BASKING RIDGE, N.J. -- Verizon Business has further enhanced its global Private IP footprint to support the evolving data needs of its global customer base. The company continues to add a significant number of Private IP nodes in key growth territories around the world, and has also enhanced both DSL and Ethernet access capabilities.

As a result, more customers than ever can now benefit from a direct and secure, high-performance link to the Verizon Business global multiprotocol- label-switching (MPLS) network, the foundation for Verizon Business' portfolio of next-generation products and services.

"Verizon Business really gets the importance of providing converged access options globally to Private IP customers," said Sandra O'Boyle, research director, Business Telecom Services Europe for Current Analysis. "In our April 2008 research of global MPLS IP VPN services, Verizon Business stands out from competitors in terms of its extensive support for Ethernet access to Private IP, which is now available in 20 European countries."
