New Designations Lead to Enhanced Customer Solutions

BellSouth received two new Cisco Powered Network Designations during October: Network VPN and Managed Security. These designations pave the way for a variety of new services based on Cisco equipment, ensuring faster turn-up of new applications, less network down-time, easy resolution of network and equipment problems, robust security policies and solutions, and direct integration with other Cisco equipment.

BellSouth® Managed Security Service offerings include:

• Managed Firewall
• Intrusion detection and response
• Anti-virus
• Security scanning

Customers enjoy best-in-class security with minimal capital investments, enhancing their reputations as companies that safeguard information.

BellSouth® Network VPN Service can be used for a variety of communication needs, including:

• Remote-office connectivity
• Disaster recovery
• Storage area networking
• Voice transport
• Intranet/extranet applications

Based on a robust, MPLS-based virtual private network, it is a cost-effective alternative to ATM or frame relay services.
