Access Types  Descriptions
Scalable high-speed access to the Internet Time Warner Cable's Metro Ethernet provides a more cost-effective, scalable solution than older access services like digital subscriber line (DSL), T-1, and T-3.
Intersite connectivity Metro Ethernet can affordably connect remote LANs within the metropolitan area at native Ethernet LAN speeds, a far better solution than dedicated private lines, Frame Relay, or ATM.
Server consolidation When network servers are centralized at a business's data center or headquarters site, Metro Ethernet allows remote offices to connect to these resources as if these resources were still on site, while reducing the costs associated with maintaining remote office servers.
Hosted service access Metro Ethernet can also provide high-speed, scalable access to offsite hosted or managed services.
Transport for data storage, backup, and recovery Metro Ethernet supports storage system consolidation. Its inherent scalability provides a more cost effective option to older local transport technology, giving any size business the opportunity to protect and retrieve vital data.
Transport for VoIP Metro Ethernet also supports emerging IP PBX systems that utilize Ethernet LAN technology to connect corporate users to the corporate phone system. Metro Ethernet offers a superior solution for remote office connections compared to legacy private line services.
