AT&T Solutions to
Announce Managed
Bandwidth Service
By KATE GERWIG
AT&T Solutions today will announce a new
managed bandwidth service at the
NetWorld+Interop trade show that will
provide bandwidth-on-demand for business
customers with applications that require
multiple networks.
AT&T's Managed Bandwidth Service,
which currently is in controlled introduction
and will be widely available later this year,
integrates voice, data, IP and video
bandwidth needs on the customer's
premises using a managed global platform.
The service expands AT&T's Managed
Network Solutions (MNS) services by
integrating its private line, frame relay and
ATM services using Newbridge Networks
products on the customer's premises.
AT&T is using the Newbridge Global
Services Management Platform, Mainstreet
and MainstreetXpress intelligent network
access multiplexers to deliver the
managed bandwidth service.
The new service "can be reconfigured to
respond to changes in technology and
evolving customer bandwidth
requirements," AT&T Solutions president
Rick Roscitt said in a statement.
The managed bandwidth service allows
customers to aggregate low-to-high
capacity voice, data and video bandwidth
requirements and allows them to
reconfigure capacity on demand, rerouting
traffic according to time of day. Customers
also have online access to performance
reports.
AT&T will negotiate individual service level
agreements (SLAs) based on each
customer's network design.
AT&T Solutions manages customer
networks from its global network
management centers in Durham, N.C.,
Coral Gables, Fla.; Toronto; the United
Kingdom; the Netherlands; Singapore;
India; and China.
