Cloud’s Best Friend:Ethernet Networking from Cablecos

Cloud adoption has rapidly accelerated from around 5 percent of businesses in 2010 to about 90 percent of businesses today. With wider adoption, enhanced security, and its diverse capabilities, the cloud has matured into a powerful, cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes and industries.

This evolution has shifted the cloud itself. Public Clouds have become moreaccessible than ever while Private Clouds and Hybrid Clouds have stepped to the forefront of numerous business fields.

Why Cloud Computing Requires EthernetConnections gain importance as a business does more of its computing over the Internet instead of using on-premise hardware. With everything from retail inventories to real-time financial transactions taking place in the cloud, businesses need fast and reliable connectivity to handle day-to-day operations and innovate within an industry.

Ethernet networks designed and configured for business organizations make the adoption of high-performance cloud computing possible. Business Ethernet services meet the needs of business users by providing reliable service, and customizable, scalable options. Features and benefits include:

• Traditional coax cable and high-speed fiber optics service available throughout the country. Ethernet networks have virtually zero entry barriers.

• Speeds ranging from up to 30 Mbps for coax and 10 Gbps for fiber. Speeds can be chosen based on computing needs.• Multi-location networks, seamlessly connected via Ethernet, make collaboration and company-wide computing using the

cloud simpler and easier.• Real-time computing with optical Ethernet, enabling a variety of cloud-based applications such as video conferencing and

instant financial transactions.• Cost control through consumption-based pricing models.• Business innovation due to scalable cloud storage and bandwidth.
