Carrier Ethernet Solutions for the SMB Market
The benefits
of Carrier Ethernet - more bandwidth, low service costs and
simpler management - are a boon for SMB (Small and Medium
Business) customers. Ethernet Service Providers, and
particularly Cable MSOs and Competitive Providers, are actively
targeting the sizeable SMB market with a range of offerings,
including high capacity Internet Access, Metro LANs, bundled
data and voice offerings, and business video services. This
Webinar discusses SMB applications and purchase drivers, and
describes how successful Carrier Ethernet solutions support the
distinctive requirements of SMB customers.

Leveraging HFC Networks for Business Services
Are existing
HFC infrastructures sufficient to deliver business-class
services? Combining the high capacity of optical fiber with the
simplicity of coaxial cable, HFC networks have been used
extensively to support residential applications. These networks
are now being leveraged by Cable MSOs and other Service
Providers to address the more rigorous networking needs of
business customers. This Webinar explores the advantages and
operational issues associated with the support of business
applications using HFC networks.

Unscrambling Metro Ethernet Transport
Top industry-accepted
objectives for Metro Ethernet transport are efficiency,
reliability and control. What remains widely debated is the best
approach for achieving these objectives based on CAPEX and OPEX
considerations. Standards-based and proprietary technologies for
Metro Ethernet transport include PBT (Provider Backbone
Transport), PBB-TE (Provider Backbone Bridge - Traffic
Engineering), and T-MPLS (Transport MPLS). This Webinar
unscrambles the acronyms, and assesses the pros and cons of
implementing these technologies.

Filling the Fiber Access Gap
Despite substantial investments in optical fiber
deployments by Service Providers, the majority of business sites
will stay within the “fiber gap” for many years. According to
Vertical Systems Group’s research, business fiber penetration is
at 15% in the U.S. and even less in Europe. Access alternatives
to fiber have become a necessity for delivering new services
that keep pace with escalating bandwidth demand in support of
data, voice, video and mobile services. This Webinar defines
the fiber gap and discusses today’s solutions for filling it
using solutions that utilize Bonded T1/E1, Bonded Copper, T3/E3,
Coax/HFC, WiMax or other access technologies. |

Legacy Services Migration: Layer 2, Layer 3, or Both?
Are
Layer 2 and Layer 3 services complementary or competitive
offerings? These technology choices address differing customer
requirements for connectivity, application support, scalability,
management and security. Today, enterprise customers with legacy
Frame Relay or Private Line networks are migrating to either
Layer 2 services like Ethernet, or Layer 3 IP/MPLS VPNs. Within
the next three years, Dedicated IP/MPLS VPN customer sites in
the U.S. will top the one million threshold and customer
connections to Business Ethernet services will more than double,
according to Vertical Systems Group's research. This Webinar
discusses legacy services migration trends, plus solutions that
support Layer 2 or Layer 3 services, or both.
