Telstra International Plugs Into CENX Ethernet Exchange

By Bob Emmerson, TMC European Editor


Telstra (News - Alert) International, a global provider of managed network services, is extending the reach of its Global Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and Ethernet Virtual Private Line services (EVPL) by connecting into the CENX (News - Alert) Ethernet Exchange in Los Angeles. This connection also demonstrates that Telstra VPLS and EVPL products support the Metro Ethernet Forum’s new MEF (News - Alert) 26 standard.


Telstra International Head of Products Roger Carvosso: “The market for Ethernet services is booming because IT managers value the way it simplifies network management and reduces the complexity of IT infrastructure. However, Ethernet has traditionally been limited by its restricted geographical reach. Expanding the availability of the services through the CENX and utilizing the strength of our coverage in the Asia Pacific region allows our customers to enjoy simple-to manage, secure and flexible network connections into 14 countries across the globe.”

Telstra’s Ethernet portfolio achieved MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications from the Metro Ethernet Forum (News - Alert) in 2010, further assuring customers that the carrier’s services performance standards are upheld across multiple platforms and across multiple vendor solutions that are also MEF certified.

Nan Chen, co-founder and president of CENX: “We are delighted to have such a successful global provider of Carrier Ethernet Services as a member of CENX. Telstra has been on the leading edge of deploying innovative applications that benefit from the attributes of Carrier Ethernet. CENX’s ability to deliver applications seamlessly and globally to more than 15 million ESLs without cumbersome integration will generate significant new revenue opportunities for both Telstra and its partners.”
