ETHERNET

MEF-Certified Ethernet provides scalable building blocks for LAN, MAN or WAN connectivity. Our market-leading coverage in India is seamlessly integrated with direct coverage to all major commercial centers globally enabling Data Center-centric connectivity along the Emerging Markets Corridor for data replication of data across geographically diverse virtual machines.

Connect any location in India securely and flexibly with seamless reach to the US, Europe, Middle East or Asia

India is home to the world’s fastest-growing economy. Chances are your business needs to be able to connect to your own offices or those of a partner or supplier in this vast sub-continent.

With almost 220 PoPs spread throughout the length and breadth of the country, we own and operate the largest, most extensive Ethernet network in India.

And now this market-leading coverage is linked seamlessly to an extensive international Ethernet network which reaches far into the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

Point-to-point, hub-&-spoke and fully-meshed configuration; our Ethernet is the ideal building block to connect sites throughout the world in LAN, MAN or WAN.

MEF CE 2.0 Certified flexible topologies

Sites can be connected in a number of flexible ways:

  • Connect 2 sites directly with point-to-point (MEF E-Line or E-Access)
  • Link multiple sites in a classic hub-&-spoke configuration (MEF E-Tree)
  • Create an any-to-any fully-meshed VPLS network (MEF E-LAN)
Inherently secure with the plug-&-play simplicity of Ethernet

End-to-end Ethernet leverages in-built security allowing you to retain exclusive control over your IP architecture, IP version, address scheme and routing tables.

Flexible Service Options to meet your specific needs

We understand the need to be flexible. That’s why Ethernet comes with a number of service options to meet your specific needs:

  • Managed Service – End-to-end performance visibility through managed CPE allowing real-time SLA adherence, proactive alarm monitoring and dedicated Service Management
  • FlexE usage-based billing – Ideal for connecting into Cloud Data Centers hosting “bursty” applications liked Big-Data, or applications like Disaster Recovery or back-up with high throughput on a periodic basis

End-to-end performance guarantees

Class of Service provides end-to-end performance guarantees to ensure your critical traffic is received within specified parameters, backed by SLAs covering Service Availability, Round Trip Delay, Packet Loss and Jitter.
