Grundfos uses this IP VPN for the transfer of business data between its global production and distribution facilities that includes e-mail traffic, SAP applications, Internet access and VoIP services.
The AT&T network uses Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology that provides Grundfos with any-to-any connectivity and prioritization of business applications.
Eli Schroeder, infrastructure manager at Grundfos headquarters said;
We have found AT&T to be a consistently highly professional and value-focused company. Our long-term relationship continues to offer reliable and highly advanced networking solutions that can accommodate the geographic expanse of our business and support our day-to-day operations. Moving into a key market like China is critical for us and AT&T has been able to demonstrate it has the network reach and ability to serve our needs there.
