An Overview of Verizon Business Ethernet Services

Transform your business to help compete in the global marketplace

Verizon Business Ethernet services have the ability to help your company adjust to a constantly evolving environment. With Ethernet you can scale your network by increasing or decreasing your bandwidth to meet your changing needs, helping you control your IT costs while supporting your ability to execute your business strategy.

Verizon’s Ethernet Wide Area Network (WAN) supports integrated messaging services, presence data to phones,voice over IP (VoIP) and more. What’s more is that you can mix and match with new collaboration and legacy solutions – and it is all delivered with the cost-benefits and integration of a single network.

Verizon’s Ethernet services let you customize your network and implement exactly what your business needs. Flexible network configurations are available in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint options in any arrangement with local, national, and extensive international availability. Moreover, upgrades can be delivered in as little as 1Mb per second increments, with up to 10Gb per second available to power your enterprise.

Verizon’s Enterprise Center provides network management capabilities and reporting, as well as management tools that you can use to dynamically adjust bandwidth and shape network performance to the needs of your applications and your end-users. As a one-stop portal for accessing critical resources and information on-demand, the Verizon Enterprise Center lets you know where, when, and how to make the adjustments that will most effectively support your enterprise.

Collaboration across widely dispersed locations is a business essential. Verizon’s Ethernet services have the ability to connect your locations into seamless WAN environments to enhance collaboration. By standardizing audio and web conferencing across your locations, you not only cut down on travel time and expenses, but also provide a way for your geographically dispersed employees to get together and collaborate as if they were in the same room.

Due to the fact that Ethernet WAN uses the same well-known frame format and protocol as LAN Ethernet, your IT staff should already be familiar with its parameters, which saves you time and money by avoiding additional training expenses. And because Ethernet connects the Wide Area Network with cost-effective Local Area Network switches, you don’t need to invest in the routers or Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) components that are associated with legacy access devices. Furthermore, with a common CP interface for LAN and WAN Ethernet services, you realize the efficiencies and consistent performance brought about through standardization.
