ColoServe Announces Availability of Metro Ethernet Service
New Service Allows Companies to Increase Network Redundancy and Speed While Cutting Costs
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 11, 2006 – ColoServe, a leading San Francisco colocation and managed service provider, announced today the availability of several new metro Ethernet products. Now, leveraging ColoServe's Screaming-Fast NetworkT and the latest Internet networking technology, businesses can increase the bandwidth and redundancy of their networks while lowering costs.
"We're excited to be offering our new LanExtender, NetExtender, and DataExtender metro Ethernet products to our customers," said John Keagy, president, ColoServe. "Use of metro Ethernet services is growing due to the many benefits it offers, including faster provisioning, superior flexibility and greater capacity. ColoServe recognizes the value this service brings to our customers because now they can experience these benefits while connecting at a very high speed to both the Internet and off-site servers they put in our secure data center - so fast, it feels as though the servers were still in their office."
Metro Ethernet allows customers to consolidate services such as colocation, disaster recovery, off-site backups and Internet access through a single vendor, which often results in greater operational efficiency for an IT department. The ability to use a high-speed fiber connection to connect an office to a colocation provider makes hosting critical production or backup servers off-site more compelling. In the event of a power outage, critical applications are still accessible via a high-capacity Internet connection, resulting in zero down time.
Metro Ethernet technology has been in existence for some time, but is just now becoming popular due to increasing demand for Internet connectivity. It offers higher performance and more bandwidth at a lower cost than traditional telco circuits such as T1 lines and requires that no specialized equipment be installed at the customer's office.
"As a business owner, you want to keep your network up and running all the time," Keagy continued. "The loss of productivity from a power outage or slow connections to the Internet or between offices can amount to thousands, even millions, of dollars. Metro Ethernet service from ColoServe provides reliability and performance so that companies don't have to worry about staying connected. It's become an important part of business continuity and disaster recovery plans for many companies."
ColoServe's metro Ethernet service is currently available to customers in the San Francisco Bay Area. For companies with critical servers that need to be in a redundant environment, it can be combined with other colocation services.
