- Multiple private peering and transit points across the country for excellent diversity and network performance
- SLA-backed performance guarantees for packet delivery, latency, backbone availability, and jitter
Features
Superior Performance-Guaranteed
Convergence's network performance statistics are among the best in the industry, meaning your company can transfer performance-sensitive applications with confidence. We guarantee average round-trip latency of 50 milliseconds or faster and 100% network availability.
Continuous Network Monitoring
The IT professionals in Convergence's Network Operations Center (NOC) test facilities and monitor our network 24 x 7 x 365.
Managed Router Service
Convergence professionals can recommend the optimal router solution for your organization, as well as provide configurations, maintenance, and monitoring.
Integrated/Dynamic T-1
Convergence can offer you an integrated suite of local, long distance, and Internet services, all over a T-1. Our Integrated T-1 is dynamic, so when your voice or data requirements fluctuate you will maximize efficiency.
Value Bundles
Convergence can also bundle a seamless package of Internet, local, and long distance services for your organization and deliver them for one low monthly fee.
MPLS VPN
Secure, Prioritized Business Connectivity
Overview
VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) offer an affordable way to build an enterprise network that delivers the performance, security, and reliability of a dedicated private-line network. Convergence's professionally managed MPLS VPN service uses the latest MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) technology to provide your employees, business partners, and customers with secure access to your company's networks and data from virtually anywhere.
World-Class IP Backbone
Utilizing our advanced IP-over-SONET (Internet Protocol over Synchronous Optical Network) backbone, Convergence's MPLS VPNs deliver benefits that include:
- Performance that rivals traditional cell switching infrastructures based on underlying ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) architecture
- Reduced overhead and increased network performance
- Low latency and high packet throughput
MPLS VPN with QoS
Today, maximizing your available bandwidth by converging voice and data traffic is essential. Convergence's MPLS VPN with QoS (Quality of Service) assigns "private labels" to your data, which identifies its destination and allows it to travel securely through our network. It also offers you:
- Prioritization capabilities that give precedence-and additional bandwidth-to time-sensitive applications like streaming video over applications where immediacy is less of an issue, like e-mail
- Virtual paths that ensure your data is completely separate from that of other customers
- End-to-end QoS at the customer edge and through the core
- The security of your data remaining entirely within Convergence's private, national network-it never enters the public Internet
Features
Secure and Efficient
Convergence's IP-over-SONET (Internet Protocol over Synchronous Optical Network) architecture ensures privacy and security, and increases application performance for end users.
Remote Access
Authorized employees, partners, and customers can use your MPLS VPN to gain secure access to your corporate data and applications anytime, anywhere.
Site-to-Site Connectivity
All of your locations are automatically interconnected, allowing data to flow directly between them, instead of using a less efficient "hub and spoke" architecture.
Inherent Disaster Recovery
The meshed-network architecture of Convergence's MPLS VPNs creates an automatic data recovery solution.
Domestic and International Coverage
Convergence's MPLS VPN service is available in 151 markets within the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada, as well as more than 50 countries throughout Asia, Europe, and South America.
QoS (Quality of Service) Prioritization
Based on available customer bandwidth, time-critical applications like streaming video are given priority over less time-sensitive applications like e-mail.
Built-In Resilience
IP routing intelligence automatically reroutes data to another path in the event of an outage, helping prevent delays and congestion.
IT Resource Optimization
With router configuration management, changes are performed remotely, reducing the need to dispatch valuable internal IT resources.
