today encouraged IT directors, chief information officers and
business owners seeking to better manage operational costs in the
challenging economy to take a closer look at Ethernet networking
services. Ethernet, the preferred emerging networking technology for
businesses, provides higher bandwidth rates and lower costs per bit
compared to legacy telecommunications services like Frame Relay and
Private Lines - creating an opportunity for significant savings that
can be allocated to additional network services or other parts of
the organization.
According to Vertical Systems Group, the majority of
business Ethernet deployment will come from the replacement of
legacy services. Ethernet services provide a simpler, more
transparent, lower cost and far more scalable transport option than
many legacy technologies. Almost all existing customer Frame Relay
circuits and more than half of Private Lines operate at a rate of
1.5 Mbps or less. With Ethernet services, businesses get
multi-megabit to Gigabit transport speeds for a fraction of the cost
per bit as compared to what they currently pay for their legacy
services.
"The
economy is forcing managers to aggressively and strategically drive
cost out of their business. Replacing legacy networking connections
with Ethernet is an immediate way to reduce operational costs, while
gaining greater flexibility and scalability for future growth," said
Rosemary Cochran, principal, Vertical Systems Group. "As businesses
make final IT spending and strategy adjustments for 2009, this will
be a top consideration."
