Whether it’s cloud computing, the centralization of ICT services,
data-center consolidation or unified communications and
colla-boration – today’s IT trends present new security and bandwidth
challenges when it comes to site-to-site connections. Until now,
reliable network connections were the key focus. But now,
busi-nesses increasingly also require access to cloud services.
In addition to managed VPN services, which include a range of
access technologies, T-Systems delivers Direct Network Links to
meet these challenges. This portfolio includes synchronous digital
hierarchy (SDH)- and Etherbased leased lines for customer
net-works in Germany and beyond. We offer a host of possibilities to
address your needs including fixed-link point-to-point and point-
to-multipoint connections ranging from 2 Mbits / s to several
giga-bytes. What’s more, we can support customer-specific
require-ments, from data-center connections to connectivity based on
microwave radio technology.

Implementation logic
MEF – Metro Ethernet Forum.
Founded in 2001, the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) aims to accelerate the worldwide implementation of carrier-class Ethernet networks and services. MEF defines specifications for WAN services that already exist in the LAN space. These Ethernet services include point-to-point and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations, LAN services over VLANs, local networks over MPLS and LAN over IP. MEF has defined Layer 2 services for VPNs: E-Line to support point-to-point VPNs, E-Tree for point-to-multipoint connections and E-LAN for multipoint-to-multipoint VPNs. T-Systems Ethernet VPN solution portfolio complies with MEF standards.

Ethernet VPN.
Ethernet VPN provides high-performance, secure connections for LAN-to-LAN links, for example between company divisions, data centers or tele-communications systems and of IT systems to SANs (storage area networks). This technology can also be used for international site-to-site connections. Companies can operate their Ethernet VPNs themselves and keep control over IP routers and IP addresses. Ethernet VPN offers the flexibility of high bandwidths up to several gigabytes per second, supports the prioritization of data traffic and can be implemented for diverse network topologies.
