A multi-year contract to provide a five site IP VPN service to the American Payroll Association (APA), an association serving payroll professionals in the US, in Las Vegas, along with company headquarters in San Antonio, Texas and three further US locations, has been awarded to Time Warner Telecom Inc (Nasdaq:TWTC), a provider of managed voice and data networking solutions for businesses.

Time Warner Telecom said its IP VPN will provide the capacity APA requires at the enterprise level to fuel further growth, helping to eliminate the slowdowns and crashes it has experienced with its legacy solution. The IP VPN will deliver any-to-any connectivity to APA's five regional sites, which include the Las Vegas MEET facility and its San Antonio headquarters, with network access from APA's locations in New York, Washington D.C. and San Antonio.

In addition, APA will benefit from an Ethernet Internet connection from its San Antonio headquarters facility, providing Internet for all company locations, with collocation services also provided to support its business continuity and disaster recovery objectives.

APA said it selected Time Warner Telecom's IP VPN service for its bandwidth capacity, flexibility and scalability, which is expected to make its new Las Vegas MEET convention facility highly competitive in attracting clients. The IP VPN will enable APA to scale its circuits up to 1Gb/s and enable it to provide infrastructure able to support bandwidth-intensive data and video applications for clients.
