Frequently asked questions

What is Switched Ethernet?

Switched Ethernet is a virtual private Ethernet service that delivers secure, scalable and high-performance Layer 2 connectivity across multiple locations, whether that’s to data centres, cloud environments or applications.

How does Switched Ethernet work?

Switched Ethernet uses a carrier-grade network to create secure Ethernet connections between locations. It delivers on-demand Layer 2 connectivity with options for point-to-point and multi-point topologies such as E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree.

What are the main benefits of using Switched Ethernet?

    • Secure and reliable connectivity – Delivered via a private, fully redundant global infrastructure for enhanced security and stability.
    • Scalability – Adjust bandwidth as needed with support for point-to-point and multi-point configurations.
    • Predictable performance – Clearly defined SLAs provide assured availability and resiliency.
    • Direct connectivity – Seamlessly connect enterprise sites, data centres, cloud platforms, applications and customers.

Who benefits from Switched Ethernet?

Enterprises with geographically dispersed sites that require secure, low-latency connectivity and prioritisation of business-critical traffic. It is also well suited to organisations needing flexible multi-site networking, direct cloud access and scalable Ethernet connectivity across regional or global locations.

Is Switched Ethernet a replacement for Dedicated Ethernet?

While SD-WAN simplifies networking, managing it well requires expertise. A managed service provider handles setup, security, monitoring, and ongoing optimisation. This ensures peak performance, lets businesses scale quickly, and reduces the burden on internal IT teams.

Why choose a managed Switched Ethernet service?

Managing a distributed, high-capacity Ethernet network can be complex. A managed service simplifies deployment and ongoing operations, including provisioning, monitoring, fault management and SLA reporting.
