cost as if they were located at the same site.
High speed capacity coupled with sustainable
cost, enables effective real-time collaboration between different
parts of organisations, fast transmission of data, deployment of
distributed applications throughout the organisation and fast easy
access to data from any location.
Ethernet Extensions Plus
Here at ntl:Telewest Business, we’ve been delivering Ethernet
Extensions to wholesale and business customers for over ten years
now and have installed over 11,000 circuits. The next generation of
Ethernet Extension, Ethernet Extension Plus is a new service is
packed with enhancements that include up to 7 Classes of Service,
rate limiting and optional web-based performance management
reporting.
Ethernet Extensions Plus is available nationally between sites
that are up to 35km apart at 10/100Mbit/s and 1Gbit/s. The
service is robust and inherently secure because it’s delivered over
a dedicated fibre pair. Here’s just a few of the key features:
- Cost effective - whether you need multiple circuits or a single
connection, the service can be substantially more cost effective
than alternative solutions, such as Leased Lines, particularly if
large volumes of information is being moved between sites.
- Predictable budgeting - rental charges are fixed and detailed
in advance to enable easier and predictable budgeting.
- Seamless & responsive - providing high availability and
grade of service regardless of location.
