Globe Business powers largest Ethernet Forum

MANILA, Philippines - Recognizing the steadily increasing industry demand and momentum for Ethernet services as well as its positive impact in the local and international carrier data services market, Globe Business assembled top information and communications technology experts at the recently held Carrier Ethernet Forum, touted as the largest of its kind yet in the country. 

The forum was held to further bolster global awareness and adoption of Ethernet in the Philippines.

Globe Business head Jesus Romero formally opened the event, saying that enterprises “have entrusted their Carrier Ethernet requirements to Globe Business as we have been instrumental in providing secure, fast and scalable connectivity solution, while ensuring quality and value to what they pay for.”

“This in turn drives their productivity gains and operational velocity to their businesses. It sets up the future as they scale and can easily be deployed,” he said.

Romero also said that Globe Business invested heavily in infrastructure upgrade and expansion, which augured well for the company as it set an industry milestone in 2009 by being the first telco in the country to earn the MEF-certification 9 from the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), the defining body for Ethernet carriers.

Globe Business elevated its status to MEF 14 two years later, further validating its service performance and traffic management.

Carrier Ethernet services such as its Globe Ethernet private line or EPL, Ethernet virtual private line or EVPL and Ethernet LAN or ELAN successfully surpassed 160 stringent compliance tests by way of live end-to-end services provisioned among geographically distributed sites on its network.

“This recognition is a testament that Globe Business measures up to international specifications accepted globally,” Romero said.
