“Networks are the pulsating life support systems of today’s enterprises,” says Ciaran Roche, Lead Technical Consultant for Vanco, the global Virtual Network Operator. “Like their counterparts in the human body they can become easily blocked and congested, which puts additional strain on the system and leads to underperforming business processes, resulting in higher costs and missed opportunities.”
That is why, Roche says, Vanco recently launched ‘Ethernet Engaged,” a solution that connects the traditional carriers’ multitude of services into a single, efficient, cost-effective wide area Ethernet available to enterprises around the globe. Along with rapid service provisioning, it allows enterprises to monitor, diagnose and centrally manage their network.
Ethernet Engaged allows enterprises to connect to any service in any location, eliminating duplicate skill sets and dependence on expensive leased lines. It allows you to exploit the cost savings of using Ethernet to connect large offices or data centers globally. Ethernet Engaged utilizes services, domestically and internationally, from a range of providers, to build a customized solution.
Royal Haskoning, a global, independent consultancy for architecture and engineering, chose Vanco’s Ethernet Engaged for its cost savings potential and flexibility. “The ability to offer a highly flexible cross-border Ethernet solution was one of the key drivers for the decision to work with Vanco,” said Hendrik-Jan Smaal, IT-Director at Royal Haskoning.
Ethernet Engaged is most suitable in connecting large offices or data centers, where the amount of traffic carried over the link makes it difficult for technologies such as MPLS, as the port charges can be extremely high at these larger sites.
Ethernet Engaged compliments the other offerings in Vanco’s Data Services portfolio – including MPLS Matrix, IP Secure and DIA – to provide the most comprehensive range of enterprise connectivity solutions.
