BT Infonet, a leading provider of global communications
services for multinationals, today announced that it is providing
ViewSonic Corp. with a global MPLS IP VPN solution to support the
company's integrated voice, video and data service needs.
ViewSonic is a worldwide leader in visual display technologies,
including LCD desktop displays, digital televisions, projectors and
other visual devices. BT Infonet's MPLS IP VPN is supporting critical
business processes among 10 ViewSonic offices located in the U.S.,
Asia-Pacific and Europe. A videoconferencing system also was deployed
to facilitate meetings from ViewSonic hubs in Taiwan, the U.K. and
Walnut, Calif. With the network provisioned for voice over IP (VoIP),
ViewSonic is considering rolling out this functionality to select
sites in the near future.
BT Infonet's IP VPN solution was implemented as part of
ViewSonic's commitment to migrate its global network from frame relay
to MPLS. With the solution in place, ViewSonic has experienced a
consistent level of service, improved visibility into its global
networking operations, and the ability for each site to share data
with others on the worldwide network.
"Having previously had a number of communications partners around
the globe, we value BT Infonet's worldwide presence and ability to
effectively manage all of our sites at a local level," said Jim
Morlan, CFO, ViewSonic.
"Within the coming months, ViewSonic will expand its global
network to include sites in Beijing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong," added
Larry Malone, president of BT Infonet USA. "This is a great example of
how our solutions are helping companies like ViewSonic execute
strategic initiatives, globalize applications and more effectively
manage network infrastructure and costs."
