MPLS network services are still the gold standard
For predictable performance and complete control over your business network, MPLS can’t be beaten, delivering private, secure connectivity with guaranteed service levels, and a clear path to modernisation when you’re ready.
The challenge
Some workloads demand more than the internet can offer. For voice, video, and latency-sensitive applications, unpredictable performance can quickly erode productivity and customer experience. Businesses in regulated sectors also face strict compliance requirements that call for deterministic, private connectivity.
Yet many MPLS deployments have evolved over years without review. They often run at higher cost than necessary, lack the flexibility to connect directly to cloud services, and can’t easily accommodate new sites without lengthy lead times. Without a plan to modernise, organisations risk paying more for less agility, even when they only need MPLS in part of the network.
Our solution
Our MPLS services deliver a layer 3 VPN private network with class of service and robust SLAs, engineering traffic paths to protect critical workloads and provide diverse circuits for resilience.
For organisations looking to evolve, we design hybrid MPLS and SD-WAN solutions, retaining MPLS where it’s needed most while introducing more flexible, cost-effective connectivity elsewhere. This approach safeguards performance today while giving you a low-risk path to modernisation.
Reliability assured
Blocks threats before they reach users, across devices, locations and cloud email platforms.
Full control
Delivers advanced protection through one cloud-based solution that works seamlessly with existing tools.
Expert support
Identifies and stops phishing, impersonation and zero-day attacks with real-time analysis.
Scales seamlessly
Prevents data loss and supports governance with policy enforcement and reporting.
Who it’s for
Businesses running voice, video, or transactional applications that require guaranteed performance.
Operations in regulated sectors needing private, compliant connectivity.
IT teams planning a phased transition from MPLS to SD-WAN.
Key benefits
Deterministic performance for latency-sensitive workloads with QoS and traffic prioritisation.
Hybrid-ready architecture that supports gradual migration to SD-WAN where appropriate.
Private connectivity that keeps critical data off the public internet.
Resilient design with diverse circuits and automatic failover between routes.

Our point of view
“MPLS still has a clear role in modern networking, especially for workloads that can’t tolerate performance variability. The challenge is that too many businesses run it everywhere, even where it’s no longer the best fit. This leads to higher costs and slower adaptation to change.
Our approach is pragmatic, keeping MPLS where it delivers real value, but integrated it into a broader connectivity strategy that includes internet, cloud, and SD-WAN. That way, customers gain the reliability and compliance they need without sacrificing flexibility or overspending on circuits that aren’t critical.”

The real FAQs for MPLS
Whether you’re evaluating MPLS for the first time, reviewing an existing contract, or planning a migration to SD-WAN, it’s important to understand where it makes commercial sense, otherwise it can quickly become a costly mistake.
Why choose MPLS over internet-only connectivity?
MPLS offers deterministic performance, ensuring latency, jitter, and packet loss stay within tight parameters. This makes it ideal for site to site connectivity where voice, video, mission-critical application performance and predictable behaviour are all essential.
Can we keep MPLS for some sites and use other options elsewhere?
Yes. We design hybrid WANs that retain MPLS where it’s essential while using SD-WAN or internet for other locations, using a broad range of UK MPLS providers. This maintains performance for critical workloads while reducing costs and increasing flexibility.
How do you ensure resilience in an MPLS network?
We design diverse access routes, dual circuits, and automatic failover to minimise downtime. Regular testing confirms that failover mechanisms work as intended.
What kind of reporting is provided?
We deliver SLA reports, plus detailed analytics on latency, jitter, and packet loss. This transparency helps validate performance and supports proactive network planning.
Can MPLS connect directly to cloud services?
Yes. We can integrate MPLS with secure cloud gateways, enabling private, consistent connectivity to platforms like AWS, Azure, or private cloud environments.
Is migration from MPLS to SD-WAN disruptive?
No. We can phase migrations to SD-WAN by application, site, or region, ensuring minimal impact on day-to-day operations. Pilots and staged rollouts further reduce risk.
How long are MPLS contract terms?
Terms vary by provider and circuit type. We help negotiate contracts that balance cost efficiency with the flexibility to adapt when requirements change.
