Helly Hansen Deploys Verizon Network
August 31, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Verizon Business (verizonbusiness.com) announced on Thursday it has been selected by clothing and survival products manufacturer Helly Hansen (hellyhansen.com) to provide a managed private IP network connecting its major offices around the world.
The MPLS network will provide secure and reliable connections between Helly Hansen’s headquarters in Oslo, Norway, and seven other major sites in Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, the UK and the US. Helly Hansen has more than 700 employees in 17 countries, all of whom depend on applications and communications tools hosted at its headquarters in Norway to run daily business operations.
The company selected Verizon Business to manage the data network connecting its global sites, as well as provide a secure gateway to ensure that vital business applications from headquarters are always available. Verizon Business has installed two routers and dual access lines, significantly increasing Helly Hansen’s network capacity to support current and projected voice and data needs.
“We run a whole host of services and business tools out of our Norwegian office which all of our other offices around the world depend on day and night,” says Einar Lonnum, chief information officer for Helly Hansen. “The managed IP network provided by Verizon Business gives us peace of mind in terms of both service level agreements and a helpdesk service that actively monitors the wide area network lines 24/7, helping us to keep our business operational round-the-clock.”
