| OfferingOffdfOffering | The GÉANT L3VPN service offers the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) the ability to profit from the network reach and versatility of the GÉANT network for multi-point to multi-point connections over great distances | ||||||||||||
| Reason to Act | Many research projects require the additional security and reassurance of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to ensure data services are isolated from general IP traffic. GÉANT L3VPN can provide privately routed networks over the existing GÉANT infrastructure from/to any connected locations in Europe, North America and China. | ||||||||||||
| Customer Experience | L3VPN offers a cost-effective solution for teams requiring many-to-many site connectivity support where GÉANT Plus virtual circuits would be too complex to administer. The service is delivered over the GÉANT IP network, it takes full advantage of the statistical multiplexing available at the IP layer and it is available for all NRENs (sharing the NREN's existing IP capacity.) | ||||||||||||
| Benefits | Robust: L3VPN services provide automated re-routing and recovery. Flexible: Ideally suited for many-to-many connectivity requirements. High capacity: Up to 100Gbps services are available. Fast delivery: Only 5 days to deliver, no additional hardware requirements. Extended footprint: Available to all GÉANT NRENs, allowing for connectivity to North America, China and more. Cost effective: No additional cost to setup a multipoint-to-multipoint connection with the standard GÉANT L3VPN service subscription. | ||||||||||||
| Cost | The GÉANT L3VPN Service is available for all GÉANT NRENs wishing to use it. It is included in the standard IP subscription, and the configuration of the VLANS supporting the different circuits is done when a new service is requested. There are no additional cost for up to 10 L3VPN per NREN and up to 12 sites per VPN. If more L3VPNs are required or more sites per VPN additional costs apply. For any information about bespoke solutions, including additional, dedicated interfaces and/or connectors outside the GÉANT network, please contact the GÉANT Partner Relations Team: partner-relations@geant.net | ||||||||||||
