EtherCloud simplifies the delivery of Ethernet and VPLS services over a global footprint (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) –- IP and Ethernet wholesale carrier Tinet ( www.tinet.net ) announced on Monday it has launched its global wholesale offering, EtherCloud ( www.ethercloud.tinet.net ), a new service that transforms and simplifies the delivery of Ethernet and VPLS services over a global footprint. The Layer 2 platform connects diverse partner networks into a single Ethernet cloud that delivers end-to-end Ethernet and VPLS connectivity around the world. Tinet says the platform is the result of integrating individual product and systems from Tinet and its parent company, Neutral Tandem. EtherCloud offers customers flexible interconnectivity options so they can choose where and how they want to interconnect at any of Tinet’s 120 global points of presence. “We designed the service to deliver a compelling value proposition, to simplify and streamline customers’ off-net interconnections, to extend their network reach and to market their local Ethernet services to customers worldwide,” says Paolo Gambini, chief marketing officer of Tinet. “The offering is further strengthened by end-to-end SLAs to meet the demands of enterprise customers.” Tinet says that EtherCloud is designed to meet a range of customers including local/regional carriers, ISPs, value added resellers and systems integrators. Through a single E-NNI, EtherCloud members can buy Ethernet and VPLS connectivity, as well as sell their own services to other EtherCloud members globally.
