The Ethernet technology deployed in your local area network (LAN) can now be used to directly connect multiple sites in many locations around the world. By extending the use of Ethernet to your wide area network (WAN), Telstra’s Virtual Private LAN Service provides a cost-effective and straightforward way to achieve national or global connectivity.Telstra’s Global Virtual Private LAN Service is an any-to-any service, delivered over a core infrastructure based on Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology. As well as offering strong network resilience and ensured bandwidth, a high degree of fault tolerance is included as standard with the Global Virtual Private LAN Service. If a route fails, all traffic is automatically redirected via the best alternative route, resulting in minimal service disruption.Flexible data management is inherent with Telstra’s Global Virtual Private LAN Service. Six classes of service allow you to differentiate between types of traffic and prioritise business-critical data. In addition, virtual sub networks can be created within the physical network to segregate data for different business processes, while multiple VLAN interfaces enable closed user groups to be established.VPLS offers the control of Frame Relay and ATM networks, combined with the any to any functionality of IP VPN. Another key benefit of Telstra’s Global Virtual Private LAN Service is flexible routing control; ideal if security or compliance issues require you to manage your IP routing in-house. As existing in-house teams may already be familiar with Ethernet, the need to employ new, highly skills resources may be reduced, helping to save on costs. Telstra International’s geographic reach allows you to outsource your global connectivity, without the need to manage disparate international suppliers. Our Ethernet solutions are offered in many locations around the world, with the Global Virtual Private LAN Service widely available across Asia Pacific, Europe and the USA.
