NTT Communications Announce VPLS Services to Underpin Cloud Strategy

LONDON, May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

NTT Communications,  part of the NTT Group, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, today announces additional Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) for customers in Europe.

NTT Communications' VPLS service will provide next generation layer 2 Ethernet capabilities in 30 countries across Europe, backed by 24x7 customer support, customer portal access and leading SLA.  

This gives customers:

• Multipoint, multi-site to multi-site connectivity with extensive EU footprint
• Cost effective networking solutions for enterprises
• NTT Communications recently won Telemark's prestigious award for World Class Customer Satisfaction. This is the fourth year in a row that NTT has won the award

The services have recently been purchased by Xing, the professional business network with more than 12 million members worldwide. Holger Bürger, Director Site Operations at XING, chose NTT Communications because "With high demands on bandwidth and reliability to connect our offices and data centers we needed a pan-European network providing excellent round trip times. The network is such a fundamental component that we had to get that right. NTT Communications were very flexible and helpful to us in their approach and we hope to work with them long term"

John Hammond, VP Business Network Services at NTT Europe, said "This platform underpins our strategy to virtualise the network infrastructure layer and add valuable services over the coming years as NTT Communications moves towards its Cloud Vision."
