(Hong Kong, July 2, 2003) Diyixian.com Ltd, Greater China’s largest IP private network service provider, today announced its new launch of DYXNet Managed Multihoming MPLS IP private network Service for International Private Leased Circuit (IPLC) users. This new offer helps to take advantage on utilizing both IPLC and IP private network’s bandwidth at the same time while effectively lowering the risk of having single point of failure.

Hong Kong has been hit by SARS during the past few months. With the confirmation of signing the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) by the Central People’s Government and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, it is expected to speed up the economic recovery after SARS. According to a recent survey, there are several thousand corporations having had deployed IPLC solution to connect their branch offices in Greater China. These enterprises have widely deployed network-based applications to facilitate their internal and external communication, including Voice over IP (VoIP), Email, Video Conferencing, IP Fax, etc. After the signing of CEPA, it is anticipated that there will be a substantial growth among Mainland/Hong Kong cooperation and thus a demand for bandwidth upgrade for their further expansion.

“IP private network is well known for its economical and scalable features. Our new service offers an option for IPLC users to experience the full advantage of our managed IP private network service and realize the potential savings, and to perceive its outstanding performance” said Lap Man, CEO of Diyixian. By deploying multihoming and load-balancing technology, data will be evenly transmitted on both connections under normal operation. This helps to fully utilize the bandwidth resources and improve the connection efficiency. Moreover, it also acts as an additional backup for the existing IPLC.

By leveraging the comprehensive advantages of IP private network, enterprises can enjoy a more cost effective and flexible networking solution. For example, users can subscribe a larger port speed (1Mbps) with lower guaranteed bandwidth (512Kbps). This arrangement ensures minimum bandwidth is guaranteed during network congestion with a much lower price. “For those enterprises with multi-site operation, our new service can definitely help them in saving up to 60% of their operation cost” Lap added.

The launch of DYXNet Managed Multihoming MPLS IP private network Service further demonstrates Diyixian’s determination to develop and provide the best-of-breed services for enterprises. The promotional offer is HK$7,888 (512Kbps guaranteed), HK$8,888 (1Mbps guaranteed) and HK$9,888 (1.5Mbps guaranteed), including the Mainland/Hong Kong local connection fee.
