WAN (Leased Line)

Service Description

An ultrafast dedicated leased line. By default, all WAN fibre connectivity provided by Panoptics is delivered to the customer’s site using Layer 2 point to point circuit’s backhauled to our data centres using either Virgin Media or BT circuits. Internet breakout is then provided from all Datacentres using multiple carriers.

By delivering connectivity this way, a number of value added services can be offered which would not otherwise be easily achievable using traditional DIA (dedicated internet access), such as;

• Hosted Telephony
• BaaS (Backup as a service)
• Site to Site connectivity with local internet break out
• Shared or dedicated firewalling
• Support for multiple VLAN tagging across a single fibre (QinQ)

Businesses with multiple sites no longer require VPN technology to establish inter-site connectivity regardless of distance. By allocating a private VLAN over the leased line fibre connection to our datacentres at two or more sites, customers can communicate using existing internal IP address ranges transparently.

Panoptics also guarantee that each customer receives the amount of bandwidth being paid for and constantly monitor inbound and outbound connections in order to aid customer troubleshooting should any issues arise.

The connection provided is delivered using a dedicated layer 2 point to point circuit back to one of our data centres which is then broken out to the internet. Each datacentre has available spare bandwidth in excess of 20 Gbps. There is no contention ratio applied resulting in your business always achieving the bandwidth ordered.

Primary upstream connectivity from the datacentres is provided by Cogent Communications who are one of the most connected ASN’s resulting in a significant portion of internet traffic only one hop away.
