Progent's Cisco-certified Consulting for Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching allows service providers to build intelligent environments that support a broad range of functions over a single infrastructure. This cost-effective technology can be integrated transparently over any in-place infrastructure, such as internet protocol, ATM, or Ethernet. Since MPLS is isolated from access protocols, customers with various access links can be combined on an MPLS edge without modifying their existing environments.

Combining Multiprotocol Label Switching application components such as MPLS VPNs, MPLS-Traffic Engineering, MPLS QoS, GMPLS, and IPV6 enables the development of highly efficient, scalable, and secure network environments that guarantee SLAs.

Service providers can reduce their time to profitability by up to 25% and realize an additional 50% of throughput capability by deploying MPLS Virtual Private Networks, MPLS Quality of Service, and MPLS TE instead of only providing the baseline functions of Virtual Private Networks. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE consultants can help service providers with the planning, configuration, implementation, and management of next-generation public networks that take full advantage of MPLS technology to optimize performance, deliver safe connectivity, and meet SLAs.
