Our latest VPLS seminar takes a very different approach to the previous four ‘primer’ events.

In recognition that the subject has matured, we have drawn on our real life deployment experience to move the agenda on.

This time the focus is on how VPLS delivers advanced services and applications differently.

VPLS is the key enabler for so many new applications – whether that be multi-site WAN connectivity, Managed Services, Unified Communications, Virtualisation or SaaS.

Held in conjunction with our channel partners Atlanta Technology, Qube, and Scalable Networks, our next VPLS event has been specifically designed to demonstrate not just the key advantages provided by a VPLS network, but also the numerous business-critical applications and services it can deliver - and the simplicity and scalability with which they are delivered - compared with legacy connectivity technologies.

Presentations include:

An introduction to VPLS - adding value in real-life scenarios
Adrian Hobbins, CTO at Exponential-e

VPLS: The enabler to Wide-Area Unified Communications
Denny Meijer, CTO at Scalable Communications

The VPLS Managed Service Proposition
Gary McCullough Product & Services Manager, Exponential-e

Storage and server virtualisation from the VPLS cloud
Simon Kelson Managing Director at Atlanta Technology

Next Generation Networking for Software as a Service
Julian Carr, Chief Operating Officer at Qube

Following the presentations there will be 4 break-out groups which include:

- Private WAN planning session, with Exponential-e
- Storage & server virtualisation, with Atlanta Technology
- Next Generation Networking for Autocad on demand, with Qube
- Unified communications, with Scalable Communications

VPLS is THE key component for any organisation wishing to improve the performance of their WAN infrastructure - whilst making a significant reduction in IT expenditure.

“The IP VPN solutions which we first considered required us to use highly complex access-control lists to keep different business unit traffic secure from each other. With VPLS solutions designed by Exponential-e, you don’t get this headache as it’s all done via secure layer-2 broadcast domains.”
