New York, NY, USA – April 24, 2012 – TELEHOUSE America, the leading provider of dedicated data centers, international Internet exchanges, and managed IT services, announces its New York and Los Angeles data centers are now SSAE 16 Type 1 compliant, having successfully completed the rigorous independent assessments required of the SSAE 16 standard.

TELEHOUSE America’s three New York facilities, TELEHOUSE New York Chelsea, 25 Broadway, and the Teleport, as well as its Los Angeles Center, located at 626 Wilshire Boulevard, have voluntarily completed a stringent audit of its internal business processes and IT controls, including physical security, environmental security, logical security, and network security.

“For many of our customers, an SSAE 16 compliant facility is a requirement when selecting a data center,” says Fred Cannone, Director of Sales and Marketing at TELEHOUSE America. “Choosing to independently undergo this rigorous inspection further confirms TELEHOUSE’s commitment to providing our customer with the best service possible.”

Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 is an internationally recognized third party assurance audit designed for service organizations. Unlike SAS 70, SSAE-16 is an “attest” standard, falling under the attestation framework, rather than the “auditing” framework of the SAS 70 standard. Service auditors first must obtain management’s written assertion and then express an opinion on the fair presentation of each facility’s system and the suitability of its design for the period covered by the report.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, April 3, 2012 – Carrier Ethernet News (CEN), a leading source of Carrier Ethernet industry news, information, and commentary, today announced its 2012 Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) webinar series. The first installment, “Transforming Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Concepts into Business Winning Realities”, slated for May 2, 2012 at 13:00 GMT / 9:00 am EDT, brings together the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), Cyan, and Overture to address new opportunities and potential offered by CE 2.0 migrations. With this webinar series, CEN promises to bring greater understanding and awareness of this second generation of Carrier Ethernet.

“CE 2.0 represents the next stage in the evolution of a technology that is a fundamental part of today’s communications infrastructure. Its impact is already being felt throughout the industry, with early adopters already rolling out new CE 2.0-based services,” said Nan Chen, president, MEF. “This webinar will illustrate its benefits, such as increased revenues and greater service differentiation, as well as helping attendees prepare to make the leap to CE 2.0 in their own operations.”

The “Transforming Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Concepts into Business Winning Realities” webinar will enable attendees to explore this second generation of Carrier Ethernet. Webinar speakers include Nan Chen, president, MEF; Scott Knox, director of solutions development, Overture; and Rafael Francis, Sr. director of solutions marketing, Cyan.

MEF und Bob Metcalfe kündigen Carrier Ethernet 2.0 an

Bob Metcalfe, der Erfinder des Ethernet und Advisory Director beim MEF, hat die Einführung des Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) angekündigt, das sich durch drei leistungsstarke und standardisierte Funktionen auszeichnet: Multiple Classes of Service (Multi-CoS), Interconnect und Manageability, die die Bereitstellung verschiedener Anwendungen über verwaltete und miteinander verbundene Netze weltweit ermöglichen. CE 2.0 ist eine weiterentwickelte Generation der standardis

Carrier Ethernet CE2, la version ultime

Depuis 1973, le réseau Ethernet n’a cessé d’évoluer pour supporter diYérents câblages et des vitesses plus élevées. La version Wi-Fi et celle destinée aux opérateurs, les produits "Carrier Ethernet", sont en révolution permanente.

L’inventeur en 1973 d’Ethernet, Bob Metcalfe, l’ex-PDG de 3Comet  actuellement  professeur d’université à Standford, n’a pasmanqué  le  lancement  de  la toute dernière mouture d’Ethernet destinée aux communications d’opérateurs. Il préci- sait lors de cet événement, à Net Events, fin février : «CRien qu’en 2011, selon le cabinet d’études IDC, plus de 1,2 milliard de ports Ether- net ont été vendus dont 400 millions de prises fixes et 800 millions d’émetteurs Wi-Fi.C»La ver- sion pour les opérateurs, lancée il y a dix ans déjà, concurrence l’ATM ou le Frame Relay et s’avère très utilisée pour relier les différents relais de réseaux mobiles. De son côté, Nan Chen, président du Metro Ethernet Forum, parie sur la 4G pour relancer un marché assez attentiste, les opérateurs cherchant déjà à rentabiliser leurs anciennes installa- tions pour la 3G. La dernière version pro- pose la gestion de différentes classes de ser- vices (les multi-COS - Class of Service) et une palette de fonctions d’administration et d’outils d’interconnexion. Ces dernières évo- lutions facilitent la création de contrats de niveau de service (SLA - Service Level Agree- ment) qui permettent aux opérateurs et à leurs clients de mieux surveiller et d’établir différents tarifs en fonctions des SLA et de débits. Dans l’optique de la 4G, le trafic de liaisons des antennes, dit backhaul, devrait être multiplié par dix. Pour atteindre les dé- bits annoncés de 20 Mbits de la 4G, l’en- semble des différents commutateurs Ether- net devrait être synchronisé au millionième de seconde.
