Netcom MPLS VPN helps achieve the information superhighway

"Information superhighway", people have been familiar with, "information driven industrialization", also put forward for a long time. Can how to really get through the enterprise internal network of the "trail", catch the express highway of Information superhighway? Remains a problem that has plagued many domestic companies.

Story one: the choice of reality

"Companies also need to build their own information highway." Hu Xiangdong, general manager of the Broadband Business Development Department of Fidelity Group's network company.

He said: "1996, Tatsu Group built into a dedicated line access mode network." But with the development of the company, the expansion of business scale, partners, channels and customers more and more, the daily network transmission of data traffic began to greatly exceed its affordability. Coupled with the cost, as well as the demand for broadband applications, this line access mode has become a major obstacle to the development of the group. ”

To this end, in October 2001, Tatsu Group decided to cooperate with China Network communications company to establish a MPSL VPN system for the company in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and other places in 11 offices to provide MPLS VPN access services. Hu Xiangdong introduced the program, including local access, remote access and regional center, such as the typical access mode. After the project project through acceptance, Tatsu group will realize the internal network seamless connection, has a fast and secure network environment, and can further expand the external network, convenient and partners, suppliers, key customers, mobile office personnel Network contact, for the successful implementation of the Internet to establish a reliable environment.

So why does the group choose Netcom MPLS VPN? Hu Xiangdong that the main reasons for the following considerations:

Netcom's Technology and network
First, the group needs a full network, end-to-end Mpls-vpn to ensure efficient and secure internal data transmission.

Second, the Netcom cncnet using IP over DWDM technology, with 40G bandwidth, can easily host set data, voice, video equal to one integrated, large bandwidth applications, for the real group in the future use of the network and upgrade laid the foundation.

Third, the more the communication network to the core layer of the network gold content is higher, can enjoy the higher the network efficiency. Conversely, the farther away from the core layer, the more users will share a limited access port, and the less efficient the network will enjoy. Netcom Flat network structure design, the network only 2 layers, users can enjoy the network efficiency has a very good protection.

Status of project implementation
First, it eliminates the hassle of WAN maintenance. The network topology of the WAN should be considered in the way of the Green Line networking. Link settings, equipment debugging, traffic distribution, resource allocation, and the use of MPLS VPN network, WAN Open is the default, each access point to consider just how to connect with the Netcom access port through, A technician can finish this job in less than an hour.

Second, reduce the number of intermediate equipment caused by the trouble. Special-line network needs to contact a large number of equipment, debugging need to occupy a lot of time, but also increased the input equipment, using MPLS VPN network, at many points, the real Tatsu group with their existing routers completed with MPLS Large network connectivity.

Third, save the cost. The company is located in various cities throughout the country, the use of DDN to form a corporate intranet needs to lease a number of DDN with the central node interconnection, long-distance DDN line application fee will be a huge expenditure; instead of using MPLS to build a VPN, the company only needs to apply for the DDN line locally, Connected to the local city netcom MPLS node can be, do not have to purchase a large number of network equipment and long-distance ddn, saving a large amount of money.

Business that can be implemented
First, the Office system. All branches can be directly connected to the real Tatsu Group Fuzhou Headquarters Intranet, and the Internet environment and the same as the headquarters.

Second, the internal voice system. By adding small gateways, all branches can achieve long-distance telephone service with headquarters through MPLS VPN, and realize internal voice communication, which eliminates the cost of long-distance telephone calls.

Third, video. Future enterprise video applications, including remote negotiation and videoconferencing system, can be realized.

The convergence of future business
With the in-depth application of IP, the contradiction between application and bandwidth will be intensified. Netcom 40G Backbone network bandwidth, can fully adapt to future IP applications to the demand for large bandwidth.

The demand for information platform is urgent, but we must not give them a lack of heat, or shoddy "dishes." Companies need a real "information superhighway"-gold high, investment can be effective returns, Netcom deeply understand this.

Story two: Netcom's timetable

Gao Yin, senior manager of CNC's product planning and management department, has a schedule for Netcom's MPLS VPN business, several of which are:


October 2000, Cncnet opened the ability to provide MPLS VPN;
March 2001, all Office System of Netcom transferred to MPLS VPN;
July 2001, Netcom completes MPLS VPN most important a net broadband multimedia test Network--broadband telephone network construction;
September 2001, the first large-scale value-added service on MPLS VPN--the video conference development completes, may move toward the market;
October 2001, Netcom officially announced the Netcom MPLS VPN products.


Careful preparation gets a return of enthusiasm. Netcom MPLS VPN was launched, it was favored by a large number of users, including the reality, as well as Shiseido, China through the network, Beijing Union University.

Netcom MPLS VPN application, Tatsu group just opened a head, will be more exciting in the future, Netcom's goal will be more long-term, it will be launched next, is no longer the concept of a single product, but a complete set of solutions. The road of Enterprise Informatization, I believe it will be more and more wide and more exciting.

Story three: The Future of MPLS VPN

In fact, as the first user of the Netcom MPLS VPN, the reality group has its own particularity. It is a technology-oriented company, has a good understanding of new technologies, more easily accepted, and Netcom has maintained a variety of cooperation.

Netcom certainly knows this. Gao Yin that the current promotion of Netcom MPLS VPN is only the first step, the future road will be more flexible, not only to talk about products, to pay more attention to the provision of programs to form a package. For example, using MPLS VPN to complete the wide-area network, VPDN for mobile users, as well as IDC to achieve host hosting, from a single product to diversify the development of products, in accordance with the characteristics of different enterprises, voice, data, all kinds of business is not carried out, but the use of "plug-in" way to slowly expand: first of all, build enterprise intranet , realize the demand of Office system and voice system, then consider the value-added services such as broadband telephone, video conference, etc., as well as the overall solution for banking securities, IT, government agencies and other industries, and introduce the application scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises.

"The most important thing for MPLS VPN as a basic network is to help users build broadband, and then all the broadband applications can be launched and the network will become more and more exciting," he said. ”
