    2. Carrier Ethernet Defined So the way Carrier Ethernet has been defined, is the way traditional Ethernet was defined – by classifying attributes. And we define standardized services – initially point-to-point and multipoint-multipoint services for transparent private line, VPL & LAN services, but we’re adding new service types like e-Tree too. These offer ubiquitous global & local service via standardized equipment requiring no change to the customer’s LAN and existing connectivity. The services are ideal for converged voice, video & data networks and offer choice and granularity of bandwidth & QoS options. So the services you sell are well-defined, globally recognized standard services. The secondly attribute is reliability. Ethernet has traditionally been known as the best effort technology – not necessarily a bad thing, because the reason Ethernet became number one was because it was the cheapest good enough technology. But when it becomes carrier-class, you want to make sure there's a reliability component built in. Today’s Carrier Ethernet can detect & recover rapidly from incidents, as low as 50ms recovery without impacting users. It meets the most demanding quality and availability needs for critical business applications. Next is the scalability. We want to make sure we'll be able to scale from a speed perspective – scalable, granular bandwidth from 1to 10Gbps and beyond. Carrier Ethernet spans access, metro, national & global services over variety of infrastructures, service providers & MSOs, so that millions can use a service that is ideal for widest range of business, communications & entertainment applications with voice, video and data. Then comes Quality of Service, with as wide a choice and granularity of QoS options as of bandwidth options. The MEF has defined standards that allow Service Level Agreements (SLAs) matching the needs of voice, video & data over converged business & residential networks, because we set exacting standards for such characteristics as CIR, frame loss, delay & delay variation. So the fifth one is service management. What we have defined is carrier class OAM, with the ability to monitor, diagnose & centrally manage via standards-based vendor independent implementations. This means rapid service provisioning. Most of the service providers today are experiencing somewhere between 200% to 300% growth in the United States, as well as in Hong Kong. Carrier Ethernet’s service management facility helps them to maintain and accelerate their service provisioning to new customers as well as updating existing services.

    3. Carrier Ethernet for Business Summary

    5. Virginia Mason Medical Center

    6. Virginia Mason Medical Center The Legacy WAN: Based on satellite and multiple T1’s Replacement Network Criteria: High speed. Required 100mb+ connection to each remote branch and clinic. Reliable – zero packet loss to ensure real-time transfer of large images to multiple clinics. Scalable – to support upgrade from 4-16-64 slice CT scans. Cost – VMMC is a non-profit organization.

    7. Virginia Mason Medical Center The Benefits: VMCC can now provide a centralized diagnostics service. Real-time transfer and diagnosis of images whilst patient is still in the scanner. Centralized diagnostics service – multiple specialists based in different locations viewing identical image. Significantly reduces time and costs associated with patient diagnosis. Exceeded customer expectations. Very cost efficient.

    9. Chicago Mercantile Exchange

    10. Chicago Mercantile Exchange The Legacy WAN: Based on Frame Relay & ATM. Speed, scalability & pricing were constraining factors. Replacement Network Criteria: Scalable - from 20mb to 100mb & eventually 1Gb to customer premises. Reliability - with zero packet loss. Performance – latency of less then 3ms. Provisioning & management. Security. Global availability. Cost.

    11. Chicago Mercantile Exchange The Solution: Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL). The Benefits: Cost-effective bandwidth increments to their customers. Easier to maintain, support and scale. Met or exceeded replacement network specification criteria. V-LAN tagging provided network security demanded by CME customers. Migration - transitioned 200 clients within first 9 months. Sound platform for future growth. Customer satisfaction.

    13. New York Law School

    14. New York Law School The Legacy WAN: Multiple T1 circuits. Wireless link between main building and temporary accommodation across the street. Replacement Network Criteria: Scalable – to meet current + future bandwidth demands of new applications such as IPTV & collaborative learning. High-speed Internet access. Provisioning & management. Seamless virtual LAN between main campus and HoR. Cost.

    15. New York Law School The Solution: Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL). The Benefits: Cost-effective bandwidth increments as required. Easier to maintain, support and scale. Secure V-LAN. Future proof foundation for new applications.

    16. Bergen County School

    17. A Key Market for Carrier Ethernet

    18. Carrier Ethernet Addresses Key IT Issues Key IT Benefits Accelerates implementations with reduced resources for overburdened IT departments to improve productivity Enables new applications and simplifies application development. Traditional WAN infrastructures can’t scale or meet new performance requirements Simplifies operations for worldwide standardized business services and control over network application elements Provides highly responsive changes to bandwidth demands Reduces operational costs
