Vialtus Solutions (formerly Pipex Business) offers UK businesses access to next generation network performance, today

Partnership with Cable&Wireless creates global 1GBPS Virtual Private Network

London, 3 June 2009:  Vialtus Solutions, in partnership with Cable&Wireless, has launched the UK’s first 1GBPS[1] Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) to run on Cable&Wireless’ Multi-Service Platform (MSP).

Vialtus Solutions’ new IP VPN service enables companies to deal with increasing volumes of data from enterprise, web, e-commerce, voice, data and video applications faster than many market equivalents.  The network builds on the existing advantages companies can achieve through Vialtus Solutions IP VPN such as; reducing costs, outsourcing operational administrative tasks and benefiting from the latest technology and business processes. [These include Quality of Service (QoS) evaluation and five Classes of Service (CoS) which enables prioritisation of network traffic.]

Cable&Wireless’ MSP is an IP-based next generation platform, combining technological capability with a viable economic model to power bandwidth-hungry applications. The new network offers a number of value added advantages, including; the ability to upscale bandwidth as and when the network needs more capacity and supports all types of last mile connections – including leased lines, DSL and Ethernet.

Maria Cappella, CEO at Vialtus Solutions, explains, “Through Vialtus Solutions, businesses can today take advantage of the next generation of IP VPN. Existing benefits such as CoS are not useful if your network does not have the speed, security and capacity to quickly transfer increasing volumes of data.”

Cappella continues, “Companies now have the opportunity to take advantage of next generation technology without substantial up front or ongoing costs, enabling them to invest their energies and resources on their core business where they achieve the best results.

Vialtus Solutions’ new IP VPN harnesses Cable&Wireless’ wider network, a network which has extensive coverage, reliability and security. It is flexible enough to meet the individual needs and requirements of businesses.”

Ian Thomas, Managing Director, Partners, Cable&Wireless Worldwide, explains; “Today, businesses run applications they hadn’t even dreamed of a decade ago.  As a result, they demand a robust, high-bandwidth, high-speed network. We designed our MSP around the needs of customers and it delivers the network performance businesses need today and will continue to need in the future.”
