IP Convergence: Beyond VoIP, Beyond Cost Savings

Careful there Steve, your comment was so good you'll have people thinking that we paid you to plant lead-in's to talk about our MPLS service!

I think you'll find that a lot of what Masergy told you certainly isn't true about Global Crossing. Not only have we been doing MPLS in our core longer than anyone else, but we do more with MPLS's traffic engineering capability than any other provider does on a global basis through our use of MPLS-TE and RSVP. Not only that, but that we have a huge advantage over smaller networks because we own all of our own facilities, Our MPLS core is built directly on our own DWDM systems and on fiber that we either own out-right or have long term IRU's for.

For an overview of our IP-VPN product, take a look at this page, but the information is fairly light. If you would like more information, leave me an email address and I'll have an account manager contact you.

As for your question about how to compare MPLS providers, I think it's a great topic for a blog. Keep an eye out for my next post.
