(InfoWorld) - Verizon Business on Monday rolled out a nationwide WAN service, allowing large organizations to use Ethernet to connect offices spread across the U.S. Verizon's Virtual Private LAN Service, or E-VPLS, is the first such service from large telecom carriers, the company said. The service, delivered over Verizon Business' existing converged packet network, allows customers the flexibility to adjust their networks' bandwidth from 1M bps (bits per second) to 1G bps, Verizon said. The new service is aimed at companies that want the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of Ethernet service paired with a nationwide WAN, Verizon said. "We have extreme coverage," said Michael Volgende, Verizon Business' director of Ethernet services. "We're not starting from scratch in terms of network deployment." In addition, the new service, available throughout most of the U.S. Monday, comes with service-level agreements that guarantee on-network Ethernet access 100 percent of the time, and 99.99 percent for off-network Ethernet access. The agreements include a mean time to repair of two hours for on-net Ethernet access. By using Verizon Business' current packet network, Verizon can offer a "very strong" service-level agreement, Volgende said. "It kind of demonstrates the confidence we have in the service offering," he added. E-VPLS allows customers to maintain control of their routing, instead of sharing it with Verizon, said Verizon Business, part of Verizon Communications Inc. E-VPLS will allow customers to set priorities for applications through four classes of service: real time, priority, business and basic data. Real-time service is aimed at VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) and digital video applications, while applications like e-mail can get a lower priority. In addition to commercial applications, the U.S. General Services Administration requested the service as part of its Networx program, designed to help federal agencies make the transition to next-generation networking services, Verizon said. The service will cost about $48,000 a month for a typical Fortune 100 customer using E-VPLS to connect six sites spread across the U.S., Verizon said. That price includes bandwidth ranging from 10M bps to 100M bps. The same network would cost more than 25 percent more using traditional leased lines in a hub-and-spoke network, Verizon said.

(InfoWorld) - AT&T is pumping up its services in the Middle East by expanding its network in the region and building up its local presence there, the company announced Monday. In addition, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson has selected AT&T to provide an advanced VPN (virtual private network) across the Middle East, AT&T said. An AT&T network node being deployed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in cooperation with Saudi TelecommunicationsÂ and NavLink is expected to be operational by the end of the year, AT&T said. AT&T owns a minority stake of NavLink. Data infrastructure from AT&T will allow AT&T and NavLink customers to directly connect to Saudi Telecommunications' nationwide MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network, which is the largest in the Middle East. AT&T will also deploy a new global network node in Kuwait, with cooperation from QualityNet, a local provider of data networking services. The companies will work with NavLink to activate MPLS node during 2008, AT&T said. QualityNet will host the global network node and allow AT&T to offer VPN services to Kuwaiti customers seeking global connectivity and to AT&T's existing multinational customers seeking to expand in the Middle East. AT&T currently has network facilities operating in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. These expansion are part ofÂ AT&T's $750 million global investment programÂ announced earlier this year. In the coming months, AT&T plans to hire more sales and support employees in Dubai, it said. In the Ericsson deal, worth $6 million, AT&T will provide VPN services to support Ericsson's growing business activities in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The agreement builds on a relationship between the two companies in which AT&T provides network services to Ericsson's business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. The key requirements for the deal included a reliable network, a comprehensive service level agreement and speedy implementation, Carl-Magnus MÃ¥nsson, chief information officer of Ericsson, said in a statement.

(InfoWorld) - A powerful and secure virtual private network solution for businesses with Macs has been announced by Billion Electric. Billion Electric Wednesday announced two fully Mac-compatible SSL VPN Security Appliances with integrated router and firewall functions, the BiGuard S5 and BiGuard S10. The products are all-in-one security gateways with SSL VPN, designed for SMB users seeking secure, cost-effective and clientless remote access to the corporate network. The beauty of the products is their relative low cost in contrast to more expensive solutions for larger enterprises. When set up in the office, the two solutions mean remote users can share and access files from outside of the office just as if they are on the network. Users simply need to launch their web browser andÂ enter their authorisation codes and their office network becomes accessible through a secure tunnel. The built-in security software can even check a user's MAC address, IP address, and hostname to ensure only authorised people can gain access. Billion Electric claims its solutions are easy to set up and manage, saying: "There is no need for dedicated IT personnel." Edward Kung, managing director of Billion in U.K. says: "We've developed our SSL VPN systems to work seamlessly with the Mac OS. Ideal for the significant number of Mac users who work in small businesses, this SSL VPN device is important for their network security." The Billion BiGuard S5 offers an all-in-one security gateway for small businesses seeking secure, cost-effective, and clientless remote access to the business network. It costs just Â£169 ($325), excluding VAT, and supports up to five concurrent SSL VPN sessions. The BiGuard S10 (Â£229 excluding VAT) supports up to 10 concurrent sessions.
