Keeping up with enterprise needs
Although many service providers already offer business VPN services, they are often imple mented
on first-generation IP/MPLS networks, which were designed to deliver an earlier generation of
services over legacy access networks. With first-generation networks, implementing QoS is frequently
labor intensive and costly, and existing edge devices offer a narrow range of services and poor
access to applications. As a result, many existing VPN services provide only limited flexibility and
QoS capabilities. They are also connectivity oriented — not service oriented — restricting service
providers’ ability to generate new revenues.

the benefits of Managed business networKing services
Many enterprises are already embracing managed business networking services, such as MPLS-based
Carrier Ethernet VPNs and IP VPNs, because they can provide higher bandwidth, superior QoS
and application-level SLAs. As a result, the market for these services is already around 19 billion
Euros globally — and is expected to grow to over 32 billion Euros by 2013
