And with most of the servers in an enterprise coming
with Ethernet interfaces, and Ethernet becoming a viable candidate for high-speed
data transfers, Carrier Ethernet services will inevitably be used increasingly (as
opposed to traditional storage specific solutions such as Fibre Channel etc.).
?– High Speed Internet (HSI) / Internet Access The number of shared, bandwidth
intensive and business enabling applications (accessible) on/through the
public Internet (or the ???web??™) will inevitably increase; this, along with the increasing
importance of the end user experience (which is becoming less tolerant to delays
etc) will drive the need for higher speed Internet access.
?– Mobile/Wireless backhaul As mobile/wireless applications will continue to explode,
and new bandwidth intensive applications proliferate (increasingly personalized,
streaming and web enabled), wireless Service Providers will have to focus
on reducing the cost of the transport between the cellular base stations and their
POPs/COs (where they aggregate traffic from base stations and transport on their
backbones) since this is/will be a significant component (estimated variously at
nearly 25%) of the overall cost.
