Reason to Act

Many performance critical services require performance levels that cannot be easily met by shared IP services. In particular data center backup and replication, real-time mission critical services and broadcast quality video need traffic isolation that dedicated circuits offer.

However multi-national circuits are typically expensive, have long lead times for delivery and tie the user in to long service contracts.

GÉANT Plus provides a simple answer to this: short delivery time and no additional cost providing existing interfaces are used
