| 4Connections Introduces FAST Services 4Connections announces that 4Connections will now offer FAST Services, a new lit fiber offering that allows customers full control of their transport services, based on their own corporate network needs. By partnering with ADVA Optical Networking, a provider of Optical+Ethernet technology solutions, the two companies will ensure product interoperability and the highest level of service quality for mission-critical applications, including business continuity, disaster recovery, data center consolidation and remote processing. ADVA is supplying 4Connections with its full portfolio of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Ethernet access products, as well as product installation and maintenance services. 4Connections' FAST Services include consulting, designing and delivering solutions based on clients' individual needs for feeds, provisioning speed and technical networking diversity. For example, 4Connections and ADVA engineers will work with the customers' network team to determine the best optical solution to deliver Ethernet, ATM, TDM, ESCON, FC or FICON on Managed Wide Area Networks. With the feed requirements identified, 4Connections engineers will design a network solution offering with same-day provisioning, for any protocol and bit rate required. The team will then decide key elements to enhance and/or secure network diversity, such as selecting fiber, buffer size, mapping the most direct or secure route, determining the best equipment for the customer site, choosing the available points of building entry, determining environment requirements, selecting optical platforms and identifying carrier hotel access. From simple to complex network solutions, 4Connections' engineers will ensure that clients are making well-informed decisions, which are optimal for their network requirements, right down to the fiber slice. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
