Economical. Think of Ethernet Service as a cost-effected extension of your existing Ethernet LAN. You'll get more megabits for the money.
Scalable. Ethernet Services provide a graceful migration path, allowing you to upgrade bandwidth with little or no disruption of service on your existing network.
Simple. Your IT staff will find Ethernet Services easy to implement and support because it is the same native Ethernet technology as your LAN.
Reliable. Ethernet Services is a Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) certified product and is fully redundant and utilizes fast recovery mechanisms in the core infrastructure.
Secure. Our Ethernet network is standards-based and uses Virtual Private LAN technology over an IP MPLS network so your traffic stays separate and your data is secure, while allowing you to retain routing control.
Some Ethernet services are only available in limited markets.
Ethernet Services can help you accelerate into the fast lane.
No matter which Ethernet Service you select, you will be economically increasing the
bandwidth of your current connection. Purchase and provision only what you need today, then scale bandwidth as your network requirements grow. Meanwhile, enjoy the advantages that EPL, EVPL and ELAN all have in common:
- Ideal for intra-company voice and LAN-to-LAN data applications
- VLAN transparency allows you to control your own routing and Layer 2 protocols
- Real-time committed information rate (CIR) is ideal for voice, video and priority applications
- Burstable bandwidth capability
- Layer 2 switched Ethernet Service
- Secure dedicated end-to-end LAN interconnectivity
- Increase operational efficiency through server consolidation and seamless Ethernet architecture
- High-bandwidth data center connectivity facilitates business continuity and disaster recovery
- Data migration strategy for Frame Relay or ATM services
