Our enterprise customers typically come to us for:

• Ways to reduce their communications spend and the total cost of WAN ownership
• A network providing intelligence, flexibility, high-availability, scalability and speed
• Quality of Service guarantees for critical applications
• Dynamic bandwidth allocation between services
• Centralised business critical services such as virtualisation and disaster-recovery
• Help with consolidating their legacy infrastructure and in converging services
• The flexibility that a hybrid of switched Ethernet networking and routed IP brings

All this is possible and more via our VPLS Next Generation Network.

The Exponential-e Advantage

What makes our technology so revolutionary and unique is that it simultaneously cuts costs; improves quality of service; agility; productivity and efficiency and gives control back to you, the customer. In particular we offer:

Lower prices
Our network dramatically reduces circuit prices by up to 40% compared to traditional leased lines. We are currently offering 25mb/50mb/100mb of Internet from £550/£650/£800 per month.

Faster response times
Our customers have access to their own network information so faults in a network can be isolated so much faster.

Lower costs
Our “switched” Ethernet NGN uses lower cost CPE and requires less specialist networking skills than “routed” WAN solutions and is therefore cheaper to run and maintain.

Optimum performance
Our VPLS NGN gives network speeds of up to 10Gbps in small incremental steps.

Versatility
Bandwidth changes on VLANs (Virtual Local Area networks) can be carried out in a matter of minutes, compared to traditional leased lines which can take three months. Our customers are more agile and can respond to market changes faster.

Scalable bandwidth
Customers are not restricted to buying bandwidth in large chunks but can buy as usage requirements dictate, up to the limit of their access circuit’s capacity.

Security
Our traffic travels across a VLAN which is the same as a private network so internet security breaches are no longer a concern.

Quality of Service
We measure very precise end to end service levels. (in terms of jitter; packet loss; latency etc). Our network supports 5 QoS classes of service.

Ultra-low latency
We provide industrial strength resilience with a carrier class switched infrastructure so we can offer very low latency (67 millisecond round-trip from London to New York).

High-availability
We can boast 99.999% network uptime, which means as a customer, you suffer minimal disruptions to your operations.

Our enterprise solutions include: managed services; voice; disaster-recovery; intelligent QoS; hosting; video; business-grade Internet; co-location; support for virtualisation and SaaS; surveillance and security applications.

In addition, our dedicated finance business group has a number of highly specialist applications such as our financial data feed, liquidity-in-a-pipe solution; low-latency connectivity; proximity hosting as well as our financial exchange community boasting membership of over 150 financial organisations.
