MegaPath Takes Top Honors in MPLS Services Category of Nemertes Research's PilotHouse Awards

MegaPath Inc., one of the leading providers of managed data, voice, and security services in North America, today announced that it was selected as Top Provider among Market Challenger's in the MPLS Services category of Nemertes Research's 2011 PilotHouse Awards. The awards recognize companies for outstanding achievement and superior performance in technological innovation, customer service and value.

"Companies across a broad array of industries rely on MegaPath to securely connect and prioritize the growing demands being placed on their IT infrastructure," said Dan Foster (News - Alert), President of Business Markets, MegaPath. "At MegaPath, we are investing to ensure that we have one of the largest MPLS-enabled, all-optical networks nationwide, so that our services can deliver the highest value at a cost-effective price point. This recognition from our customers is a testament to our continuing efforts."

Nemertes Research's PilotHouse awards are a direct reflection of IT decision makers' first-hand experience with products and services. The firm surveyed more than 2,000 IT decision makers and asked them to rate their providers on a one-to-five scale on value, technology and customer service. Vendors across 22 categories are broken into two segments: Market Leaders, a small group of vendors tat comprise a large percent of the market, and Market Challengers, a larger group of vendors that together comprise a smaller percentage of the overall market.

MegaPath's (News - Alert) PCI-compliant MPLS VPN service enables organizations to safely connect employees and partners in remote locations to corporate information and enterprise applications at company's headquarters. MegaPath connects customers' sites via a private network so that they are less susceptible to Web-based attacks, and maintains secure Internet gateways to block viruses, spam and hackers. In addition, the company ensures Quality of Service (QoS) over its direct MPLS paths, prioritizing business-critical applications like Voice over IP (VoIP), enterprise applications and credit card transactions.

MegaPath's services are consistently recognized for innovation and industry leadership. Most recently, the company's Hosted Voice solution was selected as the winner of Network Products Guide's 2011 Hot Companies and Best Products Awards' VoIP and Unified Communications category. In addition, Hosted Voice and Integrated Voice received INTERNET TELEPHONY's 2010 Product of the Year award.
