Verizon Business Global Managed Ethernet

Global Managed Ethernet is one of the latest services added to the Verizon Business managed services portfolio, due in large part to the growing popularity of Carrier Ethernet. The new managed offerings include Ethernet Virtual Private Line Service, Virtual Private Local Area Network (LAN) Service, and Ethernet Private Line Service. Furthermore, consumers that utilize Private IP Layer 2 can select a managed service as well. Verizon Ethernet services can be employed alone, or in combination with additional network services for a comprehensive end-to-end, global managed network solution.

Verizon Business’s Vice President of networking and communication solutions, Anthony Recine, is very enthused about the latest offering, stating that this will be the first time “customers can combine the power of MPLS and Ethernet in a fully managed end-end-to-end global networking solution.” He went on to say that Verizon’s Ethernet and Private IP services “deliver an ideal business communications platform to handle big-bandwidth applications in a similar fashion, no matter where they are located around the world.”

Verizon’s managed services support a diverse array of applications, including unified communications, distance learning, business and storage continuity, VoIP, content delivery, and large file transfers.

According to the group VP of marketing research firm IDC, Courtney Munroe, this addition is a crucial development for international businesses searching for a managed global solution for Carrier Ethernet services. Munroe believes that this new service from Verizon is a cost-efficient substitute to taking on the “burden of managing a complex global network on their own.” In addition, the service also provides the added value of Verizon’s secure infrastructure and global support.

Moreover, customers of Verizon’s Managed Network services have the benefit of the Verizon Enterprise Center (VEC) and Verizon Enterprise Center Mobile (VEC Mobile). The VEC is a self-service portal available 24/7 in 11 languages that lets you pay and review bills, monitor your business’s network performance, check the status of your orders, open trouble tickets, choose to receive an eco-friendly paperless bill, and request new services securely. VEC Mobile allows you to access and receive information in near-real time while using a mobile device.
