GÉANT Plus Value Proposition

 

TitleDescription
Offering  The service allows NRENs to request point-to-point Ethernet circuits between end-points at GÉANT points-of-presence (PoPs) and to North America. The NRENs then provide onward connectivity within their regional network to the required end-destinations.
Reason to Act

Many performance critical services require performance levels that cannot be easily met by shared IP services. In particular data center backup and replication, real-time mission critical services and broadcast quality video need traffic isolation that dedicated circuits offer.

However multi-national circuits are typically expensive, have long lead times for delivery and tie the user in to long service contracts.

GÉANT Plus provides a simple answer to this: short delivery time and no additional cost providing existing interfaces are used

Customer ExperienceThe GÉANT Plus service allows user access to point-to-point circuits of between 100Mbps and 10Gbps across an existing pre-provisioned network, combining the advantages of dedicated circuits, delivered quickly (10 days on an existing interface) and at no additional cost (to the GÉANT IP subscription)
 BenefitsFlexible: Point-to-Point (PoP-to-PoP) capacity delivered from 100Mbps to 10Gbps

Robust: same award winning levels of support and resilience offered by the GÉANT network

Fast Delivery: only 10 days to deliver (on an existing interface).

Extended footprint: available to all GÉANT NRENs and North America

Cost Effective: No additional costs to setup a point-to-point circuit with GÉANT Plus

 Costs

Delivered at no additional costs on an existing interface.

If delivered on a new interface, standard interface prices apply.
