  5. The EarthLink Umbrella

  6. Networks and Access Private IP Networks • MPLS (T1 and DSL access) Secure Public Networks • CPE-Based VPN • ReadyOffice Business Internet Access • DSL • T1|T3

  7. Carriers We Provision For Include… New Edge supplies many carriers with xDSL access elements nationwide, including:

  8. New Edge Customers Include… Partial List

  9. Identifying the Need for MPLS • Do you need a WAN with disaster recovery capabilities? • Are you planning to add or move locations? • Are you planning to implement VoIP? • Are you planning to implement Citrix? • Are you planning to implement video? • Do you transfer large files? • Are you experiencing latency problems? • Do you want to add bandwidth to your Frame network? • Do you want more applications (without buying more bandwidth)? • Is your current WAN is more than three years old?

  10. New Edge MPLS Backbone

  11. Key Learnings • Applications drive the network design,not the other way around. • Thoughtful network design ensures scalability. • Private networks drive predictable application performance. • Close coordination is required on all aspects of network – e.g., application integration, installations and deployment. • Getting the right services at every location can be complicated – it often requires a mix of access technologies and multiple vendors.

  12. MPLS Benefits • Increase Productivity • Optimize performance for existing applications • Add new applications/technologies easily • Facilitate the growing peer-to-peer paradigm • Simplify moves, adds, and changes • Increase Security • MPLS eliminates public Internet security threats • MPLS supports disaster recovery • Improve Your Bottom Line • MPLS has a lower total cost of ownership • MPLS uses bandwidth more cost-effectively

  13. MPLS vs. the Rest Frame Internet MPLS Relay VPNs Cost-Effectiveness:Supports multiple access types Efficiency:Supports application prioritization Latency:Supports Quality of Service Voice:Predictable VoIP performance IP Addressing:Simple to add/move sites

  14. MPLS vs. the Rest Frame Internet MPLS Relay VPNs Dynamic Routing:Reduces complexity of disaster recovery Security:Private and immune to Internet threats Scalability:Cost-effective bandwidth, interoperability Investment:Low total cost of ownership Deployment:Predictable installation from the LEC

  15. No Hidden Costs • No additional monthly cost for Class 1 • Each network is custom designed and quoted • Custom profile built for each customer—no cookie cutters • Managed CPE included in monthly quote unless BYO is noted • Project management and network monitoring included • Dedicated project management • Real-time network status and real-time deployment progress via Google Maps interface, NetVisual

  16. MPLS Access Elements • Supports multiple access elements, including T1 and DSL • New Edge is the first provider to offer true CoS using DSL access • Fills traditional gap between DSL and TI pricing and service levels • Puts MPLS network benefits within reach of more SMBs • Integrates DSL and T1 access to fit business needs “New Edge Networks combines CoS and DSL in a way that hasn’t been done before . . . [This] has the potential to be a game-changing move.” —Current Analysis, Competitive Intelligence Report

  26. What These MPLS Customers Say IDEAL SERVICE PROVIDER We needed a more reliable network and a provider who understands us. The solutions, level of contact and expertise that we get from New Edge make them the ideal network provider for us. Dennis Mahon Vice President of IT AC Coin & Slot Working with a communications provider that cares as much for our two sites as we care for each child in our centers is an important consideration for selecting our service providers. New Edge Networks has been consistently responsive and flexible with the planning and installation of our network… Florin Berevoescu Manager of IT Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center RESPONSIVE PROVIDER

  27. What These MPLS Customers Say INCREASE THE BOTTOM LINE We wanted to have a really flexible platform going into the future, and our ATM network would have handcuffed us. MPLS gives us much greater flexibility as well as better security and more bandwidth, at a lower overall cost. Joel Commaford Network Administrator Nott Company We tripled our capacity, replaced 10-year-old network equipment, outsourced network management to New Edge, and didn’t pay a dime more than what we were paying for a legacy frame relay network. But the real value from our new MPLS network will come from improved efficiency and productivity when it is fully operational this summer. Our network will extend our competitive advantages. Tad Williams Network Administrator Satellite Shelters MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY, ADD VALUE
