Majority of surveyed IT leaders see bandwidth intensive applications, business continuity/disaster recovery and virtualized resources as contributing to the demand for high-performance connectivity.

You Need a Network Built to Handle Those Demands
• You need performance: Traditional technologies like T1 and Frame Relay provide limited bandwidth, constraining application performance
• You need to keep costs down: You can’t afford to make major investments in your network every time your business changes
• You need scalability: Network traffic is exploding, yet the time and resources required to expand in a T1 environment are too great
Traditional technologies just weren’t built with today’s environment in mind

Carrier Ethernet Defined
• Standardized Service-Requires no change to Customer LAN equipment. Ideally suited for converged voice, video and data networks.
• Scalability-Provides bandwidth in increments from 1 Meg to 10 Gig• Reliability-Rapid recovery time when problems occur 50ms rapid
recovery.• Quality of Service-Service Level agreements that deliver end to end
performance.• Service Management-The ability to monitor, diagnose and centrally
manage the network.
