VODAFONE GLOBAL ENTERPRISE WINS A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT TO PROVIDE DEUTSCHE POST DHL WITH A FULLY MANAGED NETWORK
Vodafone Global Enterprise signs a significant agreement across emerging markets
Vodafone Global Enterprise (VGE), the business in Vodafone that manages the communication needs of its largest Enterprise customers, today announced that it has won the contract to provide Deutsche Post DHL (DPDHL) with a fully managed MPLS* network in 67 countries, connecting over 400 sites across Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa. Specifically, Vodafone Global Enterprise will provide DPDHL with an international Wide Area Network (WAN) across the three regions and a domestic WAN in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The solution enables DPDHL to provide improved tracking capabilities, allowing employees quicker and easier access to vital bespoke applications, as well as providing critical connectivity to DPDHLs data centres in Czech Republic and Malaysia.
Vodafone Global Enterprise consultants worked closely with DPDHL to understand its fixed data network requirements for the Express, Global Forwarding & Freight, and Supply Chain Business Units. Based on these requirements, Vodafone Global Enterprise will implement a fully integrated and managed network ensuring efficient and reliable connectivity.
The fully managed MPLS network has been designed to provide DPDHLs key business units with a resilient, agile and flexible telecoms service to support its growth and deliver greater cost efficiencies, while enhancing the user experience. As well as providing enhanced security and improved performance levels for business-critical applications, the solution demonstrates Vodafones ability to utilise its global capabilities to deliver to specific customer requirements. It also provides DPDHL with a platform on which to build further cost-effective, converged services.
Vodafone Global Enterprise won the contract to provide the fully managed fixed data networks due to its international reach, its expertise in providing telecoms solutions across many countries with diverse operating requirements, and the broadening of its capabilities into the total communications space.
Vodacoms country businesses - Gateway Business Services and Vodacom Business South Africa - have combined with Vodafone Global Enterprise to provide complete connectivity and management between the international networks as well as comprehensive project management support throughout, ensuring that all regions benefit from its global reach and expertise. Gateway Business Services and Vodacom Business South Africa are operating divisions of Vodacom Group Limited, a Vodafone subsidiary.
With Vodafones MPLS solution DPDHL has access to streamlined and reliable telecoms services to improve both productivity and performance says Ralf Weissbeck, Managing Director of IT Services at DPDHL. Vodafone Global Enterprise will help us to deliver on these points by giving us a fully managed and converged next-generation network solution that greatly enhances service reliability and performance while effectively reducing costs.
Leading businesses require solutions and services that give them peace of mind both in terms of delivering value as well as ensuring high quality of service, said Vodafone Global Enterprise CEO, Nick Jeffery. Vodafone Global Enterprise has worked closely with DPDHL to understand their business requirements so that we can offer them a solution that makes it easier and more cost effective to manage their communications in this fast-growing region. By managing their network needs, we enable them to continue to focus squarely on the business they know best.
Notes to the editor:
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks which directs and carries data from one network node to the next. MPLS makes it easy to create virtual links between distant nodes. It can encapsulate packets of various network protocols.
MPLS is a highly scalable, protocol agnostic, data-carrying mechanism. In an MPLS network, data packets are assigned labels. Packet-forwarding decisions are made solely on the contents of this label, without the need to examine the packet itself. This allows one to create end-to-end circuits across any type of transport medium, using any protocol. The primary benefit is to eliminate dependence on a particular Data Link Layer technology, such as ATM, frame relay, SONET or Ethernet, and eliminate the need for multiple Layer 2 networks to satisfy different types of traffic. MPLS belongs to the family of packet-switched networks.
Countries included in the agreement:
· Commonwealth of Independent States / South-East Europe (CIS/SEE) - 10 countries: Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan
· Middle East, North Africa, Turkey -19 countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, UAE, Yemen
· Sub-Saharan Africa - 38 countries: Angola, Botswana, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Congo DRC, Cote dlvoire, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea Republic, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Reunion Island, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe
