Can I stay seamlessly connected to locations around the world? The answer is yes. With Global Ethernet connectivity solutions, you have simple and easy access to a resilient EoMPLS network connecting destinations across the globe. Read how global Ethernet can help your organization standardise, simplify and gain control over your network.
Global Ethernet is an industry-standard solution for large multinational companies and enterprises that need to connect their offices across the globe. This solution helps businesses extend their local area networks (LANs) across wide area networks (WANs) in all major countries and cities with point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions. The Layer 2 Ethernet point-to-point service is delivered over global carrier-grade Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. The flexible alternative to traditional complex technologies such as ATM or Frame Relay networks, EoMPLS provides low cost and exceptional performance for service providers.
Historically, Ethernet was seen as being suitable for use in its incarnation as the standard local area network (LAN) access method used in an office or home environment. However, the increase in business globalisation and the immediate need to adopt high capacity, IP-based services have driven global optical networks' growth and transformation.
Many businesses are choosing to invest in this global technology, which is being heralded as the future of global networking. These businesses are currently enjoying the enormous benefits and cost-efficiency this technology brings.
Standardised rollout and reduced network cost
The primary benefit that companies experience when deploying a global Ethernet network is the ability to standardise customer premises equipment (CPE) rollout on a lower cost basis, with common equipment worldwide.
Fully capable routers with high-speed interfaces (T1/E1/DS3/OCN) have the ability to work with any WAN connection but are often much more expensive than deploying networks utilising Layer 2 Ethernet switches and interfaces. This is the standard CPE when employing a global Ethernet solution. Global Ethernet network equipment is easier to source, manage and replace, contributing to a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the end-user.
Global SLAs for network performance
Additionally, using a native MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) core design will allow for the provision of global SLAs (service level agreements) for network performance, with the potential to promise 100 percent in-sequence packet delivery for voice and video.
More businesses are now starting out with Ethernet solutions, as opposed to MPLS. This is due to the standardised and less costly CPE rollout and the reduced network costs. Now that EoMPLS has gained widespread acceptance, businesses are ready to make a transition to converged network services – either gradually or rapidly – based on requirements and risk aversion.
More speed and flexibility
Modern global networks provide high-bandwidth, high-speed access to mission-critical data locally, remotely, and in cloud-based environments. With Ethernet’s high bandwidth over fiber, you get a bandwidth of 10 Gbps on a single line. With Ethernet as your technology, you can grow and compete with advanced cloud-computing services. Ethernet’s top credentials are performance on nearly every front—reliability, speed, scalability, and flexibility. Simply put, Ethernet is the technology of the future.
Secure and scalable business communications
Managing the demands of modern apps and the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile requires a strong, secure network that unifies employees, devices, and customers. Ethernet lets you optimize and simplify operations between point-to-point (E-Line services) and any-to-any (E-LAN services) connections.
Furthermore, Ethernet provides dedicated routing and switching that helps expand your network connectivity by delivering high levels of data and application performance across the globe. You can securely connect offices, data centers, and business sites to deliver traffic across a single connection using global Ethernet. Need help getting started? Top service providers like TM WHOLESALE can help you assess your applications’ sensitivity to packet delivery, latency, availability, and time to repair.
Multi-service and end-to-end carrying capability
With the rise of next-generation Ethernet delivery services, global carriers will need to migrate towards these platforms, which are expanding their offerings in new and existing markets. In order to do so, carrier Ethernet products that are able to unify advanced switching and transport capabilities integrated into a single system will be needed.
Furthermore, the Ethernet switching platform's multi-service and end-to-end carrying capability provides support for intelligent generalised multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS). Combined with its compatibility with the provider backbone bridge, IEEE 802.1ah, global Ethernet is a future-proof solution that enables the transition to all-packet networks. This allows businesses to employ global Ethernet and have truly global scalability and reduced TCO.
