efficiency and productivity when it is fully operational this summer.
Our network will extend our competitive advantages.
