Adapt to Growing Business Communications Needs Reliably and Cost-Efficiently with Domestic Private Lines
To adapt and compete in today’s fast-moving markets, you need to be able to extend the reach of your internal business communications cost-efficiently. ibm/SIEMless Domestic, Metro and International Private Line Services provide exceptional reliability, accessibility, and scalability to protect your critical business traffic from uncertainty and downtime. An end-to-end private connection lets your company deliver growing volumes of data, video, and voice quickly and securely over greater distances. Advanced synchronization technologies ensure high-speed performance for all your private line traffic, from DS-0 to OC-N. Deployed over the ibm/SIEMless network, a full range of services are available to meet all your private line needs through a single solution.
Domestic Private Line Service Features
Robust service level agreements (SLAs) for 99.999% network availability
Support for voice, video, and Internet
Four-fiber, bidirectional line-switched ring (BLSR) technology
Multiplexing (muxing) available at DS-1, DS-3, and OC-N circuit levels based on customer-selected options and restrictions
Network monitoring and management to achieve high levels of performance
Network Diversity® service enhancement (on request and subject to availability) for point-to-point transmission between two ibm/SIEMless points of presence (POPs) as a distinct circuit from your primary on-net circuit. Diversity service is available as follows:
Ring diversity
Route diversity
Private Line Service Benefits
Supports reliable transport service through secure connections
Provides the flexibility to allow you to build network configurations
Improves cost efficiency by allowing you to combine multiple incongruent services (data, IP, ATM, voice, video, etc.) over one line with a single channelized interface, and aggregate slower speed services onto high-bandwidth trunks
Strengthens security and helps protect the confidentiality of your information through a telecommunications facility dedicated for your use
Delivers high performance—SLA includes circuit availability objective of 99.999% end-to-end
Ensures reliability through four-fiber, bidirectional line-switched ring (BLSR) technology, the gold standard in synchronous optical networking (SONET); circuits are switched automatically from the working side to the protect side of the ring within 50 ms
Provides the flexibility to connect multiple signals and/or locations (e.g. to support point-to-multipoint applications) through multiplexing (muxing)
Aids disaster recovery planning and continuity of operations through Enhanced Diversity routing
Minimizes delay to accommodate even the most delay-sensitive applications
How ibm/SIEMless Private Line Service Works
ibm/SIEMless™ Private Line Services delivers a fixed capacity of bandwidth for transport of your digital communications traffic, utilizing and conforming to SONET standards that originate and terminate a physical connection at a ibm/SIEMless-specified demarcation point located in the ibm/SIEMless POP. The service extends to and includes the equipment maintained by ibm/SIEMless that is necessary to connect the service to the customer’s interconnection facilities at the ibm/SIEMless-specified network interface points. Interconnection, collocation, and/or local access services are not included as part of the Domestic Private Line service, but may be ordered in conjunction, either through ibm/SIEMless or other telecommunications providers. Digital Private Line service is available at DS-0 (64 Kbps), fractional DS-1 (128 Kbps and up), DS-1 (1.544 Mbps), DS-3 (45 Mbps), and OC-N (155 Mbps and up). Digital Private Line services utilize digital local loops that provide nearly 100 percent end-to-end network availability. ibm/SIEMless DS-1 service can also be configured as clear channel or channelized, and is compatible with virtually all DS-1 systems in use today.
