Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

For multinationals, moving from international Frame Relay circuits to an MPLS IP VPN does not necessarily save money in the short term though longer-term financial payoffs are already being reported by early adopters.

FT spends £3.5m on WAN from BT

The FT is migrating from Frame Relay technology to an IP VPN-based network that uses MPLS, a protocol that allows greater flexibility and the prioritising of data. The Financial Times has signed a contract worth £3.5m for BT to connect 21 of its...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
