Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high performance semiconductor solutions, has chosen Orange
Business Services as its primary worldwide network services
provider. The three-year agreement includes a global managed IP
Virtual Private Network (IP VPN), with IP voice services,
network-based internet gateways, and DSL connections to Fairchild
Semiconductor�s smaller offices.
Orange Business Services will manage the IP VPN services across
35 locations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, integrating
data and voice connections under a single communications
umbrella.
�As a global business, we require common IT infrastructure
platforms in order to effectively communicate across all our
sites,� said Alan Bakutis, global manager of IT Network Services at
Fairchild Semiconductor. �Orange Business Services offers an
integrated, high performing, and reliable global network to support
our business goal of increasing the speed by which we are able to
design, manufacture and deliver products to our customers.�
In addition to managed data services, Fairchild will incorporate
the following solutions onto its MPLS-based IP VPN:
- Business Talk Global � A
feature-rich, converged voice VPN service that exceeds the
capabilities of traditional voice VPNs by combining features like
private dial plans and best-choice routing with the latest
voice-over-IP capabilities. Business Talk helps reduce costs and
improve service globally.
- Small Office Solutions �
Fairchild Semiconductor is using the DSL option of Small Office
Solutions, a services portfolio designed for small or branch
offices of multinationals, to connect additional sales offices as
the company grows. DSL enables customers to cost-effectively and
easily connect their smaller sites to the corporate network.
- Network-based Internet
Gateways � Providing internet access through regional gateways
on the IP VPN network enables Fairchild Semiconductor to limit
expenditure while increasing access redundancy.
�Fairchild Semiconductor exemplifies an overall converged
network services trend we are seeing,� said Diana Leonard, senior
vice president, Americas, Orange Business Services. �A multifaceted
communications network is vital for any business to be successful
across different markets and territories. At Orange Business
Services, we�ve consistently expanded the scale and spectrum of our
network to support our customers on this worldwide stage.�
The Orange network currently reaches 220 countries and
territories, with IP VPN access available in 151 countries. The
company also has dedicated teams in more than 166 countries and
