Metro Ethernet
Grow your business with the speed of light!
Metro Ethernet is a compelling technology and the principal networking method for businesses of all types and sizes. Its fiber-based backbone maximizes speed, connectivity and scalability, while providing the preferred transport for advanced services, including IP telephony, video streaming, medical imaging, and data transfer.
Future-focused, innovative and agile, Metro Ethernet links multiple business sites and utilizes ring topology to ensure connectivity. Future-proof your network through easily scalable speeds that can be quickly increased as your business grows. Get more bandwidth per dollar and use the same connection to carry data, voice, Internet and video traffic. Save resources through centralizing and delivering applications, server consolidation and distributed data centers. Prioritize your traffic through Quality of Service (QoS) enabled products.
With so many Metro Ethernet look-alike carriers in the marketplace, how do you choose the provider that’s right for you? To determine whether Metro Ethernet is the answer to your company’s data, Internet and shared transport needs, ask yourself these questions:
- Do you need the confidence and reliability of ring technology?
- Are you thinking about Cloud Services and the best way to connect to them?
- Are you tired of “best effort” broadband with latency and inconsistent speeds?
- Is your Point-to-Point network in need of updating?
- Do you manage multiple transports for your data, Internet and voice service?
- Do you want your network monitored by a 24x7 Network Operations Center with a guaranteed Service Level Agreement (SLA)?
