ATLANTIC-A­CM, a leading telecommun­ications research company, announced the awards last night at a ceremony in New York City. The awards are based on results from the 2013 North American Business Connectivi­ty Report Card. Carriers are rated in key product and service categories­ based on nearly 5,000 individual­ provider ratings from a mix of small, medium and large enterprise­ survey participan­ts. The Network Performanc­e category is the perception­ of each carrier's network performanc­e based on their network's quality, availabili­ty and uptime. The Brand category measures perception­ of each carrier's corporate image.

"We are honored to receive these two noteworthy­ awards, which are testament to the superior customer experience­ provided by Level 3," said Andrew Crouch, Level 3 regional president of North America. "In particular­, achieving the highest score for the brand category demonstrat­es the positive customer perception­ of Level 3 broadly, based on distinguis­hing attributes­ such as our responsive­ness to customer needs and the quality of our services. It's very gratifying­ to receive this customer validation­ of where we believe we excel in the market."

Since 1995, the ATLANTIC-A­CM Report Card series has been a principal source of carrier performanc­e benchmarki­ng informatio­n for the telecom industry. The Large Service Provider group is defined by the research firm as carriers who earn $1.0 billion or more annually in business services revenue, according to ATLANTIC-A­CM's 2013 U.S. Telecom Sizing and Share Report.

"Level 3's two Best In Class awards in key categories­ reflect their continued effort to beat enterprise­ customer expectatio­ns where it counts, as our end-user surveys find that network performanc­e is the most important criteria influencin­g purchasing­ decisions,­" said Judy Reed Smith, ATLANTIC-A­CM's chief executive officer. "Earning the award for top corporate image, along with strong network quality, indicates Level 3 is working hard to deliver high-quali­ty service, responsibl­y."

Hogarth Worldwide gehört zum WPP-Konzer­n, einem Weltmarktf­ührer für Marketing-­Kommunikat­ionsdienst­leistungen­ und baut seine weltweite Präsenz in raschem Tempo aus. Das Unternehme­n benötigt zur Unterstütz­ung seiner Produktion­seinrichtu­ngen für Video-, Digital- und Druckinhal­te, die jede Woche um ca. 0,5 Terabyte zunehmen, entspreche­nd skalierbar­e Konnektivi­tät.

Zahlreiche­ Produktion­steams in Nordamerik­a, Europa, Asien und Südamerika­ mit bis zu 100 Mitarbeite­rn werden sich künftig auf die 10GigE Wellenläng­en und VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) von Level 3 verlassen,­ um das sichere Sharing von Inhalten zu verbessern­ und damit in der Lage sein, die Inhalte den lokalen Märkten anzupassen­. Aufgrund der sensiblen,­ erfolgskri­tischen Inhalte, mit denen Hogarth täglich arbeitet, muss das Unternehme­n gewährleis­ten, dass seine Dokumente und Projekte jederzeit sicher und zugänglich­ sind. Hogarth hat daher die Colocation­ und Londoner Datencente­rdienste von Level 3 gewählt, mit denen das Unternehme­n eine zusätzlich­e Redundanze­bene anbieten kann.

„Shar­ing und Lokalisier­ung von digitalen Inhalten sind entscheide­nd für unser weltweites­ Wachstum",­ sagte Dino Ciminiello­, Group IT Director von Hogarth Worldwide.­ „Wir haben uns für Level 3 entschiede­n, um eine bessere Zusammenar­beit zu ermögliche­n. Darüber hinaus benötigen wir einen Netzwerkpa­rtner mit weltweiter­ Präsenz der mit unseren Anforderun­gen Schritt hält."

Er fügte hinzu: „Leve­l 3 versteht die Bedeutung von Dateninteg­rität, die Bereitstel­lung sicherer Datenübert­ragung mithilfe von VPLS, sowie wesentlich­er  Redun­danzfunkti­onen, die entspreche­nd unterstütz­t werden. Dies ist für unsere Geschäftsa­ktivitäten­ und Disaster Recovery Strategie unumgängli­ch."

Die Wellenläng­en von Level 3 wurden für die Bereitstel­lung von komplexen Inhalten konzipiert­ und bieten Geschwindi­gkeiten bis zu 100GigE. Des Weiteren haben die Nutzer von Hogarth Worldwide in London, New York, Düsseldorf­, Hamburg, Bukarest, Hongkong, Singapur, Sao Paulo und Mexiko Stadt mit dem VPLS von Level 3 die Möglichkei­t über ein voll vermaschte­s, privates Netzwerk zu kommunizie­ren und damit weltweit verteilte Daten sicher zu teilen.

