Progent's Cisco-certified Consulting for Cisco IOS MPLS
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables ISPs to build smart networks that support a wide variety of functions over one infrastructure. This cost-effective technology can be deployed seamlessly across any existing environment, such as internet protocol, ATM, or 10BASE-T. Because MPLS is isolated from connectivity technologies, subscribers with various access links can be combined on an Multiprotocol Label Switching edge without changing their current systems.

Integration of Multiprotocol Label Switching application components such as MPLS Virtual Private Networks, MPLS-Traffic Engineering, QoS, Generalized MPLS (GMPLS), and IPV6 protocol enables the development of fast, expandable, and secure networks that guarantee Service Level Agreements.

ISPs can accelerate their time to profitability by up to a quarter and achieve an extra 50% of throughput capability by deploying MPLS VPNs, MPLS Quality of Service, and MPLS Traffic Engineering as opposed to merely installing the baseline functions of Virtual Private Networks. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE consultants can help service providers with the design, set up, deployment, and provisioning of large public network solutions that take full advantage of Cisco IOS MPLS to optimize throughput, provide secure connectivity, and comply with SLAs.
