Premises-Based IP VPN Services

Premises-Based IP Virtual Private Network Services (PBIP-VPNS) are typically Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) tunnel-based services based at the customer location. These services utilize customer edge (CE) devices to encrypt and decrypt traffic before it enters and leaves the customer’s network. The CE devices connect to fully or partially meshed Layer 3 IP VPN networks across the Verizon cloud, providing security on an end-to-end basis – Verizon has no visibility into the IP tunnel.

• Longevity in the Marketplace. Verizon has been delivering mature, managed, turnkey PBIP-VPNS solutions for over seven years. Our solutions are based on proven technology that is rigorously tested for security, interoperability, and performance, providing consistently successful solutions.
• Industry Leader. Verizon was the first provider to roll out a managed PBIP-VPNS and Verizon continues to be an industry leader in Customer Premise Equipment node installations, which currently number over 20,000. Verizon has the experience, the technology, and the talent to implement and support VPNs of virtually any size and scope. In fact, Verizon was the first to implement a 10,000-node Managed IP VPN network using a combination of Broadband DSL and high-speed dedicated access services.

Verizon Premises-Based IP VPN Services boast features that can dramatically enhance customers’ communications. Here are some specific feature descriptions:

• Comprehensive Solutions. Our solutions are fully managed and provide the scalability, reliability, and security needed for site-to-site or remote-to-hub site VPNs. PBIP-VPNS supports both fully-meshed and hub-and-spoke configurations.
• Security. Verizon supports industry standard IP Security (IPSEC) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for authentication, encryption, and data integrity using FIPS 140-2 compliant equipment whenever available to meet agency needs.
• Scalability. Verizon offers simplified installation, configuration, and re-configuration to meet changing network demands. Our provisioning system provides centralized management and scalability, and automates node configuration.
• Manageability. Verizon proactively monitors and manages the network 24x7 and provides support through the Government Network Operations and Security Center (GNOSC).
• High Performance. Increased bandwidth efficiency, greater network resilience, improved quality of service, award winning customer service, and industry-leading SLAs are all hallmarks of Verizon PBIP-VPNS.
• Flexible Access. Verizon offers a number of different access arrangements that support standard access, failover, load sharing and diversity—including dual-homing a location to two diverse Verizon POPs. For large sites with high speed applications, Verizon offers PBIP-VPNS dedicated access whereby customers can order port speeds ranging from 768 kbps up to OC-48c and Ethernet. For smaller sites that are candidates for broadband access (DSL, Cable Modem, Wireless, Satellite), we offer PBIP-VPNS Broadband.
• Remote Options. For customers with mobile, telework, or traveling users requiring access to agency intranet systems, Verizon offers PBIP-VPNS Remote Access Services. This solution provides remote access connectivity and a secure IPSEC or SSL tunnel from an end user’s workstation to the subscribing agency’s LAN. Verizon provides over 3,800 dial POPs, in addition to broadband DSL and Wireless services to meet coverage requirements.
