Network Benefits

Smoothstone Managed MPLS is a private MPLS networking service that offers mid–sized enterprises the single network solution they need to Work over IP. A Smoothstone Managed MPLS connection provides the inherent performance and security needed to carry all your enterprise traffic. It even includes dynamically–allocated Internet access, freeing you from the complexity of provisioning and maintaining separate, dedicated Internet connections.

Smoothstone´s network services were designed to provide the flexibility, performance and control that mid–sized enterprises require in their network solution.

Managed from core to desktop
Smoothstone manages all your network services end–to–end, from the core to the desktop, delivering the benefits of converged IP communications to every employee in every location, every day.

Flexible network technology and access

When Smoothstone set out to improve the way mid–sized enterprises communicate, it began with a network built specifically for the needs of such companies.

Using best of breed network carriers and a Cisco Powered Network as a backbone, Smoothstone constructed a private network with the scalability, resiliency and management capabilities, delivering business applications and communications tools designed to enhance day–to–day business.

Smoothstone provides flexible network connection options, allowing employees in geographically–dispersed locations to work together on the same network. This allows enterprises to add users, access applications on demand and adjust Quality of Service (QoS) settings, as needed, to support mission–critical business processes.

Simply put, Smoothstone designed and built the first network specifically for mid–sized enterprises to Work over IP.

 

Optimized for the delivery of enterprise applications

Smoothstone knows that a hosted application is only as good as the network that delivers it. That´s why we chose to engineer the Smoothstone network specifically to support enterprise applications.

MPLS at the network core gives us the ability to prioritize traffic and customize Quality of Service (QoS) parameters based on application and service level requirements. This ensures your most latency–sensitive applications always have the bandwidth needed to perform at optimal levels.

Through Smoothstone´s Network Operations Center (NOC) and powerful web–based portals, you have real–time visibility into the performance of your network and the delivery of enterprise applications. This enables you to proactively manage your network and respond to changing conditions.

Provides real–time, fingertip control from end–to–end

While hosted solutions can simplify IT management and free you from having to manage your network and application infrastructure, Smoothstone recognizes that you don´t want to completely give up control.
