Ethernet VPN
Ethernet VPN – Demanding networking
With Ethernet VPN communication in the entire WAN (Wide Area Network) is as easy, secure and fast as in the LAN (Local Area Network).
Facts & figures
- Reduction of the total cost of ownership (TCO) through simplification of maintenance and administration by using existing Ethernet technology.
- Cost savings through cost-effective NT-CPE hardware.
- Continued above-average market growth for carrier Ethernet services in Germany (E-line and E-LAN) with nearly 20% p.a. from EUR 488 million in 2011 to EUR 789 million in 2014 forecast.
- MPLS / Ethernet hybrid network: large companies operate MPLS and Ethernet networks in parallel (Ethernet with large bandwidths for data centers and main locations, IP for large branch networks) (source: Forrester. The Recession Will Accelerate European Ethernet Services Adoption, Mai 2009)
Technology
- Usage of high bandwidths of n x 1 Gbit/s
- Speed and real-time behavior: runtimes of less than 20 milliseconds possible (e.g. for Storage Area Networks)
- High availability through redundant backbone structures and backup modules in the local loop
- Possibility of centralizing IT (e.g. file, print and application servers)
More and more companies are obtaining their

resources dynamically from a data center or are linking corporate locations with company headquarters. A secure connection is essential in both cases. Ethernet
VPNVPNVirtual Private Networks are made-to-measure, network-based voice solutions that enable companies to integrate multiple locations into a single network – without the cost of setting up their own corporate infrastructure. A VPN supports applications such as central dial-in, central switchboard, teleworking, customer telephone services and contact management.
solutions are particularly cost-effective, flexible and secure. That makes this connection standard an interesting option for many companies. After all, 72% of them want to decrease their costs for TC and network services according to a study conducted by analysts at Forrester. Practically all local corporate networks are already using the high bandwidths of
EthernetEthernet
Ethernet is a cable-based data-network technology for local-area networks (LANs). It enables data exchange between all devices connected to the LAN (computers, printers, etc.). While traditional Ethernet networks were restricted to a single building, the technology is now also used to connect devices across great distances.
technology. With a VPN solution based on the Ethernet protocol businesses can connect local networks with various locations, connect data centers and use TC systems. Companies manage their IP routers themselves, thus retaining sovereignty through the IP address concept. The same high standard everywhere
Whether it be network design competence, installation, configuration or management of Ethernet VPN solutions: at T-Systems companies receive all services from one source. And they can rely on the ICT competence and experience of the Telekom subsidiary for large, international rollouts.
