"We were looking for a provider that could meet our strict technical requirements and provide the reliability that's essential to our business," said Brian Jester, Director of IT for Ascentium. "We have six locations across the country that require high-bandwidth capabilities for the production and the delivery of our customers' campaigns. Although, some of our locations could easily access the tw telecom network, they also built fiber into a key location so that we could have a complete network solution. This demonstrated to us that tw telecom was willing to do what was necessary for us to be successful."
The six-site IP VPN serves Ascentium's headquarters and data center locations in Bellevue, Wash., as well as its strategic offices located in Spokane, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore and Los Angeles. The company also installed two 100-Mbps Ethernet connections to support data center activities and make available shared network assets at its headquarters and data center locations. Additionally, Ascentium has a 50 Mbps Ethernet-based Internet Service (EIS) at its headquarters location and the company deployed local and long distance voices services from tw telecom.
"Our customers rely on us to deliver premium services that help promote and support their products and we have found that tw telecom does the same thing for Ascentium," continued Jester. "We rely on tw telecom to support us and we enjoy the fact that we can talk directly with our local team and not some rep in a call center. That's the kind of collaborative relationship with a provider that we were seeking."
"From the start, we worked closely with Ascentium to identify their needs and provide solutions that met those needs," said David King, Vice President and General Manager for tw telecom in Washington. "Multi-city, multi-site IP VPN has become the solution that customers demand as they integrate their business communications. IP VPN's any-to-any connectivity is highly secure, flexible and perfect for businesses that have multiple locations that need to be connected to one another."
