Verizon Business now offers 10 gigE for Ethernet LAN Service and Ethernet Virtual Private Line in 100 U.S. metropolitan areas. The availability of widespread 10 gigE for E-LAN and EVPL complements the company’s previously introduced 10 gigE Ethernet Private Line and optical offerings.
Verizon Business said until now it had offered 10 gigE connections, which are so big that they can be used to download eight to 10 full-length movies in one second, only on a customized basis. The company believes this “standardized” offer will be especially valuable for companies looking at remote data center connectivity and consolidation.
“10 GigE hits the sweet spot for companies wanting to make the most of their IP networking capabilities for advanced applications that can be true bandwidth hogs,” said Nancy Gofus, senior vice president of global business products for Verizon. “Now, these on-demand applications can work harder and smarter across multiple locations across town, featuring the classes of service, service level agreements and security associated with Verizon Business’ global Ethernet portfolio.”
Verizon Business is widely considered a leader in Carrier Ethernet. The company also offers Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) in most areas of the U.S.; Ethernet Private Line (EPL) within 145 U.S. metro markets and in many locations in 21 European countries; Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) in much of the U.S., many locations in six Asia-Pacific countries, between the U.S. and those Asia-Pacific regions; and between the U.S. and 10 European countries; and Ethernet Access for Private IP and the public Internet virtually anywhere in the U.S, within 20 European countries, 13 countries in Asia-Pacific and four countries in Latin America and Canada.
Verizon Business is a unit of Verizon Communications (VZ).
