As cloud adoption continues to grow, carriers are experiencing greater bandwidth demands on their networks. Industry standardization and recent advances in Ethernet technology have improved the value and suitability of an Ethernet network for carriers that are challenged to meet these demands while also being under pressure to continually lower costs, increase network reliability and improve service velocity.
To provide a complete portfolio of Ethernet services to their customers, some carriers opt for deploying a multi-layered architecture using Layer 1 optical equipment and Layer 2 Ethernet routing switches. This approach gives rise to a number of challenges:
Delivering a broad portfolio of Ethernet services (E-Line and E-LAN) to reach the broadest possible markets providing the appropriate Layer 1 and/or Layer 2 protection mechanisms;
Creating high-value SLAs to differentiate Ethernet service offerings;
Provisioning and management complexity;
Reducing overall network cost;
Lowering the cost per bit of Ethernet; and
Managing space and power constraints in COs, carrier hotels and other colocation facilities.
During this webinar, we will examine how an Ethernet architecture can overcome many of these challenges. In addition, attendees will gain a better understanding of an ideal Ethernet network solution and why Ethernet is such a valuable technology choice for keeping up with network demands. We will present the characteristics that make an Ethernet network desirable for a carrier, making them more successful in the market as they:
Introduce new services faster, speeding time-to-market and revenue generation.
Achieve time-to-market objectives more cost effectively from an opex (management operations, software licensing, training, etc.) and capex (common Ethernet Layer 2 / Transport Layer 1 equipment, rather than separate equipment) perspective.
Have a packet optical transport network that can efficiently grow and scale both optical services and Ethernet services to meet current and future service requirements.
