Metro Ethernet

Lower operating costs, enhanced scalability, and flexible network solutions are only a few of the reasons Texas businesses are moving to metro Ethernet to meet their data communications needs. But the biggest reason may be the need for businesses to obtain affordable, reliable and efficient access to information. Alpheus Data Services’ metro Ethernet is tailored to support the needs of all business sectors due to its inherent speed and versatility.

Layer 2 Networks

Today’s IT managers are turning to metro Ethernet as a platform for the convergence of Internet, data, voice and video. Why? Because Ethernet addresses a wide range of Layer 2 networking needs, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and any-to-any WAN connectivity. That’s why dependable metro Ethernet service providers like Alpheus have begun to capture a growing share of the wide area network market. What’s more, metro Ethernet has the power to span long distances with highly scalable solutions, removing the longstanding bottleneck between the local area network and the wide area network.
