VSNL Singapore Pte Ltd (VSNL International), the international arm of VSNL has introduced its dedicated global ethernet private line service connecting major cities throughout North America, Europe and Asia along with an extensive footprint connecting 120 cities in India.

Using a SDH / SONET platform to ensure low latency and high reliability, this scalable, high performance solutions enables enterprises to economically extend their local area networks to support global video, voice and data transport and to securely and seamlessly send point-to-point traffic between destinations across the world.

The new offering, using SDH / SONET, complements VSNL's global offering of ethernet over MPLS.

Dedicated global ethernet offers bandwidth between 2-1,000 Megabits per second with the flexibility to upgrade to the bandwidth on an as needed basis without service interruption. Customers improve cash flow and reduce costs by eliminating long-term commitments to purchase capacity that will not be needed for some time; they purchase today what is needed today and only upgrade as demand dictates.

Enterprises can increase bandwidth as their usage grows, and carriers are able to cost-effectively manage the evolving demands of their growing customer bases.

"Reliable, secure and easy-to-manage Ethernet over the wide area network is a rapidly growing connection of choice for metro and national WAN implementations, a transition being facilitated by the excellent work of the metro ethernet forum, or MEF" says Vinod Kumar, president, VSNL International.

He adds, "Dedicated global ethernet from VSNL International provides the benefits of the ethernet WAN to enterprises and carriers but on a global scale. It capitalises on the unique reach and scale of the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd's worldwide network, an integration of the networks of the VSNL and its Tyco Global Network and Teleglobe acquisitions."

Dedicated global ethernet provides point to point isolated data links, excellent jitter and latency performance, and no-service-interrupting bandwidth upgrades.

The flexibility of ethernet helps enterprises and carriers reduce their total cost of ownership and improve cash flow by eliminating bandwidth forecasting and providing non-service-interrupting bandwidth upgrades. Finance, media and healthcare companies or any institution with large bandwidth requirements will prefer dedicated global ethernets rigorous data security and high performance.
