Cradle to Cradle with STABILO!
Spitfire, the leading business ISP and Internet
Telephony Service Provider, is now offering an
auto-fail, auto restore optional ADSL back-
up facility for Ethernet based MPLS networks
provided by the company. In practice this
means that in the unlikely event of an Ethernet
connection failing, an ADSL back-up circuit
is automatically activated to maintain MPLS
connectivity across a multisite network. In
addition the Ethernet circuit is automatically
restored without manual intervention, when the
Ethernet connection is back online.
Spitfire MPLS networks offer high security while
reducing overall cost of ownership. Standard circuit
routers are used on site, meaning expensive routers
and firewalls are not needed, nor is any complicated
on site customer configuration and management.
The MPLS cloud allows all sites to link to each other
in a full mesh, and when linked to a hosted firewall
this provides external access to the Internet.With a
single large connection to the Internet through one
firewall, the cost of Internet bandwidth is reduced,
while improving reliability, speed and management
control.
Spitfire MPLS is ideal for VoIP and SIP Trunks
providing lower cost external calls and free calls
between sites, with service level agreements (SLAs)
for assured performance levels. Spitfire MPLS
connectivity is easily scalable, flexible providing a
secure, resilient multi-site solution.
Commenting on the new MPLS auto-restore
option Spitfire’s Marketing and HR Manager,
SusieWard said, “Ethernet circuit failures on
MPLS networks are rare, but for some customers
with ‘mission critical’ business requirements an
automatic back-up is essential. But they also want
their Ethernet circuit restored without the need
for manual intervention. These types of businesses
often have non-technical staff working outside
normal hours such as at weekends. Our auto-
fail and auto-restore option provides business
continuity and peace of mind.”
