The delivery of a truly global and reliable MPLS service is an undertaking of such scale and complexity that it is impossible for a single company to achieve alone, making strategic Mpls Market Partnerships & Alliances the absolute lifeblood of the industry. These partnerships are the essential framework that allows a customer of a single service provider to have seamless, private connectivity to their offices around the world, even in countries where their primary provider does not own any physical network infrastructure. The most fundamental of these are the network-to-network interconnection (NNI) agreements between the major telecommunication carriers themselves. These NNI agreements are reciprocal arrangements that allow one carrier to use another carrier's network to extend the reach of its own MPLS service into a new geography. For example, a US-based enterprise customer of AT&T needing to connect a new office in Southeast Asia can be served through a partnership where AT&T hands off the traffic to a regional partner like NTT at an interconnection point, and the regional partner provides the "last mile" connectivity to the customer's office, all managed under a single AT&T contract and SLA.
These carrier partnerships are incredibly complex, involving deep technical integration of their core networks, alignment of service classes to ensure that Quality of Service (QoS) markings are honored across networks, and sophisticated commercial agreements. The strength and breadth of a provider's NNI partnership network is a major competitive differentiator, as it directly determines the global reach of its MPLS offering. A provider with a rich web of partnerships can offer service to a much wider range of countries and cities, making it a more attractive choice for multinational corporations. These alliances are what transform a collection of disparate national and regional networks into a cohesive, global networking fabric that can be consumed as a single service by the end customer. Without these partnerships, the concept of a global MPLS VPN would not be possible.
In the modern era, a new and equally critical category of partnerships has emerged: alliances between the MPLS providers and the major cloud hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud). As enterprises move their mission-critical applications to the cloud, they require a private, secure, and high-performance connection to those cloud environments that bypasses the public internet. This has led to the creation of services like AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect. To deliver these services, the cloud providers have formed deep partnerships with the MPLS providers. The MPLS provider offers a dedicated, private connection from the customer's WAN directly to the cloud provider's network edge. This partnership is highly synergistic: the MPLS provider gets a powerful new use case and revenue stream for their private network, and the cloud provider gets to offer its customers a premium, enterprise-grade connectivity option that enhances the performance and security of its cloud services. The Mpls Market size is projected to grow to USD 79.31 Billion by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.37% during the forecast period 2025-2035.
