Secure global IP VPN WAN networks


IntraSelect from T-Systems is a managed IP VPN solution based on MPLS (multiprotocol label switching). This allows time-sensitive data to be prioritized and, ensures secure, reliable access to centrally hosted applications and cloud services.
IntraSelect Fixed Connect is particularly suited to the integration of corporate sites, providing flexible, scalable bandwidths of up to 10 Gbit/s. T-Systems’ IP VPN solutions offer extremely robust security, creating the ideal basis for implementing IP telephony. IP VPN technology enables application-driven prioritization of certain data types, in line with up to eight classes of service (CoS). It supports service availability levels of up to 99.99 percent.
IntraSelect Remote Connect allows the secure, reliable integration of small-scale sites, teleworkers and mobile professionals into the corporate network via multiple methods (e.g. DSL, LTE, hotspots). Access is possible via a private platform, or over the Internet in conjunction with IPSec/SSL encryption. From 2016, the high-performance overlay network of T-Systems’ partner, Akamai, will enable faster international Internet connectivity to the MPLS platform via IPSec encryption.

Schleswig-Holstein is Germany’s northernmost federal state. It has a total area of 15,764 square kilometers, and is home to about 2,780,000 people; its population density is therefore comparatively low. As a result, it is difficult for government agencies to establish effective organizational structures and to deliver high-quality services to all citizens. The Ministry of the Interior, in particular, with its broad remit, needs a powerful, efficient communications infrastructure. Its responsibilities include, for example, policing, homeland security, and regulation of the construction industry.

The challenge

  • Replacement of five independent communications networks with a single, consolidated network for both voice and data
  • Implementation of voice over IP (VoIP) at 700 sites
  • Assignment of quality of service to data and voice traffic
  • Support for closed user groups for specific agencies and sites by means of VPNs (virtual private networks)

The solution

  • Integrated MPLS voice and data network infrastructure for 80 agencies with 320 offices and 40,000 employees
  • Direct broadband connections to the MPLS backbone for all IT systems and PBXs via access routers and VoIP gateways

Future-proof communications with IP VPNs

Networks have to be adaptable and agile, capable of accommodating changing business needs. IP VPNs provide an answer to challenges such as growing data volumes and the demand for seamless collaboration across multiple sites – in the shape of a simple, scalable solution. They enable powerful connections to be forged between people, sites and applications.

MPLS-based connectivity

IntraSelect is an IP VPN offering, comprising a choice of connectivity modules for integration of permanent sites, mobile employees and extranets. It is possible to vary bandwidth, increase the number of sites or add new services in line with changing business requirements. Key elements include the highly functional MPLS platform for managed connections, and new features for smart, efficient data transport.

Integration of small-scale sites at low cost 

Platforms such as IntraSelect harness path-based routing to distribute load efficiently in line with application needs, and to enable dynamic responses to resource bottlenecks. Platform solutions allow flexibility when choosing the most suitable technology for each access point. In other words, it is possible to deploy highly affordable low-bandwidth lines for small-scale sites, and to implement broadband for major offices and cloud service providers – with one and the same platform. It also means quick-and-easy scalability should load increase. 
Traffic offloading and other mechanisms enable the utilization of otherwise idle backup resources during regular operations. For example, a secure connection is configured as an additional transmission path, and employed for back-up purposes as well as for accommodating peaks in load. Low-priority traffic is offloaded, ensuring the cost-effective use of existing assets.

Worldwide connectivity guarantees high quality and availability

IntraSelect is produced on T-Systems’ high-performance IP MPLS platform, supporting approximately 4,047,000,000 megabytes (4.0 petabytes) of IP traffic daily and worldwide. This backbone platform enables global data exchange, in combination with exceptionally high availability, a large number of PoPs, and rapid rerouting. The worldwide network infrastructure, with approximately 300,000 kilometers of fiber-optic cables, is constantly beeing extended and enhanced. Currently, T-Systems manages more than 1,800 IP VPNs for some 68,000 sites, and 278,000 routers and switches at customer locations around the globe.
