Five Reasons to Migrate to Mpls (multiprotocol Label Switching)

Is your business trying to decide whether to move to MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching)? If so, here are five reasons to make the switch:

COST-EFFECTIVE: MPLS services can save a company between 10% to 25% compared to Frame Relay and ATM data services. If voice and data capabilities are added, the savings can jump up to approximately 40% for the entire network.

QOS CAPABILITIES: One main advantage of using MPLS services is its QoS capabilities. This is of upmost importance for companies utilizing voice and video.

PERFORMANCE UPGRADE: Increased response time and improved application performance are advantages for utilizing MPLS services. This reduces the number of "hops" between network points, which are the "any-to-any" features MPLS offers.

DISASTER RECOVERY: MPLS services offer data backup/disaster recovery capabilities by connecting data centers and other key sites in multiple redundant ways to the cloud. Unlike Frame Relay and ATM networks which require either switched or backup permanent-virtual-circuits, MPLS services allow remote sites to quickly and easily reconnect to backup locations, when applicable. This flexibility is a major advantage of MPLS over Frame Relay and ATM.

FUTURE-PROOFING THE NETWORK: Businesses realize MPLS is "the wave of the future" and are making the switch from Frame Relay and ATM services to MPLS. This switch is mainly for fear that they will be left behind. Competition is tight among businesses in all industries, so having a more cost-effective and more efficient network system gives them a fighting chance.

In summary, MPLS offers a more manageable and cost-effective network solution. Not only is the system simpler, but also more responsive, scalable and flexible by offering multiple services.
