Verizon to Help Polaris Streamline Global Sites
Global communications and IT solutions provider Verizon Business informs
that Polaris Software Lab, an IT services company in India, has selected
Verizon Business to streamline its global sites and enhance business
communications. Verizon Private IP will be used to connect different
sites.
Verizon
says that Verizon Private IP is being rolled out across Polaris Software
Lab's global network to provide a secure, resilient foundation that
offers reliability and flexibility. In addition, the multiprotocol-label-switching
(MPLS) based service can easily be scaled to support the company's
ongoing global expansion plans.
Polaris
Software Lab develops software and business solutions for the global
banking, financial and insurance sectors. Headquartered in Chennai, the
company employs over 10,000 tech workers around the world, working from
sites in Australia, India, Singapore, and the United States.
The
company aims to maximize the potential of its global network
infrastructure to facilitate swift and secure exchange of
business-critical information across key voice, data, and various
enterprise applications to support software-development projects, says
Verizon.
In
addition, the company plans to achieve significant cost and management
efficiencies, as well as enhanced redundancy and resilience.
V.
Balakrishnan, Polaris Software Lab's chief information officer, said:
"We have historically operated on point-to-point networks, which offered
neither the reliability nor flexibility we needed to support our
continued global expansion. We needed a communications platform that
would essentially future-proof our business in terms of both
geographical expansion and technical capabilities. Verizon Business
combined a strong technology solution with global presence, local
expertise and strong service to give us a solution that would support
both our current and future communications needs."
Verizon
Private IP -- a network-based, virtual private network (VPN) -- offers
customers secure, scalable and flexible network connections with
integrated performance- and traffic-management capabilities. The
solution, according to the company, will not only support the fast and
efficient addition of new sites as the company expands, but also provide
the capacity for future IP-based conferencing and unified communications
solutions to enhance global collaboration.
