Global scientific publisher Springer has said it has selected Verizon’s integrated networking solution to help unify its global network infrastructure.
Verizon is providing Springer with a fully managed virtual private networking solution with professional services support. This flexible advanced Internet Protocol (IP) environment can quickly be scaled to accommodate the future deployment of solutions such as Voice-Over IP (VoIP) and unified communications.
It will enable Springer to adopt a more consistent approach to information delivery and streamline its IT operations, the company said in a statement.
“Verizon connects, monitors and manages the private network that connects Springer companies. Within this network, we are able to assign priorities to various types of network traffic, which has a positive effect on our critical business applications,” the Springer Head (Network and Telephony), Mr Jaap Schipper, said.
Springer works with some of the world’s best academics and authors, delivering high-quality knowledge and information to customers around the globe through its network of 55 publishing houses in 20 countries.
New York-based Verizon Communications is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers.
