A leading manufacturer of medical devices for the treatment of patients suffering from respiratory disorders needed a high performance backup network with global reach for redundancy and failover to alleviate availability issues it had encountered when connecting overseas locations. In addition, it wanted an IP network infrastructure built on MPLS that could be leveraged to support additional IP-based applications for its growing voice and video business needs. In 2001, the company selected frame relay to serve as backup for six sites. But two years later, the company decided to move to Global Crossing's IP VPN Service for its scalability and IP-service enabling qualities. Global Crossing IP VPN Service, which is built on MPLS, provides the medical devices manufacturer with a reliable, usage-based service for backup and failover that scales globally to support the increase in sites critical to the company's ever-expanding global operations and future IP applications.
