Network Service Roadmap Sample Clauses

Network Service Roadmap. Describe the major upgrades or enhancements planned for your network within the next 2-3 years. What is the projected timetable for these projects and what benefit will these upgrades offer VITA? How will these upgrades improve service to VITA? What impact (negative or positive) will the changes affect your services to VITA? How will these upgrades minimize service disruption? Recognizing that investments in network infrastructure tend to be continuous rather than periodic, and that system expansions and network upgrades are key to reliable service; describe your reinvestment strategy for the previous year as well as your plans for the next three years in terms of capital investment.

Network Service Roadmap. Yes Accommodating network growth continues to be a top priority. CenturyLink added 1.5 Tbps of capacity in 2009, 933 Gbps in 2010, and over 3 Tbps in 2011. We will continue to add capacity when link utilization levels approach 50% of saturation for foreseeable future. In addition, in 2012, we added over 200 Gbps of peering capacity to improve the quality of Internetworking with other providers. Private networking currently consists of 157 edges in 63 markets. 2012 expansion included new markets and expanded Ethernet coverage, including new “Ethernet over Copper” in our local region. Additional sites will be added in the U.S. and internationally. At higher speeds, we have been successfully bonding Nx10GigE service where necessary to meet customer requirements. We are current evaluating new switch architectures as we move towards 100 Gbps in the backbone. New Products in Development CenturyLink continues to develop a roadmap matching the following criteria: Deliver aggressive pricing with broad reach Expand Ethernet options (speed, QoS, access) Customer experience that exceeds expectations One size need not fit all Include critical features at no charge Migrate without hassle or duplicate expense Make smart roadmap investments Offer performance transparency. The following new or expanded product options are consistent with those guidelines. Delta Port The CenturyLink Delta Port offer provides customers with a cost-effective way to connect to our MPLS private network or public Internet network with CenturyLink provided local access. Bandwidth speeds options from DS1 to 5xDS1 (7.5 Mbps). Support Options 8 am to 5 pm M-F Custom 9-Hour Window

Network Service Roadmap. Escalation Options 1 per site per month Pool of escalations Reliable Enterprise-class network Optional Security IP Sec Tunneling Control Center Web Service Portal Next Generation Multicast Developed to support the CenturyLink PrismTV offering. Enterprise customers can benefit from implementation of next generation multicast services. Application Performance Monitoring In addition to metrics on latency, packet delivery, jitter, and availability, new statistics are being made available on individual queues for improvement of network controls and as feedback to establish the most effective QoS policies. Backbone MOS scores are planned for 2012 to provide a monthly metric on overall suitability of the CenturyLink network for IP voice communications. Public QoS/VoIP Readiness Not every customer buys VoIP services from their network provider, which ultimately means that some portion of IP voice communications might occur over a public backbone. CenturyLink is developing QoS features for the public network to complement existing capabilities for private networking customers. In addition to QoS improvements, other new options are being added to make CenturyLink a more attractive choice for running VoIP services. This includes, but is not limited to, ongoing MOS score calculations and QoS tuning capabilities. Dual Primary Customer MPLS Networks. Today, almost all MPLS networks are provided via a single network provider with redundancy or backup capabilities potentially provided by a secondary service provider. CenturyLink is engineering options that would allow a customer with an existing MPLS network to add new sites via IQ Networking and have it participate transparently as part of the original network while taking advantage of additional features available to CenturyLink customers. Cloud Enhancements With the acquisition of Savvis networks, CenturyLink has greatly expanded portfolio of cloud security, storage, business continuity, and other hosting services for a wide range of customers from small-mid-size businesses through Fortune 50.
