The Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange development program consists of a platform for multi-provider carrier Ethernet interconnection that meets Metro Ethernet Forum standards. The program is reviewing a variety of solutions including Ethernet Network to Network Interconnection (NNI) and additional services that leverage the density and breadth of networks operating within Equinix's centers. The platform is available at Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers globally using Alcatel-Lucent's service routing portfolio. "Demand for AboveNet's Ethernet services continues to grow," said Philip Olivero, vice president of Engineering for AboveNet. "The current process for extending our Ethernet service offering outside of our service area requires the establishment of multiple, complex interconnection relationships with other carriers. A multi-carrier Ethernet exchange platform would simplify interconnection, reduce costs and speed delivery of Ethernet services to off-net customer locations." http://www.equinix.com 03-Nov-09     Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Service Provider News Verizon Business Extends Cloud Services with VMware 8/31/2010 SingTel Launches Services over NGNBN Fibre 8/31/2010 Singapore's Next Gen Nationwide Broadband Network Launches 8/31/2010 Clearwire Offers Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband, $5/Day 8/30/2010 SK Telecom Selects ALU's MPLS-TP Packet Optical Backhaul 8/27/2010 Taiwan's Chunghwa Sees Further FTTx Substitution for ADSL 8/26/2010 Qwest Introduces Cloud-based Recovery Service 8/26/2010 FiberTech Networks Sold to Investor Group for $500 Million 8/26/2010 eircom Wholesale Launches Carrier Ethernet Across Ireland 8/26/2010 Kenya's Safaricom Deploys NSN's Subscriber Data Platform 8/25/2010 IBM Warns that Security Vulnerabilities Reach Record Levels 8/25/2010 Google Enables Phone Calling from Gmail 8/25/2010 China Telecom to Accelerate FTTH and Mobile Rollouts 8/25/2010 AT&T Adds VoIP Service to Enterprise VPN Service 8/24/2010 China Mobile Tops 554 Million Customers 8/19/2010 > More news...     Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton
