Layer 2 Ethernet: A regional approach for decreasing complexity
and cost while optimizing performance and capacity
Wednesday November 17, 2010 2:00 PM ET 11:00AM PT

If reducing your transport costs and enhancing the performance of your IP network is an objective of your organization, 360networks, in conjunction with Alcatel-Lucent, would like to invite you to a joint interactive Webinar that can help.
Carriers are experiencing exponential growth in Internet traffic volumes. Peering and direct connectivity to content can enhance performance but can be cost prohibitive, particularly when one considers all the costs. Now there is an alternative.
This webinar will explain how Layer 2 Ethernet can be leveraged to quickly and cost effectively scale your capacity, decrease network complexity, improve and optimize performance, and realize significant savings in OpEx and CapX.
In case study format, this webinar provides details on how 360networks’ Layer 2 Ethernet build-out with Alcatel-Lucent results in a regional layer 2 Ethernet platform that provides scalable bandwidth with cost efficiencies well beyond what is currently available. Participants will learn how, through a single interface, they can access major carrier hotels, data centers, and Internet Exchange points for peering. Further, participants will gain an understanding of the flexibility of Layer 2 Ethernet including configuration options and multiservice access.

What Attendees will learn:
- How to cost justify an evolution from IP Transit to Internet peering through virtualized Internet exchange.
- How a single interconnection can provide more bandwidth, more efficiently than even 10Gig Layer 1 Transport.
- How to reduce cost per Mb and reduce under-utilization of Layer 1 wavelengths or private line services to each exchange point.
Who should attend
- Local, regional and wireless ISPs
- Data center operators
- 3G – 4G Wireless carriers
- VSPs
- Cable MSOs
- Rural Telephone companies
- Content distribution networks
