Can Ethernet Transform WAN Networks and Productivity while Supporting “Financial-Grade” Security and Reliability?
Banks and financial services firms want the total cost of ownership of WAN Ethernet, but cannot compromise on security, reliability, or manageability. Many financial companies require isolated WAN circuits for their backbone traffic. Carrier Ethernet services over SONET/SDH provide this capability in combination with Ethernet’s TCO. The number one benefit Yankee Group survey respondents cited in their selection of Ethernet was improved network reliability. Ethernet QoS provides network quality measurements that align with high-performance networking and management standards. SLAs include guarantees for packet loss, latency, jitter, and network availability. Enterprise users cited the ability to enable new business applications as another key decision driver. Ethernet adopters are acting on the opportunity to upgrade their WAN using a technology that is both cost-efficient and future-proof, meeting or exceeding the performance characteristics of legacy data services, while laying the gr
