BtNAccess Announces Multi-site MPLS VPN Agreement With Control
Corporation of America RESTON, Va., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ --
BtNAccess, a global network solutions provider, announced the
implementation of a multi-site MPLS VPN and Dedicated Internet
Access solution for Richmond-based Control Corporation of America
(CCA). CCA has selected BtNAccess to upgrade its VPN network from a
CPE-based IPSec solution to an MPLS VPN encompassing eight
locations covering its sales offices and headquarters in Richmond,
Virginia. BtNAccess is able to provide a multi-service solution
through a single IP port at each location based on the latest
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology. "The BtNAccess
global MPLS network is optimally designed to support enterprise
data applications, ranging from mission critical transactions to
normal data transfers and Internet access, and voice solutions with
multiple Classes of Service (CoS)", said Rick Ciccone, president,
BtNAccess America. The BtNAccess solution is built around a global
MPLS-enabled backbone that provides secure, reliable and scalable
network-based VPNs. Through the BtNAccess multi-service IP port
solution, CCA is able to simplify its network management and
achieve greater network flexibility coupled with faster VPN
bandwidth upgrades for all eight sites. CCA uses the T-1's at each
of their locations for both public Internet access and VPN
applications. CCA selected BtNAccess' highest level (Gold) CoS for
its mission critical application with a full mesh configuration
connecting its sales offices to its headquarters. "We are proud to
be chosen by CCA for all its data networking requirements. This is
a testament to the reliability and technical performance of our
network coupled with the detailed attention of BtNAccess' network
engineering and customer management resources," said Ciccone. "The
MPLS-based VPN solution is an order of magnitude better than the
solution we were using before," said Ken Mynes, MIS manager, CCA.
"The connectivity is more reliable with much higher bandwidth
capacity since our conversion. BtNAccess' MPLS capability was
certainly a major factor in the decision process. The installation
was very smooth and easy for us, much easier than our original
installation." About BtNAccess: BtNAccess, a wholly owned
