Global connectivity services.
The best of two worlds for a reliable network underlay.
A solid foundation of connectivity.
A high-performance network relies on a solid foundation of connectivity. Businesses need a reliable global underlay that reaches even the most remote locations, including China, and supports cloud and remote users. That calls for a consolidated approach that removes the complexity of managing multiple connectivity providers and monitoring a private backbone for international connections.
Open Systems combines regional last-mile connectivity or global access lines with a private backbone that grants network access through global points of presence. This lets Global Connectivity Services guarantee true end-to-end availability and quality SLAs: from site to PoP thanks to last-mile connectivity, and from PoP to PoP thanks to backbone connectivity. All delivered as a managed service, so you get the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of internet connectivity without the complexity of managing it.
Three parts, one underlay.
