EDSR supports private line (DS1-OCn) and Gigabit Ethernet and capacity for scaling
from OC-12 to OC-192 are planned for the future. The service is available in bandwidth
increments of 50 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 450 Mbps, 600 Mbps, and 1 Gbps.
This RPR based service is designed to address the needs of large enterprise organizations.
The following applications and benefits derive from this network offering.
Network Convergence Currently, most enterprises have a patchwork of technologies
within their WAN network. By converging all services onto one packet-based network,
significant savings arise from establishing a more uniform network platform.
Multimedia and Application Convergence Verizon expects packet video and VOIP
traffic to increase rapidly. The Yankee Group projects VOIP traffic to double in the
next two years. Video is expected to follow the same trajectory. A packet-based RPR
network will provide them with the QoS and resilience required of these high-bandwidth
applications.
Migration to IP Enterprise customers are transitioning their multi-office connectivity
from private line and Frame Relay to IP so they can build IP-VPNs.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery The requirement to maintain corporate
data integrity in times of distress or chaos is driving the need for survivable data networks
that insure access to crucial data.
