Safe any-to-any connectivity. Protect, connect, communicate and automate complex business applications using network-based VPN architecture.

Verizon Partner Solutions's Private IP service (PIP) is a smart business move for customers who require secure connectivity solutions that easily connect to multiple locations. Private IP service operates as an MPLS-based virtual private network (VPN) that :

  • Allows you and/or your customers to communicate securely, and
  • Provides the foundation for automating business processes such as e-commerce and shared extranets/intranets.

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology enables PIP to separate customer traffic through a VPN. You and your customers benefit from the security and quality of service (QoS) of Layer 2 switching that offers superb scalability and any-to-any IP connectivity via Layer 3 IP routing.

Verizon's PIP Service lets you control your business applications more efficiently. Better still, PIP adds to your company's portfolio of customer service offerings to create an additional revenue stream. Customers need the capabilities that PIP affords them, so why not capitalize on the marketplace and customer demand to increase profits?

If you and your customers require basic service only, subscribe to Verizon PIP's standard service. Or, choose PIP's Enhanced Traffic Management (ETM) service that lets customers prioritize traffic and assign classes of service.

Verizon Partner Solutions customers can serve a global marketplace using PIP arrangements in more than 120 countries where available. That means that you and your customers can grow and expand whenever you are ready ... thus gaining a significant competitive advantage.

PIP access allows a wide range of applications that help you more efficiently and cost-effectively run your company and increase opportunities to expand customer service offerings for generating additional revenue. And, your customers need and want the capabilities that PIP provides. For example, use PIP to provide yourself and your customers with the ability to support Layer 3 (IP) applications in a closed environment.
