Cisco transforms international network for Orange Business Services
May 30, 2008
Cisco and Orange Business Services have embarked on a major network upgrade project
to improve and extend Orange Business Services’ international IP VPN.
The project will help Orange Business Services bring new advanced services to
multinational organizations on a global basis, expanding its portfolio of innovative
collaboration solutions that combine voice, data and video to include Cisco Unified
Communications and Cisco TelePresence for virtual ‘in-person’ meetings.
This new phase of network development will introduce greater efficiencies through
the convergence of multiple legacy networks into one end-to-end IP network and
add new capabilities such as multicast VPN and IPv6 over MPLS at the network edge.
The deployment of a new generation of Cisco IP NGN routing technology will bring
Orange Business Services’ international network even closer to its customers’
locations to deliver consistent quality of experience in 220 countries and territories.
Orange Business Services achieved Cisco Global Certified Partner status in September
2007, the first service provider partner to reach this goal worldwide.
