Verizon Business Extends Managed Local Area Network Service to EMEA and Asia-Pacific

Basking Ridge, New Jersey (ots/PRNewswire)

- End-to-End Management Solution Enhances Network Performance;
              Allows Customers to Focus on Core Business
Verizon Business' managed local area network (LAN) service is now
available in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific
region, in addition to the United States.
Verizon Managed LAN services enable customers to fully or
partially outsource the management of their corporate networks. The
managed service provides a seamless environment between the corporate
headquarters' network and its extended network that connects
partners, customers, remote employees and suppliers.
Multinationals receive comprehensive network management
experience, expertise, resources and capabilities -- locally and
globally. The key benefit for enterprises is a seamless view of WAN
(wide area network) and LAN environments that can enhance performance
and reliability, while reducing overall network operations costs. It
also reduces the risks involved with deploying converged networks and
emerging IP-based applications such as voice over Internet protocol
(VoIP).
Dustin Kehoe, principal analyst of Current Analysis, said: "The
LAN is just as important as the WAN. The end-to-end customer solution
enabled by Verizon Managed LAN will be very attractive to the
enterprise customer, and makes Verizon Business a stronger managed
services supplier."
Mike Marcellin, vice president, global product marketing for
Verizon Business, said: "The LAN is becoming an increasingly
business-critical and performance-sensitive environment. Our global
customers are increasingly looking to bring the same high levels of
performance and reliability they have come to expect in the extended
enterprise to the corporate headquarters. By outsourcing LAN
management to a trusted third party, and tightly integrating it with
the WAN, customers are able to enhance their overall network
performance and availability and better support their overall
business needs."
Verizon Managed LAN Service
Verizon Managed LAN offers a comprehensive, yet flexible range of
LAN management capabilities that can be tailored to suit each
customer's specific business needs, and are backed by some of the
industry's most stringent service level commitments. Verizon Business
procures, installs, configures and tests LAN-related equipment and
proactively manages the performance and usage of the LAN so
businesses can focus on what they do best -- serving their customers.
The service uses Cisco Catalyst switches.
Verizon Business' award-winning IMPACT network management
platform offers proactive monitoring to help ensure network
continuity, reduce downtime and enable more effective bandwidth
management. Access to the Verizon Business Customer Center portal
enables real-time tracking of the managed-service implementation
process, project status, inventory tracking, contacts, change
management requests and more.
Verizon Business now manages more than 250,000 customer
communication devices worldwide, including more than 65,000 LAN
switches, and manages more than 4,000 customer networks in 142
countries. The company was recognized by Gartner in the Leaders
quadrant for "Global Network Service Providers in 2007."(i) It is
also the recipient of the 2006 Frost & Sullivan Customer Service
Leadership Award for Managed Services and the 2006 Cisco Systems
Global Managed Services Partner of the Year Award.
