Qwest Metro Optical Ethernet (QMOE)

2008-08-16

Case Study - Upgrade from Frame Relay and ATM to Qwest Metro Optical Ethernet (MOE)

Customer Background

  1. Oregon’s largest business-oriented MSP/ISP has thousands of demanding business customers. This ISP uses multiple redundant backbone connections the best connected Tier 1 providers in the world which provide this company''s upstream Internet bandwidth.
  2. Currently providing LEC DS-1 Frame Relay with full DS-1 and DS-3 ports to end-users with inter-networked PVC’s to two 45Mb ATM port at the host site.
  3. The customer has a state of art NOC. The customer will support their own applications, storage, archival and retrieval of all data.

Customer Need

  1. with tremendous growth over the past years, this ISP was looking to upgrade their network transport capacity, particularly for business customers connecting their offices to the ISP collocation data center and for Internet connectivity.

Solution

  1. 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity (a estimated 300% increase) at the host site.
  2. Qwest Metro Optical Ethernet (MOE) - QC service combines the power of Ethernet and optical technologies across metropolitan area networks (MANs) to provide low cost, scalable and secure bandwidth. Qwest MOE - QC provides local area network (LAN)-to-LAN connectivity between two or more customer locations within a metro area. The Qwest MOE - QC solution is based on distributed Layer 2 switching and shared transport data bandwidth, and is suitable for data applications. MOE combines the power of Ethernet and optical technologies across metropolitan area networks (MANs) to provide low cost, scalable and secure bandwidth.
  3. Port Type: 10/100 Mbps - Bandwidth Profiles (Tiers) 5 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
  4. Port Type: 1000 Mbps - Bandwidth Profiles (Tiers) 5 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000

Results & Benefits

  1. Simplified Network Design
  2. A 300% connectivity increase resulting in increased performance of all applications
  3. Monthly Recurring Charge $.  A decrease of 30% over the existing Frame Relay and ATM configuration.
  4. Quos and SLA’s will be supported running on 10-100 Mbps Ethernet circuits
