Market researcher ORG-MARG has chosen Global Tele-System Ltd (GTI)'s virtual private network to connect its 15 branch offices across India. The network will be used for transferring research data collected by the various branches.
ORG will use GTL's VPN to bring its c-commerce strategy to reality. In the first phase, connectivity would be established between three offices and in the second phase the remaining 12 offices will be inter-connected through GTL's network.
Release said that transferring data through conventional means such as mail attachments, CD's or floppies from their head office at Baroda to their various offices is costly and time consuming. While using GTL's VPN will improve ORG-MARG's access to the branches, its will eliminate the costs involved in setting up its own wide-area networking.
With GTL's services, ORG-MARG will get 24X7 network monitoring, guaranteed levels of performance, end-to-end security, flexibility and scalability along with the proper combination of speed and cost available for every network connection.
ORG MARG's head office at Baroda in Gujarat would connect locally to GTL's node at Baroda using a lease line of 2 Mbps from BSNL. An ISDN back up will provide redundancy and connectivity in case of a local line break-up.
