Progent's Cisco-certified Consulting Services for Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) allows Internet Service Providers to build smart networks that deliver a wide variety of functions over one system. This economical solution can be integrated seamlessly over any existing environment, such as internet protocol, ATM, or Ethernet. Since MPLS is independent of access protocols, customers with various access interfaces can be aggregated on an Multiprotocol Label Switching edge without modifying their existing environments.

Combining Multiprotocol Label Switching application pieces including MPLS Virtual Private Networks, MPLS-Traffic Engineering, MPLS QoS, GMPLS, and IPV6 protocol enables the creation of highly efficient, scalable, and protected network environments that ensure SLAs.

Service providers can accelerate their time to break even by up to a quarter and realize an additional 50% of bandwidth availability by implementing MPLS Virtual Private Networks, MPLS QoS, and MPLS TE rather than only installing the plain vanilla connectivity of VPNs. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE consultants can assist Internet service providers with the development, set up, deployment, and provisioning of intelligent public network environments that derive all the benefits of Cisco IOS MPLS to optimize bandwidth, deliver protected connectivity, and meet service level agreements.