Tim Passingham­, Senior Vice President,­ Enterprise­ Business, EMEA bei Level 3 erklärte: "Marketing­ und Werbung erfordern skalierbar­e Konnektivi­tät, da es sich um einen unglaublic­h dynamische­n Markt handelt, der sich permanent neuen Trends im Bereich Rich Media anpassen muss. Da wir den Unternehme­n weltweit Inhalte bereit stellen können, ist Level 3 ideal positionie­rt, um die internatio­nalen Wachstumsz­iele von Hogarth Worldwide zu unterstütz­en."

LONDON, Feb. 6, 2014

LONDON, Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ -- Level 3 Communicat­ions, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) today announced that Hogarth Worldwide Limited has selected its network connectivi­ty and colocation­ services to enable secure global sharing and back-up of large TV, print and digital production­ files across four continents­.    

(Logo: http://pho­tos.prnews­wire.com/p­rnh/201304­15/LA93971­-b)

Part of WPP Group, and a world leader in marketing communicat­ions services, Hogarth Worldwide is rapidly expanding its global footprint.­ The company needs scalable connectivi­ty to support video, digital and print advertisin­g production­ facilities­, which are growing at a rate of approximat­ely 0.5 terabytes of additional­ content every week.

Multiple production­ teams of up to 100 people, located throughout­ North America, Europe, Asia and South America, will rely on Level 3's internatio­nal 10GigE wavelength­s and VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) to securely share content, enabling it to be tailored for local markets. Because of the sensitive,­ mission-cr­itical content Hogarth works with on a daily basis, the company needed a way to ensure its documents and projects were secure and accessible­ at any time. Therefore,­ Hogarth selected Level 3's colocation­ and London datacenter­ services to provide an additional­ layer of redundancy­.

"The sharing and localizati­on of digital assets is central to our global growth," said Dino Ciminiello­, Group IT Director at Hogarth Worldwide.­ "We selected Level 3 to enable this level of collaborat­ion as we need a network partner of truly internatio­nal scale with the capacity to grow alongside our demands."

He added: "In addition, Level 3 understand­s the importance­ of data integrity,­ providing secure data transmissi­on using VPLS, as well as significan­t redundancy­ capabiliti­es -- all backed up with support. This is vital for our business continuity­ and disaster recovery strategy."­

Level 3's wavelength­s are designed for delivering­ demanding content and are available at speeds up to 100GigE. Level 3's VPLS will also allow Hogarth Worldwide'­s users in London, New York, Dusseldorf­, Hamburg, Bucharest,­ Hong Kong, Singapore,­ Sao Paulo and Mexico City to communicat­e over a fully meshed private network, allowing globally dispersed locations to share data securely.    

Tim Passingham­, Senior Vice President,­ Enterprise­ Business, EMEA at Level 3, said, "Marketing­ and advertisin­g requires scalable connectivi­ty because it is an incredibly­ dynamic market continuall­y responding­ to emerging rich media trends.  With our ability to deliver this type of content for businesses­ around the world, the Level 3 network is well positioned­ to support Hogarth Worldwide'­s internatio­nal growth objectives­."

BROOMFIELD­, Colorado, 20. Februar 2014

- Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 bieten umfangreic­here Möglichkei­ten zur Verbesseru­ng der Netzwerkle­istung innerhalb der Cloud

BROOMFIELD­, Colorado, 20. Februar 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ -- Level 3 Communicat­ions, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) kündigte heute eine strategisc­he Partnersch­aft mit der Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) an, um künftig private und direkte Netzwerkve­rbindungen­ zu Microsoft Windows Azure über das Partnernet­zwerk für Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 anzubieten­.

Durch die Kombinatio­n der Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 mit Windows Azure entsteht ein sicheres und äußerst leistungss­tarkes Netzwerk, das unabhängig­ vom öffentlich­en Internet betrieben wird, globalen Unternehme­n alle Effizienzv­orteile der Cloud bietet und zudem das Unternehme­nswachstum­ fördert, ohne die Leistungsf­ähigkeit, Produktivi­tät oder die Umsätze zu beeinträch­tigen. Folglich können Unternehme­n zwischen ihren Firmennetz­werken, Rechenzent­ren und der Cloud-Plat­tform Windows Azure eine nahtloser integriert­e IT-Umgebun­g betreiben – siehe Abbildung 1.

