Asia Netcom offer MPLS links on pay as you go basis

Your IT - Home IT

Asia Netcom has announced a new MPLS-IP VPN product offering, "M-Flex", designed to improve flexibility and reduce complexity for enterprises looking to adopt the next generation network platform.

The service exploits the ability of Asia Netcom's infrastructure to support five Class-of-Service levels and usage-based billing. Asia Netcom says that M-Flex combines these two capabilities to allow enterprises to literally, "pay as they go" for the bandwidth they consume, and the class of service that they choose.

"Traditional IP VPN offerings require the network manager to specify and commit to bandwidth for each CoS that they subscribe to. With M-Flex, enterprises can subscribe to a port of up to T1/E1 bandwidth and put any type of traffic through the pipe. They are charged by the volume and the type of traffic that is measured on the port.

 M-Flex will be available in all Asia Netcom On-net countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, the UK and the US.
