Today, we are happy to share the news of some exciting changes happening at Overture.

This week, we officially re-launched our brand, and I would like to personally introduce you to the new Overture.  In addition to the visible changes to our logo and on our website, this important move completes the transformation of the combining Overture and Hatteras Networks into a single, unified company.

Our look and story re-affirms our commitment to providing our customers with an entrance to a smarter network—one that’s more powerful and more creative.

We do this by being reliable, by making it easy to do business with us and by offering innovative Carrier Ethernet edge and aggregation solutions that help our customers compete in a crowded marketplace.  

It has been a whirlwind week in New York for Light Reading’s Ethernet Expo event.  My company, Overture Networks, was there in force to meet with dozens of customers and partners at what has easily become the largest Carrier Ethernet focused event in North America.

Industry Consensus: Carrier Ethernet Best for Delivering Cloud-based Services.

Here at Carrier Ethernet News, we strive to solicit the most reputable and knowledgeable industry experts as contributors to our feature series. As we close out our four-part series on Carrier Ethernet delivering Cloud-based services, we’re pleased to have gotten fantastic input from some individuals recognized as being influential in their respective fields and we are thankful for their time and contribution. So, as we move forward, it’s worthwhile to recap some of the highlights from the Cloud features written by our regular contributor Joan Engebretson over the past month.

In the first installment in this series, we reported that service provider CapEx spending on Carrier Ethernet equipment seems to be overtaking spending on SONET/SDH in transport applications and that the respondents overwhelmingly (nearly 100 percent agreement) indicated support for Carrier Ethernet in the access portion of the network, while closer to 80 percent support its use in the core.

The TIA is back in the live event business with a new event called “TIA 2011: Inside the Network.”

And I’m here in Grapevine, TX, just outside Dallas, soaking it all in and looking for signs of intelligent Carrier Ethernet life. With this new event, TIA has the chance to cast away its old baggage and the ghosts of SuperComm-GlobalComm-NexComm-WhateverComm past.
