ETHERNET seems like a no-brainer for displacing circuit based technology in mobile backhaul. It's almost half the price. It's also easier to find somebody with hands-on ETHERNET experience than hands-on circuit experience. So what's the catch? The catch is that the rival circuit based technology has many features that drive the cost out of owning it. Without these features, ETHERNET becomes much more expensive to own. With these enhancements, there are changes in how ETHERNET services are created, monitored for fault and performance,and how faults are uncovered and isolated. The way to make the planet smarter is to make it easier and cheaper for people to communicate. Join us at our Metro Ethernet service management jam as we cover how IBM Service Assurance helps manage Metro Ethernet, doing its part to make doing your part, creating a smarter planet, easier.
