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

DNS Made Easy Selects Arbinet for IP Transit Multi-homing

Subsidiary Firm of Tiggee LLC Opts for Arbinet’s Layer 2 IP Exchange for Flexibility, Reliability, and Single Connection to Multiple ISPs

New York, NY – July 14, 2010– Arbinet Corporation [NASDAQ:  ARBX], a leading wholesale voice and data telecommunications service provider, announces today that DNS Made Easy, a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, an Internet service system provider, has connected to Arbinet’s Layer 2 IP Exchange for its  Internet transit multi-homing solution.  Arbinet provides DNS Made Easy the ability to easily connect to multiple Tier 1 ISPs in different locations enabling the company to run a more cost-effective and high performance IP ‘any-cast’ network.

Through a single connection to Arbinet’s Layer 2 IP Exchange, DNS Made Easy gains direct access to multiple Tier 1 ISPs without any additional ASN hops and is able to purchase high quality IP Transit at wholesale rates with the flexibility of a short contract term and no minimum commitment.  This connection also enables DNS Made Easy to choose meshed or separate BGP sessions per ISP supplier for redundancy and optimal traffic management and to utilize Arbinet’s online portal, which allows it to add or change suppliers within minutes, eliminating traditionally long ISP provisioning cycles.  DNS Made Easy’s solutions are currently available in Los Angeles, New York and London, with expansion plans to Hong Kong underway.

“After deploying an evaluation connection with Arbinet, we committed to one contract, one cross-connect to gain access to multiple Tier 1 IP backbone providers,” explains Steven Job, President of Tiggee LLC and DNS Made Easy.  “We connected to Arbinet in three locations and plan to expand our connectivity across three continents.   By connecting to Arbinet we have decreased our look-up response time by 22ms and our services were up and running in record time and under budget while gaining access to top quality IP backbone providers at highly competitive rates.  Today we are serving more than one billion queries a day.” 

“DNS Made Easy’s network required multiple connections to providers across a variety of markets,” states Sue Su, Vice President of Data Services at Arbinet. “Our IP Exchange allows DNS Made Easy to start with no bandwidth commitment and saves the cost of connecting to and managing multiple ISP suppliers with a single contract, invoice and network support interface.

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:
