Optical Ethernet
Reliably Manage and Measure Performance of Your Optical Ethernet Connections
If you have access to dark fiber between facilities, using Gigabit Ethernet to interconnect your sites is the obvious choice. What may not be as obvious this: it is nearly impossible to manage, troubleshoot and measure network performance with standard enterprise class switches or routers. For example, imaging you have four sites interconnected through a hub site using optical Ethernet, and would like to monitor the throughput or latency performance of the network for certain application flows, such as VoIP or a web application traffic. What about troubleshooting and fault isolation for those application flows? Overture Networks can help. We offer low cost intelligent Ethernet edge devices, in the ISG 2x and the UTS 4000 families, that can provide the real-time visibility and troubleshooting tools you need to manage today’s optical Ethernet networks. If you are purchasing a Metro Ethernet service, these same products can help you keep an eye on your carrier’s performance, too.
