Solutions

Masergy steadily and proactively delivered reliable service for Hallmark Channel. Masergy offered guaranteed reliability, cost savings, security, six-levels of QoS and strong service level agreement (SLA). To create a comprehensive network solution for Hallmark Channel, Masergy implemented its SD-VPN service (using both MPLS and Internet Plus service options), as well as its Video QoS to ensure control and on-demand flexibility in delivery options. Masergy’s advanced software-defined network consistently supported Hallmark Channel’s entire data network, as well as video conferencing requirements for all company locations in California, Colorado, Illinois and New York.

Since Masergy’s network architecture allows secure access to desired applications using a standard IP router, no special equipment was needed to take advantage of advanced services. Masergy’s software-defined network
with inherently built-in class-of-service and QoS capabilities allowed industryleading performance metrics for latency, reliability, and uptime.

Masergy’s high-performance network platform provides an excellent return on investment by allowing the company to leverage its existing data network for video.
