Metro Ethernet Services and Secure Ethernet Internet Services

Where Ethernet was once simply one of two workgroup LAN standards, it now has become the infrastructure of choice for building major portions of the next-generation public network. Last mile and metro networks for ISPs and ASPs, links to large and medium-sized businesses, even residential connectivity, will all be changed by the concept of the Ethernet economy. And that's what Creative Data Concepts Limited, Inc. is able to offer.

For example, if you have three offices in different locations in a metropolitan area, we would be able to bypass the traditional "Internet" connection that's shared with all Internet users. Instead, each one of your offices would have a direct line to each other, clean of the garbage and traffic that slows down a traditional connection. And that connection can be managed to keep your costs low by eliminating charges for viruses, SPAM and all other forms of malicious traffic that eat away at your bandwidth.

Networks at diverse locations can be connected at Ethernet speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps and higher. Internet Connectivity is added in increments starting at 512 Kbps all the way up to 1000 Mbps and higher. Internet usage can be closely monitored and the level of Internet bandwidth adjusted within minutes rather than weeks. This connectivity is free from malicious traffic and bundled with other service offerings including Hosted Exchange Services, Proactive Network Monitoring, Data Storage and other services designed to streamline business IT operations. Network servers for clients served by Metro Ethernet services can be housed in our secure data center insuring nearly 100% uptime.

According to Xchange, "Today's public network is built upon the principle that its subscribers' primary need is for low-speed, circuit switched bandwidth--in other words, voice. Access to today's network is low speed--T1 at best for most of us--predominantly over copper. The network backbone consists of sets of interconnected SONET rings running, again, at fairly low speeds--no faster than OC-48 (2.5gbps) in most cases--and built to concentrate and distribute many low-speed voice channels."

"But most service providers recognize that subscribers' needs are changing. Now customers want high-speed asynchronous data in addition to low-speed synchronous voice. So innovative service providers are building new capabilities to meet these requirements."

"New categories of service providers have emerged to focus on the needs of each area of the new metro network--both access or "last mile" and the metro backbone. In the access area, in-building service providers, known as building-centric LECs (BLECs), have focused on providing much higher speed access technologies to businesses in multi tenant units and office parks. The latest service providers to emerge go even one step further and aim to deliver very-high-speed access (1000 Mbps) to residences and very small businesses."

"In the metro core area, a whole new class of service providers is linking the new access providers with large businesses and to long-distance gateways by providing very high-speed metro cores."

"For all of these new classes of service providers, Ethernet technology is the common and crucial thread."

Consolidation of services provides stronger network security, lowers overall bandwidth costs and greatly increases work and business productivity.
