Regan Hughes: Carrier Ethernet is the next generation of WAN technology - it's Ethernet by carriers for enterprises.
It combines the peace of mind of E1s with the low cost scalability and simplicity of Ethernet to create a super WAN product with the best of both worlds.
This enables customers to access the Internet, voice, inter-site data and the Cloud over a single converged access. To date, the rest of the world has embraced Carrier Ethernet with open arms, including our nearest neighbours Australia.
Why is it relevant to New Zealand enterprises?
Kiwis want reliability, we want to start small and be able to grow big. We want control of our own destiny, and most of all, we want a good deal.
Carrier Ethernet is built on five attributes that promise to deliver each of these outcomes. Interestingly, these are also the characteristics that Cloud services demand from a network solution.
