Changes to your connectivity services are forthcoming
that will affect your ability to access Information Exchange
or your own applications.
The connectivity services currently in use are subcontracted
on your behalf through AT&T. AT&T has officially
notified us of "End of Support" and "End
of Life" status for the services listed below:
- MPN / I1.1 (MultiProtocol Network and I1.1 Network)
- SNA [Services] (dial and leased line)
- MDNS Gold SLA Reports
AT&T has begun an initiative to support the consolidation
of its internal American Frame Network and Global Frame
Network (AFN/GFN). Customers using services supported by
the AFN/GFN environment (such as MPN or SNA services) will
need to migrate to an alternative method of connectivity.
AT&T recommends migrating to its MPLS (Multi-Protocol
Label Switching) backbone network, often referred to as
the AT&T Global Network (AGN) or High-Speed Packet Service
(HSPS) network.
We are notifying our customers that use AT&T’s
Networking technologies about this change to allow you time
to plan and manage the migration from your current method
of connectivity to one of the recommended replacements.
See the Withdrawal of Service timetable below to determine
when each service will no longer be available in your geographical
region.
As your technology partner, we are committed to ensuring
that your connectivity is transitioned in a smooth manner.
We have dedicated professionals willing to provide reasonable
assistance in the migration process, including:
- Performing an assessment of your current technology
environment
- Conducting evaluations and recommendations of appropriate
technologies
- Implementing and installing selected replacement technologies
We will provide additional information on the available
options and migration paths in later communications. If
you have any questions in the meantime, please contact
us.
