On July 21, 2010 at 2pm ET, Fierce Telecom is hosting a webinar on Packet Optical Network Platforms, a carrier round table discussion. Grant Kirkwood, CTO of PacketExchange will be participating in the discussion. He will present on the fact that today, services are fast becoming packet-based.

There are number of factors driving this transition. One certainly is cost. As traffic grows, revenue growth is slowing – which means that operators must find a more cost-effective way to transport more traffic over its network.

With solutions such as Global Community of Internet Networks (CoINs) and Global Enterprise Private networking, PacketExchange has been able to combine MPLS and metro packet otpimizied platforms to provide an advanced long-haul backbone management. It is this packet-based architecture that will be revealed during the webinar on July 21 at 2pm ET. To tune in, go to: http://www.fiercetelecom.com/offer/packet-optical-webinar-series?source=web

The Internet was started as a research networking tool to assist researchers and educators to get access to current data and collaborate on programs to collect data from disparate locations and still have the ability to share the information in near real-time.  As such, the Internet continues to be a highly valuable tool for a wide-variety of research firms and educational instituations.   One of today’s greatest examples of how research networks use the Internet is through the Internet2 initiative.  Internet2 is a not-for-profit advanced networking consortium comprising more than 200 U.S. universities in cooperation with 70 leading corporations, 45 government agencies, laboratories and other institutions of higher learning as well as over 50 international partner organizations. Our organization is governed by an executive Board of Trustees and strategic councils consisting of leaders who represent our broad membership.

With Tinet’s announcement that it has been selected by NORDUnet, a joint collaboration by the five Nordic National Research and Educational Networks, the significance of this announcement is put into perspective.  Tinet’s network will be used to interconnect Nordic and Global Research and Educational Networks – providing an important link for research and education within the Nordic region.  

What makes Tinet an idea partner for Nordic is their ability to deliver both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity.  Tinet is one of the leading global IPv6 backbone providers, consistently ranked among the top 10 most well-connected global carriers by third party research institutions such as Fixed Orbit and Renesys. 

The announcement, in its entirety is below for further review.  It provides more detail on the Nordic research and education groups that rely on this new connection:

“This launch is an important milestone for Equinix and for the Ethernet services industry in general,” said Jarrett Appleby, CMO, Equinix. “While the Ethernet market has been growing at a breakneck pace, the full potential has yet to be realized because carriers have been limited to the geographic areas where their networks are deployed. Our offering immediately removes that fundamental barrier, enabling carriers to deliver consistent, scalable Ethernet services across multiple borders around the world simultaneously.

In addition to the official launch of the service, this announcement marks the closing of Equinix’s comprehensive and successful development program. In total, Equinix conducted more than 200 unique tests across seven different regions with 24 program participants, demonstrating the efficacy of the testing program and the long-term commercial viability of the service.

Appleby continues, “The development program for the Equinix Ethernet Exchange was comprehensive, meticulous and highly successful. It speaks volumes that our collaborative development approach netted as many world-class participants prior to launch, underscoring the demand for this service and the tremendous value it will deliver to the global Ethernet community.”

“As well as having the potential to simplify the technical complexities in delivering Ethernet services, the Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange also creates a massive marketplace of potential partners,” said Mark Heraghty, managing director, Virgin Media Business. “Not only will that enable us to better support our customers’ needs, but it also means that we have the flexibility and scalability needed to add or expand our overall service offerings.”

Fully compliant with Metro Ethernet Forum standards, The Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange removes the technical boundaries associated with offering Ethernet services by providing a platform for multi-provider carrier Ethernet interconnection. In addition to the technical platform, the offering also includes access to a rich ecosystem of potential content and technical partners, creating an online marketplace that enables carriers to seamlessly extend their global reach and depth. The service enables carriers to translate between different carrier Ethernet offerings to ensure transparent service by providing an interconnection technical specification.

CoreSite, a Carlyle Company that offers wholesale data centers, colocation and peering solutions to the global marketplace, has recently published its first quarter of 2010 customer and prospect newsletter.   The newsletter featured some interesting industry perspectives from such notable industry folks as Rich Miller, the Editor of Data Center Knowledge, Barry X Lynn, the Chairman and CEO of 3Tera who wrote about the differences between virtualization and cloud computing, Mark Fishburn of CENX and Hunter Newby, the CEO of Allied Fiber.

Hunter Newby, whose team ‘invented’ the carrier interconnection model in the late ’90s and early 2000, shared his insite on the Broadband Stimulus asking ‘Can It Really Be Done for $7.2 Billion?’  Since the first round of funding was awarded around February 16^th, the majority of the 1,400 applicants were not awarded grants or loans totaling $4.2 billion.  With the first round of funding completed, Mr. Newby observed that there is no clear plan as to how the Nation will address the issue of high-speed broadband access for all.  

Newby goes on to explain the major issues associated with the Broadband Stimulus package and how the federal government is attacking the problem.  It’s an interesting read – with more to come from Newby on the topic for sure. 

As the CEO of Allied Fiber, he has set out to build the nation’s first and only carrier neutral dark fiber network to provide interconnectivity solutions between wireline and wireless providers.  It is with the careful planning of Allied Fiber’s network and business that provides Newby with his keen observations of the nation’s broadband stimulus initiatives. 

Time will certainly tell how the Government awards its funds as we all watch on – trying to solve the enigmatic  approach to the process.
