Hi all! I wanted to poll the group and get some feedback (off-line if you'd rather not share with the group) your choices for US (nation-wide players ONLY) ISPs that do a good job providing IP VPN on their backbone and who you are most satisfied. We currently have proposals out to the major carriers and are evaluating those and wanted to get a smattering of information back from this group on who you would/wouldn't recommend and why. Any information you all can provide, including personal experiences, will be GREATLY appreciated. Our proposal consists of providing full T-1 coordinated access with an Internet connection and a DS-3 service at our core network. I want to stay on the providers backbone if at all possible to keep the SLA intact. This is for a network of approximately 160+ sites and growing to possibly double that size in 2-3 years. We are also entertaining the idea of using two different providers for redundancy. This is all going to be managed in-house with IOS 3DES VPN tunnels. Thanks in advance for your input. - Darrell ====================================================================== Darrell Kristof, Network Manager/Team Leader Whole Foods Market, Corporate Offices E-Mail: darrell.kristof@wholefoods.com
