- Expanded worldwide IP VPN supports law firm's growing practice.
- 1,800 attorneys in 22 offices rely on Global Crossing's IP VPN network to support their business around the world.
Global Crossing, a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced that it is providing Skadden, Arps, one of the world's most prestigious law firms, with a new worldwide IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) to support its growing practice. The contract, signed last year, is a multi-year deal, extending a long-term service relationship between the two companies.
Global Crossing's IP VPN service is available in more than 600 cities in 60 countries on six continents. It provides customers with extensive network coverage to keep remote employees connected to the information they need to successfully conduct business.
"This network solution addresses our strategy to improve the end-user experience, while providing top-level support to clients. With additional bandwidth, increased network performance, security and enhanced features, our legal staff can utilize advanced technologies locally and globally," explained Philip Talamas, head of technology operations, Skadden, Arps. "This fully managed IP VPN also offers us cost savings, security and enhanced features, while providing for future growth."
Global Crossing and Skadden, Arps designed a fully meshed Wide Area Network (WAN) that would seamlessly connect Skadden, Arps' four data centers around the world. The network contains a variety of safeguards that seamlessly route traffic to another center or to a backup provider to ensure a continuous, smooth flow of traffic, even in the event of natural disasters or other unforeseen catastrophic events.
"Skadden, Arps' networking solution was designed with the needs of their 1,800 attorneys in mind -- not just for today, but for tomorrow -- with converged voice services features and functionality ready to use when they need them," said Dan Wagner, Global Crossing's executive vice president for enterprise services. "Whether Skadden, Arps' attorneys are in Moscow, San Francisco or Brussels, they can rely on the same high-quality services and network to support their clients virtually anywhere in the world."
Global Crossing provides enterprises with one of the highest performing and versatile IP VPN solutions, which is transported over the company's secure, privately owned and operated MPLS-based IP backbone. It offers truly global reach, scalable connectivity, greater security, multiple access options and flexible billing options that simplify the customer experience by allowing customers to focus on core business objectives rather than network management.
An IP VPN is the network of choice for a fully managed converged IP solution supporting data, voice, video and multimedia applications over a single IP-based platform. IP VPNs give customers more network control, while lowering total cost of ownership.
