Reliance Globalcom Network Services

The Reliance Globalcom Network
Reliance Globalcom operates a global native Ethernet network that employs Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) over a Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) platform. The Reliance Globalcom network represents a best-of-breed network architecture that provides the security, low-latency, low-jitter and cost-effectiveness of Ethernet with the resiliency and quality of service (QoS) features of MPLS.

Reliance Globalcom leverages its global fiber route mile infrastructure to offer end-to-end Ethernet services at speeds up to 1 Gbps. This infrastructure completely bypasses the Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) Central Offices, making Reliance Globalcom the leading choice where business continuity strategies require complete network redundancy and diversity.

Fully-Managed Services
Reliance Globalcom installs, provisions, monitors, manages and takes full responsibility for the customer premise equipment (CPE) at your site. Via this, Reliance Globalcom's Operations personnel gain complete visibility to the service during the service provisioning and testing phases.

Because we run an end-to-end Ethernet network, you can simply plug-in your LAN; the Reliance Globalcom network acts like an Ethernet bridge, easily connecting as many sites as you would like. Additionally, this simple approach means that you do not have to worry about older technologies like ATM/ Frame Relay/ ISDN and the hardware and headaches that accompany them. Ethernet technology end-to-end means faster, reliable and more scalable packet delivery.

Post-implementation, the service is monitored 24x7x365 by the Reliance Globalcom Global NOC. Our highly-trained engineers employ a range of industry-leading tools to respond to, if not anticipate service-affecting events.

Reliance Globalcom also offers an easy-to-use customer web portal through which customers can:

• Measure service utilization
• Monitor Reliance Globalcom's network performance
• Confirm and measure against SLA metrics
• View monthly invoices

High Performance
Today's enterprise applications are highly-sensitive to the performance of the network services over which they run. Because switched Ethernet is less process-intensive than routed IP, Ethernet-based networks offer a significant latency advantage over layer 3 networks. This fact makes the Reliance Globalcom network the ideal network platform for critical low-latency applications like: VoIP, videoconferencing, data replication, and financial trading applications.

Secure, Scalable and Flexible
Reliance Globalcom offers high-security by employing policy-based VLAN provisioning over dedicated per-customer ports. This ensures that the transit of an enterprise's proprietary data is fully protected and inaccessible beyond the intended origination and destination points. Given the simplicity of Ethernet, Reliance Globalcom network services are instantly scalable from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps in 1 Mbps increments. Additionally, the use of Ethernet offers many inherent network connectivity options, point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and fully-meshed, which allows the enterprise to freely connect as needed. Whether you are connecting to remote data centers or bringing new facility online or looking to deploy point-to-point, partial or fully-meshed solutions, Reliance Globalcom's deployment expertise and the proven benefits of Ethernet technology can get you there quickly and easily.

Reliable
Reliance Globalcom has developed a comprehensive network design strategy aimed at supporting the most critical of enterprise network applications. By deploying VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) over an MPLS-based network core, Reliance Globalcom has created a best-of-breed approach that provides the reliability, security and ease of use of Ethernet along with the scalability, multipoint-to-multipoint support and resiliency of MPLS. Bi-directional metro rings, 50ms failover times and a fully redundant network core ensure that your data will get to where it needs to go.

Industry Leading Service Level Agreements
Reliance Globalcom offers the most aggressive and comprehensive network Service Level Agreements (SLAs) available in the network services industry. Reliance Globalcom's SLAs demonstrate the dramatic advancement in Ethernet service reliability and the advantage of Reliance Globalcom's Ethernet-based network over other network service delivery options like Frame Relay and the Internet.
