today’s customer has a non-negotiable checklist: their network offering must leverage the very best infrastructure; suppliers should be committed to the spirit of partnership and collaboration; and they should offer complementary ‘value-add’ services that sweat the network asset – to do more with less.
it’s a no nonsense blueprint for success, and it underpins the design of intechnology’s next generation ‘enhanced mpls‘ networking proposition.
the enterprise network is the strong, rugged backbone of every modern business. but the complexities of convergence, the drive for extra capacity & capability and the pressure on cost control demand a new standard of network provision – from a new breed of provider.
A NEW BREED OF PROVIDER /
OUR NETWORK PROPOSITION /
The ultimate connectivity
our multi-million pound ‘enhanced mpls‘ network is a carefully engineered composite of best-of-breed technology. the first layer is our own high speed, high bandwidth fibre network ring which runs through the spine of the uk, from glasgow and edinburgh in the north to london and reading in the south.
the next layer adds 98% uk population reach and further resilience via managed links into tier 1 network providers. thereafter we provide the widest choice of connectivity to this network (including ethernet, adsl and leased lines as well as 3g wireless backup solutions) but again are highly selective in our choice of partner and only engage with the leading vendors.
the final layer in our ‘enhanced mpls‘ network is an ongoing ‘hands and eyes’ support service, provided by our team of experienced network engineers who monitor your network’s performance 24 /365 from our state-of-the-art network operations centre. it’s an expert resource that you can count on to carry the load, and will help you forge a commercial relationship that is based on responsiveness, integrity and trust.
on such foundations are built robust, dynamic partnerships. partnerships that can transform performance, maximise return and deliver long-term value. at intechnology our network is the conduit to value-add services. not just a vpn but the access point – at a time that suits you – to start the journey into cloud computing and migrate to fully managed pay-as-you-go services including data backup, hosted virtual servers, hosted ip telephony and unified communications.
More than a piece of wireif you only want site-to-site connectivity, that’s fine. if you only want a basic vpn, that’s fine too. but we can give you so much more. by building your solution around our network ring we’ll give you a future-proofed conduit (for use if and when the time is right for you) to the uk’s most complete suite of pay-as-you-go managed voice and data services. designed with you in mind to save on cost, guarantee budget predictability, enhance productivity and help build agility,our network is so much more than a piece of wire.
our ‘enhanced mpls’ network service meets a fundamental business need – that your network must be much more than ‘just a piece of wire’.

intechnology has been providing managed network services for more than 20 years. we are a trusted partner to more than 800 commercial and public sector organisations and one of the very few managed service providers that are accredited to supply secure n3 connections to the nhs. we are also the service partner of choice to the academic sector via Janet and we are endorsed by the mod.
we currently manage more than 20,000 network connections and have an enviable record of technology firsts. for example, we developed one of the uk’s first business isps (planet online); one of the first consumer isps (freeserve); and one of the first corporate hosted ip telephony services (‘unity’). however, our core focus remains the optimisation of managed network services and the rolling upgrade to our £100m support infrastructure.
our multi-million pound ‘enhanced mpls’ network is a carefully engineered composite of best-of-breed technology. it comprises our own end-to-end next generation fibre network ring with fully managed links into tier 1 carriers to guarantee our customers the widest coverage, the best resilience and the highest performance standards.
our service is not a ‘wires-only’ service. it’s so much more. we’ll work with you to scope your requirements and help you think through your network strategy; we’ll provide a full network design service; we’ll provide the best possible implementation and migration service; and when the solution is in, tested and operational we’ll provide ongoing ‘hands and eyes’ support 24/365 from our state-of-the-art network operations centre.
our access /connectivity choices are amongst the broadest and best in the industry: adsl, fttc, ethernet, fibre, copper (leased line and efm). a highly experienced sales and support team helps customers define their requirements – and choose with confidence.
our network is a carefully planned and well engineered hybrid. in connecting to our network, our customers get the double benefit of rock solid vpn plus, at a time that’s right for them, a seamless conduit to cloud based computing: a benefit-rich pool of fully managed, pay-as-you-go services embracing everything from data backup and hosted virtual servers to hosted ip telephony and unified communications solutions designed to save on cost – huge cost in some cases – but importantly also deliver competitive advantage and business agility.
our core network is fully meshed, self-healing and automatically re-routes traffic in the event of a fibre break. it’s monitored 24 hours a day, every day, by experienced engineers using the latest monitoring software and fault isolation tools to ensure the best restoration service possible. we have achieved 99.999% network availability over the last 3 years and our high availability promise is backed up by solid slas.
our management systems provide both proactive and reactive monitoring, along with capacity planning, trending and network performance. our systems provide assurance that agreed services are being monitored end-to-end, while our customer reporting portal provides our customers with total visibility of key network and service performance metrics.
for us, it’s not just about providing a great solution and the right technology, it’s about building an enduring relationship in which you can have confidence that we’ll always put your best interests first. we’ll always strive to give you the best advice and we’ll work hard to uphold the traditional values of honesty and integrity in all we do together.
