As predicted by iTWire last month, global virtual network operator Vanco has launched a service that enables users to configure and order a global MPLS network and leased line or DSL access through a Web portal.
Vanco claims the service, Vanco NetDirect, provides access to the services of thousands of carriers in over 200 countries.
According to Vanco, the NetDirect portal removes the complexity of purchasing these services around the world. "Once signed up to the system, users can enter each site location and circuit requirement – circuit type, bandwidth and class of service (CoS) – to display prices for locations in the USA and internationally, and to place orders for these circuits."
NetDirect is aimed primarily at asset-based carriers and system integrators providing services to end user enterprise customers, but Vanco suggests that large enterprises may use it to access the portal directly an order circuits direct from Vanco.
According to Vanco CEO, Allen Timpany, ”This is about helping carriers win more business and at better margins, and about meeting the needs of the largest enterprise customers in the world...There are only a very few carriers that have global reach but almost everyone has multinational customers. With Vanco NetDirect telecom providers can now offer their customers additional network capability on a global scale at a competitive price."
