The leading provider of managed IP data, voice and security services in North America, MegaPath Inc., announced today that its Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service achieved a major milestone, connecting its 20,000th site. End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) on T1/T3 and DSL access and is the only MPLS VPN service that is also available with cable, satellite and wireless access is provided by the MegaPath Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service. Without having to purchase, install and manage a separate Internet connection and firewall, it features integrated Security Gateways that allow customers to access the Internet over the same circuit as their MPLS VPN.

In April 2004, MegaPath began offering its Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service over broadband, and in April 2005 added end-to-end QoS. To ensure that business-critical data, including financial transactions, ERP/CRM applications and Voice over IP (VoIP), are prioritized for the highest level of quality available, this service leverages the company’s optical nationwide network and MPLS routing infrastructure to provide customers with up to five classes of service.

Delivering the premium performance and privacy that are essential for any mission-critical enterprise network, with greater flexibility and savings than any service in its class, MegaPath’s Site-to-Site MPLS VPN is a completely private network. Reducing the time and distance of data travel, it creates a direct, secure path from site to site. MegaPath, to provide access to the public Internet, utilizes Security Gateways located throughout its network that eliminate the need for additional circuits and customer provided firewalls. Including Managed Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Web Filtering, with 24x7 proactive monitoring and management plus Internet access for the customer’s entire network, MegaPath’s Security Gateways deliver a completed suite of Managed Security services.
