3. 3 Global Crossing at a Glance Let me first ground you in who we are and what our capabilities are..
Traditionally, many thought of Global Crossing as a voice company, due to the North American acquisitions. Or as a pure wholesale provider because of our origin as a sub-sea cable and network provider.
But the vision for this company has always been to provide IP services to global enterprises. To facilitate this, we built a core IP network with global reach – one that will likely never be duplicated in our lifetime. These assets are unique and give real differential advantage.
We have maintained our core worldwide network assets through restructuring and transformation to allow us to maintain our vision and differentiation in the marketplace. These assets are very much intact today and we continue to build partnerships to further our reach to further realize our vision.
These assets position us uniquely to service the requirements of businesses today; the advent of convergence in finally upon us and we are prepared…Let me first ground you in who we are and what our capabilities are..

10. 10 We recognize that your support requirements demand 24x7x365 availability and are happy to be able to provide you with not only the highly trained personnel to help you with your needs but of course, 24x7 fully redundant, globally based Network Operating Centers.
Our Managed Solutions offer guaranteed service parameters with robust SLA monitoring and notification.
In fact, according to The Yankee Group, Global Crossing is ranked number 1 for SLA’s and Service Reliability (ahead of AT&T, MCI, Sprint and IBM).
Our alerting is proactive and order entry, order status and billing inquiries are automated.
Global Crossing has a 95% customer retention rate and have been referenced by customers as “unique problem solvers”
Independent studies show that on all critical areas in which we support enterprise customers, Global Crossing has met or exceeded customer expectations when compared to other service providers.
Customer Satisfaction Survey - KEY POINTS and BACKUP:
Conducted continuously since March 2002 – throughout restructuring.
Calls are conducted by Knowledge Systems & Research (KS&R) a prominent independent market research company experienced in conducting SAT surveys.
Monthly telephone calls to a random sample of world wide Enterprise customers who spend at least $1,000 or more per month.
Customers are segmented and analyzed based upon their revenue spend with Global Crossing:
Large: Over $25,000 per month in MMR
Small: Over $1,000 but less than $25,000 per month
Calls are “blind”, meaning Global Crossing is not identified as the sponsor of the survey. This methodology has several key advantages:
Provides unbiased responses
Allows direct comparisons to our competitors
Surveys done each month, results are tabulated and reported on a quarterly basis
Measures satisfaction across seven categories for Global Crossing and one other provider currently being used, in addition to measuring “top of mind” overall satisfaction:
Network performance, Account Support Team, Customer Service Center, Billing Support Service, Activity Support, Cost of the Service, and Overall Value.

11. 11 Communication security threats today can include denial of service, eavesdropping, compromised systems, service disruptions and connection requests from non-subscribers.
As a result, your objectives around network security are pretty straight-forward: To preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your communications services, and prevent theft or fraudulent use of your systems.
But ensuring that your mission-critical communications are protected at every layer – from the core to the perimeter of your environment – requires a unique multi-layered defense strategy.
Global Crossing’s defense-in-depth strategy is essentially made up of multiple, independent layers of security built to ensure the overall integrity of your network – even if one layer gets compromised.
Our strategic relationship with VeriSign, announced last June, further extends our capabilities, taking our unmatched IP network security from the core, all the way out to your premise.
Together, we offer new services, including a Managed Firewall Service, Intrusion Prevention Service and a Managed Vulnerability Protection Service.
Other new offers are expected to include Incident Response and Forensics, Phishing Response, Business Protection Services and United Authentication
Global Crossing is experienced in meeting the needs of UK and US legal and regulatory bodies and is backed by security agreements in both cases….In the UK with the UK British Standards Institute and an NSA agreement with the US Government.
In the U.S., our ‘preferred provider’ status is what enables us to deliver converged IP solutions to the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense.
Of extra importance to point out is the recent validation of our managed security services offer from industry analyst Current Analysis of Global Crossing’s who moved their rating on us from neutral to positive.

Ok then, let’s look at the Wide Area Network and talk a little about how VPNs on the WAN typify Convergence.
What exactly is a Virtual Private Network? (Read definition)
Now, what are the key benefits of the VPN (read benefits)
So, the bottom line is in this diagram with an MPLS based IP VPN you can have all of these desperate converged connection types with one to many relationships both to each other and applications.

Transport IPv6 Natively across the network using 6PE (IPv6 over MPLS), i.e. no tunneling required.
Allows the use of IPv4 and IPv6 on the same VPN, enabling smooth migration plans that don’t require forklift implementations Recently, we’ve added a number of enhancement and options to our IP VPN portfolio
IPv6
Increases Scalability To Include More Addresses And Routing Capabilities
New Market Opportunities
Nomadic Personal Computing Devices Cell Phones, PDAs
MLPPP
a bandwidth-on-demand protocol that can connect multiple links between two systems to provide bandwidth as needed
Ability To Maintain Packet Sequencing Order And Fragmentation On Larger Packet Sizes
IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 to 128 bits to support more levels of addressing hierarchy and much greater number of addressable nodes and simpler auto-configurable addresses Recently, we’ve added a number of enhancement and options to our IP VPN portfolio

Service Availability
IP Packet Loss
IP Packet Jitter
Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
Inter & Intra Region Latency
All standard SLAs are GC PoP to GC PoP,
With GC Managed Services Prem-to-Prem SLAs may be possible

Following that overview of the benefits of IP convergence and the key business needs of today’s CIO, lets talk about Global Crossing’s Converged Services Model and how it can maximize the value of your Convergence Strategy.
Global Crossing believes that through a holistic approach to convergence, service providers can offer cost-effective business solutions.
A holistic approach to convergence is the implementation of a single communications infrastructure that is capable of supporting the transmission of voice, data and rich media communications over a single physical connection – a converged network communications environment.
Speak to each element as they build
The first level, Converged Connection Types, is the foundation for providing the customer access, connectivity, and bandwidth needs.
The second level represents Global Crossing’s fully meshed global IP network
Third Level – Applications and capabilities available today
4th Level – Network management tools including a full suite of managed solutions and a web-based, self serve portal.
Summarize by indicating that with three converged connection types that have seamless access to applications as well as network management tools, you can customize your network to the specific needs of each location.
