Simply put, broadband and Ethernet provide the foundation of the new network.
Read MoreWhen during the last four years that enterprises starting thinking differently about their networks?
Read MoreFor most businesses, network connectivity is critical. Downtime costs money, reduces productivity, and can even hurt your reputation. We polled 235 professionals to find out if they currently have SLAs with their vendors
Read MoreIn today’s digital landscape, ensuring network scalability and performance is top of mind for businesses across a variety of industries.
Read MoreVideo has been around much longer than patient portal web sites, healthcare apps and consumable wearables. But, as with “how-to” videos online, video has become an important format for educating patients
Read MoreEnterprises are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of their networks—how what used to be considered a tactical necessity has evolved into a strategic asset. They now recognize that high-performance services are core to their business strategy—that is, their ability to quickly share data internally, distribute data externally and collaborate globally.
Read MoreToday, we are seeing an explosion of personal, wearable, or otherwise easily accessible devices and apps used to track activity and fitness levels, monitor health problems and even diagnose disease.
Read MoreOur never-ending hunger for more data and bandwidth has resulted in an unintended consequence – a substantial increase in global energy consumption.
Read MoreThe age of digital technologies has had a major impact on a variety of industries –healthcare in particular.
Read MoreCommunication technology has come a long way since the days of the switchboard operator, but there is still progress to be made.
Read MoreEmployees are working from home more than ever before, and that has an impact on the enterprise network infrastructure – applications and resources must be securely and reliably available.
Read MoreEthernet has come a long way since it was first introduced, but even now, it is just getting started.
Read MoreEthernet has become not just the dominant standard, but the universal technology of local area networking. If you plug a networking cable in at work or at home, it’s almost certainly going to be using Ethernet.
Read MoreEthernet as a data networking technology has been in wide use for many years, keeping pace with the network speeds demanded by applications and adding key service management and quality of service (QoS) attributes needed to succeed beyond the local area network (LAN).
Read MoreA business is no longer just about connecting up all the resources within one building. Companies beyond a certain size will almost certainly have multiple locations, which will require linking up as seamlessly as possible, so that they appear and function as one enterprise to employees in all premises.
Read MoreBy linking key locations via Ethernet, businesses can avoid the bottlenecks and security breaches that plague the public Internet. Traffic that otherwise might have taken a convoluted route, via a patchwork of networks, can now flow more efficiently to its destination over a dedicated low-latency connection.
Read MoreCarrier Ethernet services have seen significant growth over the last decade, most recently being driven by the uptake in cloud services. Now SDN will bring greater performance and cost efficiency to optical transport networks and carrier Ethernet services, further driving this growth.
Read MoreWhether managing a campus network or specialized enterprise wide area network (WAN), cost control is a paramount concern as IT budgets are under constant pressure and return on investment is routinely scrutinized.
Read MoreIn today’s connected world, real-time access to information is often critical to the success of an organization. A wise technology organization will mitigate risks of telecommunication outages by introducing a diverse data carrier. But sometimes technology leaders who understand the need for implementing diverse carriers are unable to sell their CFO or budget committee on approving the funds to mitigate the risks of network downtime.
Read MoreToday’s networks have a lot of ground to cover. The resources companies depend on—cloud-based applications, remote offices, and centralized data centers, to name a few—can be located a significant distance from the business.
Read MoreHealthcare providers are under constant pressure to improve care while making operations more efficient and cost-effective. Spurred in part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, they are turning to information technology to enhance services, improve productivity, and be more efficient.
Read MoreUntil recently, business continuity (also known as disaster recovery) was more of an afterthought than a priority for companies. Even when there were plans in place, they were rarely updated or tested.
Read MoreBeginning in the early 2000s, the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) pioneered the development of Carrier Ethernet—Ethernet for use in wide-area networks (WANs)—by classifying several significant carrier-grade attributes that distinguish it from the more familiar enterprise local-area network (LAN) Ethernet.
Read MoreEthernet has been around for 40 years, and in that time has become the dominant networking technology for organizations around the world. Ethernet reliably and securely links computers, servers, storage, and other devices while minimizing the latency that doesn’t just slow down data, but can slow down business, as well.