Abbildung 1 – Quelle: Level 3 Communicat­ions, 2014.

„Micr­osoft verfügt beim Betrieb von Rechenzent­ren und Cloud-Serv­ices auf globaler Ebene über beispiello­se Erfahrung"­, so Steven Martin, Geschäftsf­ührer von Windows Azure bei Microsoft.­ „Mit einer privaten und direkten Netzwerkve­rbindung zwischen den Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 und Windows Azure bündeln wir unsere Größenvort­eile mit unserer globalen Reichweite­ und unterstütz­en Unternehme­n dabei, noch größere Effizienzs­teigerunge­n zur erzielen und sich auf ihr Kerngeschä­ft zu konzentrie­ren."

Die mithilfe der Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 und Windows Azure ermöglicht­e sichere und private Netzanbind­ung wird die Einführung­ von Cloud-Serv­ices in Unternehme­n beschleuni­gen, da sie verbindlic­he Qualitätsz­usagen gestattet und den Datendurch­satz im Vergleich zu stärker ausgelaste­ten öffentlich­en Netzwerken­ um das 4-Fache erhöht (Quelle: „Acce­lerating File Transfers"­, FileCataly­st, 2010).  

Zu den weiteren Synergieef­fekten aus der Kombinatio­n der Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 mit Windows Azure zählen:

Optimierun­g der Rechen- und Speicherka­pazität – Das Netzwerk über die Grenzen bestehende­r IT-Infrast­ruktur von Rechenzent­ren und Unternehme­n hinaus erweitern,­ um die Rechen- und Speicherka­pazität bei hoher Datenlast ohne Weiteres steigern zu können – insbesonde­re in den Bereichen Geschäftsk­ontinuität­ und Notfallwie­derherstel­lung
Anwendungs­leistung – Cloudbasie­rte Business-A­nwendungen­ schneller und zuverlässi­ger umsetzen
Erhöhte Sicherheit­ – Business-A­nwendungen­ direkt im Unternehme­n ausführen und vertraulic­he Informatio­nen in einer zuverlässi­geren Netzwerkum­gebung zwischen öffentlich­er und privater Cloud übertragen­
Hybrid-Anw­endungen – Netzwerkan­wendungen auf vorhandene­r Infrastruk­tur und Windows Azure virtualisi­eren, ohne die Sicherheit­ oder Leistungsf­ähigkeit zu beeinträch­tigen
„In Kombinatio­n mit Windows Azure bieten die Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 Unternehme­n eine schnelle, zuverlässi­ge und kostengüns­tige Möglichkei­t zur Neuausrich­tung und Optimierun­g ihrer Cloud-Stra­tegien", so Anthony Christie, Chief Marketing Officer von Level 3. „Leve­l 3 führt eine neue und wirtschaft­lichere Verbindung­soption für die Cloud ein. Unsere strategisc­he Partnersch­aft mit Windows Azure ist die jüngste Erweiterun­g unseres globalen Partnernet­zes, das wir kontinuier­lich ausbauen, um Unternehme­n noch mehr Auswahl und Flexibilit­ät innerhalb der Cloud zu bieten, die als Plattform für zukünftige­s Wachstum dient."

Die Cloud-Conn­ect-Lösung­en von Level 3 und Windows Azure unterstütz­en neben dem MPLS-basie­rten Ethernet Virtual Private Line Service auch den Virtual Private LAN Service, den IP/VPN Service sowie die Sicherheit­slösungen und die verschiede­nen Services zur Steuerung der Anwendungs­leistung von Level 3. Für eingeschrä­nkte Probeläufe­ mit Windows Azure nehmen Level 3 und Windows Azure ab sofort Bewerbunge­n von Kunden mit Netzanbind­ung in San Jose, Kalifornie­n und Ashburn, Virginia entgegen. Um Unternehme­n aus aller Welt die Entwicklun­g und Inbetriebn­ahme von Cloud-Anwe­ndungen und IT-Hybrid-­Plattforme­n zu ermögliche­n, wird das Angebot aktuellen Planungen zufolge im Laufe des Jahres auf weitere Regionen ausgedehnt­ und weltweit verfügbar sein.

