Progent's Cisco Qualified Consulting Services for Cisco IOS MPLS
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching enables service providers to build intelligent environments that support a wide variety of services over a single infrastructure. This cost-effective technology can be deployed seamlessly over any existing environment, such as internet protocol, Frame Relay, or Ethernet. Because Multiprotocol Label Switching is independent of connectivity protocols, customers with differing access links can be combined on an Multiprotocol Label Switching edge without modifying their current environments.

Combining MPLS application pieces including MPLS VPNs, Traffic Engineering (TE), Quality of Service, Generalized MPLS, and IPV6 allows the creation of highly efficient, expandable, and protected network environments that guarantee Service Level Agreements.

ISPs can reduce their time to profitability by up to a quarter and realize an extra 50% of throughput capability by deploying MPLS Virtual Private Networks, MPLS QoS, and MPLS Traffic Engineering instead of only installing the plain vanilla connectivity of VPNs. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE consultants can help ISPs with the planning, set up, implementation, and management of intelligent public networks that derive all the benefits of MPLS to optimize throughput, provide secure connectivity, and comply with SLAs.
