As companies move to embrace outsourcing and managed ICT solutions offered by Service Providers, there are some industries that maintain full control of their network and appreciate Service Providers who offer technologies that serve this need.
Ethernet VPN (E-VPN) is a means of taking the leap to a new Wide Area Network (WAN) technology that does not necessitate that Service Providers manage the network – as opposed to IP VPNs . This type of network is especially relevant to industries where the network routing control is preferred to be maintained in-house (i.e. by the organizations themselves). E.g. Financial Services Institutions.
SingTel provides businesses with E-VPN solutions that offer the balance between quality and control. Click here to find out more, or contact us today for a discussion.

- Technology Simplicity & Familiarity
The familiar Ethernet interface makes this technology easy to adopt and faster to deploy (i.e. Plug and Play). You can continue to tap on your company's existing knowledge base and network equipment to manage the extension into the Wide Area Network (WAN). - Full Network Control
Ethernet VPNs (E-VPNs) are not managed by Service Providers. You retain full control of your network and routing configurations. - Protocol Independent
As Ethernet is a Layer 2 technology, you can choose the type of protocols you wish to run on your network. E.g. SNA, IPX, AppleTalk. - Scalable
With E-VPNs, you can scale your network easily from 1Mbps and beyond. Incremental bandwidths are also available, which reduces chances of over-subscription and the additional costs incurred.
Take the first step towards network simplicity with SingTel's E-VPN solutions. Contact us today to find out how you can better control your network resources.

SingTel has a suite of services - ConnectPlus - that provides a complete and reliable integrated communications solution to address your business needs.
Housed under the ConnectPlus suite of services, ConnectPlus Ethernet VPN (E-VPN) operates on Layer 2 and runs on the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) technology. It provides any-to-multipoint connectivity with reliable Quality of Service (QoS). VPLS delivers Ethernet-based connectivity over meshed Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) circuits, thereby combining the flexibility of IP and the simplicity of Ethernet. This allows your enterprise network to be connected on a single-bridged Ethernet LAN, regardless of location.
