Taking Care of Business
Carrier Ethernet has been gathering steam over the past few
years, but it now is reaching a critical point where it is
becoming many carriers' fastest-growing enterprise offer.
With many advances in its corner, Ethernet finally may have
the advantage over traditional technologies like ATM and
frame relay in meeting enterprises' ever-growing demands
for bandwidth and support for converged services.
Service Delivery
In communications networks, customers want guarantees, and
being able to satisfy that desire is what's ultimately going
to drive carrier Ethernet services demand.
Targeting the SMB Set
Service providers targeting the SMB market now have an important
new tool at their disposal in the form of carrier Ethernet.
In addition to being based on Ethernet, carrier Ethernet
is ideal for the SMB space because it allows customers to
up their bandwidth quickly and incrementally as they require.
Customer Network Management Builds Satisfaction, Loyalty
Rather than keeping business customers in hands-off mode waiting
for their services, imagine if you could outfit them with
the tools to order, and receive, services as they need them?
That's just beginning to happen with customer network management
tools related to carrier Ethernet services.
New Frontiers for Ethernet in the Enterprise
Competitive carriers in the Wild West of enterprise services
are finding that subscribers are continuing to seek higher-speed,
IP-based applications. For providers wanting to meet this
growing enterprise need, Ethernet represents something of
an open range for those that can take advantage of it.
