HONG KONG, CHINA, 1999 JAN 26 (NB) -- By Staff, IT Daily. Ascend
Communications [NASDAQ:ASND] has unveiled its virtual private
networking (VPN) strategy for the Asia Pacific region.
Called MultiVPN for carriers, Internet service providers, and
enterprises, the new strategy was designed to advance the VPN
market by addressing the key concerns of both service providers
and enterprise subscribers.
With MultiVPN, companies can use the public network for private
communications with management capabilities, assured levels of
service and availability, and compatibility and security, through
a provider/subscriber architecture.
The system uses Internet Protocol (IP), asynchronous transfer
mode (ATM), and frame relay.
"We have matched enterprise-wide needs with carrier-class VPN
solutions that service providers in Asia Pacific can deploy
profitably," said Tony Wise, vice president and general manager
of Ascend's Asia Pacific Operations. "We predict that the result
will be a dramatic acceleration of VPN adoption in the region.
"Now that we have established ourselves as the market share
leader in access solutions in Asia, we plan to add as much value
as possible to that installed base. Our initial MultiVPN entry
strategy in Asia will be targeted at telcos, carriers, and ISPs
which can offer this as a leased service to major enterprises
and government agencies throughout the region," said Wise.
Eric Sin, sales manager of Hong Kong Supernet, said: "Providing
new and innovative value-added services to our customers is key
to our strategy for future growth. Virtual private network
solutions will allow us to meet our customers' needs by providing
a cost-effective alternative to leased line connections, while
ensuring the highest levels of performance and service."
