A proper MPLS provider can give your business a large list of benefits to help increase productivity and save you money. MPLS allows your different data to be transmitted and prioritized to allow your router to run quickly and to distinguish where the individual packets need to be sent to for the most beneficial work environment. Although there are countless benefits from switching to an MPLS solution, we have narrowed down the top five that we believe are crucial to bettering your business.

  1. Quality of Service (QoS): There is no QoS that is typically offered in a traditional broadband network or public access networks. With MPLS solution it offers a guaranteed QoS over the network that is key for video and voice services.
  2. Built-in Disaster Recovery: With an MPLS solution, it offers data back-up by linking their data centers in numerous different ways to the cloud. MPLS will allow your provider’s remote sites to easily reconnect to back up locations should a disaster ever occur, so your data will always be secure.
  3. Performance Enhancement: Due to the prioritizing of packets that MPLS provides, this solution will increase the response time and improve your application performance for a faster overall network.
  4. Easy Management: If you are an IT director and trying to manage a network between various locations, with an MPLS solution you are able to gain a better monitoring control. With everything being online, you are able to reassign your priorities at anytime if you need to.
  5. Cost Savings: Some MPLS provider plans have been able to save businesses 10-25% of their total connectivity services compared to other solutions due to lack of equipment by running through the cloud.