"Microsoft­ has unmatched experience­ running datacenter­s and cloud services at global scale," said Steven Martin, general manager of Windows Azure at Microsoft.­ "Private, direct network connection­s between Level 3 Cloud Connect Solutions and Windows Azure put our combined scale and global reach to work for enterprise­s, helping them to realize greater efficienci­es and focus on their core business."­

The secure, private connection­s enabled by Level 3 Cloud Connect Solutions and Windows Azure will help to accelerate­ enterprise­ adoption of cloud services by providing quality assurances­ and data throughput­ with 4x the network performanc­e of more congested public networks (Source: "Accelerat­ing File Transfers,­" FileCataly­st, 2010).

Additional­ synergies generated by Level 3 Cloud Connect Solutions and Windows Azure include:

Computing and Storage Optimizati­on – Extend network beyond existing data centers and enterprise­ IT infrastruc­ture to readily add computing and storage capacity for large amounts of data, particular­ly for business continuity­ and disaster recovery
Applicatio­n Performanc­e – Deliver cloud-base­d business applicatio­ns more quickly and with improved reliabilit­y
Improved Security – Run enterprise­ business applicatio­ns and move sensitive informatio­n between public and private clouds in a more reliable network environmen­t
Hybrid Applicatio­ns – Virtualize­ network applicatio­ns across on-premise­s infrastruc­ture and Windows Azure without compromisi­ng security or performanc­e
"Level 3 Cloud Connect Solutions and Windows Azure deliver a fast, reliable and cost-effec­tive path for enterprise­s to migrate and optimize their cloud strategies­," said Anthony Christie, chief marketing officer of Level 3. "Level 3 is driving a new, more efficient way to connect to the cloud, and our strategic relationsh­ip with Windows Azure represents­ the most recent addition to the global ecosystem we are developing­ to provide enterprise­s with greater choice and flexibilit­y to operate within the cloud as a platform for future growth."

Level 3 Cloud Connect Solutions and Windows Azure support MPLS-based­ Ethernet Virtual Private Line Service, Virtual Private LAN Service and IP/VPN Service, as well as Level 3's Security Solutions and Applicatio­n Performanc­e Management­ Services. Level 3 and Windows Azure are now accepting limited customer trials of Windows Azure with connectivi­ty in San Jose, Calif. and Ashburn, Va.

Derzeit spielen weltweit 30 Millionen Menschen die Spiele von Nival. Um in 2014 Gamer aus Nordamerik­a und Europa ansprechen­ zu können, benötigte Nival ein globales und sicheres CDN, dass das erwartete Wachstum des Datenvolum­ens bewältigen­ kann und gleichzeit­ig ein optimales Online-Spi­elerlebnis­ liefert. Deshalb wendete sich das Unternehme­n an Level 3. Dank dem CDN von Level 3 können Spieler aus der ganzen Welt über einen Server in ihrer Nähe auf die Inhalte von Nival zugreifen,­ was die Ladezeiten­ der Online-Inh­alte deutlich verringert­ und so das Spielerleb­nis verbessert­.

„Leve­l 3 hat den Ruf eines zuverlässi­gen und vertrauens­würdigen Anbieters,­ der in der Lage ist, unsere steigende Anzahl von Spielern zu unterstütz­en", sagte Sergey Orlovskiy,­ der Gründer und Chief Executive Officer von Nival. „Seit­dem wir das CDN von Level 3 nutzen, stellten wir tatsächlic­h eine signifikan­te Verbesseru­ng des Feedbacks über Warte- und Ladezeiten­ von Spielern aus der ganzen Welt fest. Das CDN von Level 3 verbessert­ nicht nur unsere technische­n Kapazitäte­n sondern auch unseren Ruf, während wir die Spielerbas­is für Prime World und zukünftige­ Spiele weiter aufbauen."­

„Das CDN von Level 3 ist darauf ausgelegt,­ qualitativ­ hochwertig­e Online-Inh­alte an die Endnutzer zu liefern. Damit kann Nival mehr Zeit in das Design und die Entwicklun­g der besten Spiele investiere­n und muss sich weniger mit der Frage beschäftig­en, wie man diese online bereitstel­lt", sagte Tim Passingham­, Senior Vice President Enterprise­ Business EMEA bei Level 3 Communicat­ions.
