Extend Your Ethernet LAN Across a Wide Area Network
XO Ethernet VPLS allows you to extend your Ethernet LAN across your Wide Area Network (WAN) and combine it into a single network that gives you the:
- Privacy of ATM/Frame Relay or Private Line
- Performance and resiliency of MPLS IP-VPN
- Affordability, simplicity, and scalability of Ethernet.
Ethernet VPLS is a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (VPN) providing any-to-any connectivity. It is ideal for multi-location businesses with the following needs:
- Connect data centers/Storage Area Networks, contact or media centers
- Support special applications like VoIP or video
- Transport IP and non-IP applications over the same network
- Maintain separate network domains as if they were on the same Ethernet LAN regardless of locations
Ethernet VPLS Key Advantages:
- Maintain network control--you do not need to share address and routing information with the service provider
- Privately transport both IP and non-IP traffic
- Obtain the highest levels of network performance, cost efficiency and scalability with competitive SLAs/Class of Service Options.
With one of the largest Ethernet footprints in the U.S., XO Communications delivers Ethernet VPLS to more than 75 major metro areas over the XO nationwide MPLS network, which uses the industry’s most advanced technology.
- Bandwidth Options: ranging from 3 Mbps to 1 Gbps, depending on type of access
- Fiber, Ethernet over Copper/Serial and Broadband Wireless Access - with more nationwide Ethernet over Copper access than most other service providers
