Microsoft provides software and services that help people communicate, do their work, be entertained, and manage their personal lives. In doing so, they have made the world smaller by giving us instant access to people and resources everywhere.

It is almost impossible to overstate the dominant role Microsoft has played in the development of personal computing, networking and collaboration in the last 20 years. More than any other company, Microsoft has helped weave the technological fabric of modern society.

A specialist in the supply of voice-ready managed broadband, Griffin Internet has provided internet services to UK business since 1994. In 13 years Griffin has grown to become an industry leader through launching robust, innovative and customer-focused products and services exclusively through the channel. Griffin was the first ISP to launch un-metered dial up service and now supplies broadband, networking and storage solutions.

Griffin owns and manages its own national MPLS IP network, used solely for business. In the last two years Griffin has featured in a number of top industry league tables including the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and The Sunday Times Fast Track.

Easynet manage and maintain an extensive, fault tolerance, fully meshed MPLS, pan European IP network. Not content to sit on their laurels, they have undertaken aggressive UK POP expansion with the emergence of Local Loop Unbundling [LLU]. As a provider of xDSL and leased line services to businesses, Easynet have a duty of care in the transport of mission critical company information for their users. It is this responsibility, and how they meet it through a series of redundant, automatic fail-over mechanisms, that make Easynet the carrier partner of choice for Rosie Red.

Combining our fundamental strengths in voice switching and service provision with Easynet's geographical reach underpins Rosie Red's extensibility into target vertical markets. By "peering" with Easynet, we are able to route their user traffic directly onto our network, with all the voice packet prioritisation etc that entails. In all Rosie Red deployments above 20 users, it is expected that Easynet access will be mandatory. In this way Rosie Red sidesteps the tricky issue with VoIP, namely, how to guarantee voice quality across the Internet.

Gamma Telecom is the fastest growing alternative network operator in the UK, providing Rosie Red with PSTN access and DDI provision.
