What It Takes To Build MPLS+ Managed Service... Blue Coat works with managed service provider partners to implement the underlying infrastructure that delivers managed services for multi-protocol label switching (MPLS). With the increasing shift to Web-enabled applications and SaaS solutions hosted in the cloud, greater application awareness, intelligence and control are critical to maximize MPLS investments. Organizations continue the consolidation of the data center to contain costs and realize security, compliance and "green IT" benefits. The key is in combining MPLS investments with adjacent application visibility, acceleration and security technologies to more effectively enhance the prioritization of traffic. This solution brief offers the breadth of technologies in a single platform from Blue Coat that empowers service providers to differentiate their MPLS solution and enable the upsell to value-added managed services.
