Products Overview

Make your business more productive. Taking less time to do work saves money. It also leaves more time for generating new revenue.

AboveNet can help.

Optimizing productivity depends on minimizing the economic and performance barriers that constrain information exchange at the server-to-server level, the gateway-to-network level, and across the network.

AboveNet offers a full-portfolio of optical networking services and solutions that address each potential bottleneck from the individual server level all the way across the network. And unlike other service providers, AboveNet solutions operate on an affordable and integrated all-optical infrastructure so you can truly eliminate constraints on information exchange instead of just moving bottlenecks to other downstream or upstream exchange points.

Service	Applications/Benefits	Descriptions
WDM Custom Wave	Applications: e-commerce transactions the server-less office real-time transactions backup high-speed business continuity trending towards SAN architecture supports streaming multimedia Benefits: interconnecting and consolidating data centers transparent extension of LAN across MAN supports packetized voice dedicates 100% of current & future circuit growth to the customer customer has exclusive equipment use	With WDM Custom Wave, an interactive design approach allows AboveNet to incorporate complex customer requirements, next generation Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) technologies, and best of breed equipment platforms to deliver unique private network solutions to AboveNet’s most demanding customers.
WDM Enhanced Wave		WDM Enhanced Wave offers dedicated, point to point transport service that connects customer locations with a starter package system that includes an initial circuit and supports either WDM- based or port based growth options. Service is available as unprotected, protected or path protected with various circuit interfaces.
WDM Basic Wave		WDM Basic Wave is a dedicated, point to point transport service that connects customer locations with a single circuit. Service is available as unprotected, protected or path protected with various circuit interfaces but no ability for WDM- based service growth. With Multiport circuit options, port based growth is possible.

dcXchange	Provides economical, high-bandwidth connection for almost any customer locations within reach of AboveNet Fiber backbone	dcXchange provides high capacity circuits (10G, 2.5G, 1G, OC-12) between key carrier hotels and data centers in strategic markets in NA. Available as unprotected, protected or path protected and service over shared network infrastructure.

Metro Ethernet Private	Applications: Supports virtualization need for larger transport links Support high-bandwidth video and media transfers Storage area networking and Disaster Recovery Data center consolidation, reduced server requirements Benefits: Cost-savings by adding IP access on same pipe Metro Ethernet Private: Dedicated bandwidth with guaranteed availability Security: no one else is on customer’s network Operational: not impacted by shared ring activities Control: all equipment service is at customer premises Performance: minimum equipment interfaces & components Metro Ethernet Dedicated: Bridged or tunneled across core, no link oversubscription Guaranteed bandwidth availability No managed equipment at customer’s premise = significant rack space & power cost savings at datacenters Metro Ethernet Standard: Scalability: infrastructure can grow to meet needs No managed equipment at customer’s premise = significant rack space & power cost savings at datacenters	Speeds: 100mbs, 1GbE & 10GbE (coming soon) Completely private fiber & managed equipment Customer supplies space & power for managed equipment No shared components = more customer control
Metro Ethernet Dedicated		Speeds: 1GbE & 10GbE Dedicated metro fibers with connectivity into optimized network infrastructure Virtual Circuit with Guaranteed Bandwidth For incremental charge, customer can add IP Transit over same dedicated fiber for cost savings on separate metro tail
Metro Ethernet Standard		Speeds: 100mbps & 1GbE. Dedicated metro fibers with connectivity into optimized network infrastructure Virtual Circuit with Best Effort Bandwidth. Ethernet tunnel across an uncongested metro core network IP add-on for incremental charge High-bandwidth delivered via dedicated fiber tails from core network to customer premise

VPN IPMesh	Applications: Supports today’s high-bandwidth, real-time or near real-time applications with multiple class of service offerings Create prioritization scheme to handle some or all of customer traffic Benefits: IPMesh Any-to-any connectivity offers LAN-like flexibility for uncertain traffic patterns Ready when VPN locations need to be added Mature VPN type: better suited for troubleshooting Accommodates Type 2 access, e.g., ubiquitous DS3 without requiring a book-ended device eMesh Ideal for multiple locations 3+ locations Ethernet handoff viewed as secure: Service provider has no visibility to customer’s internal network eWAN QoS feature allows customer to prioritize some or all traffic IP transit add-on	IPMesh Layer 3 connectivity between three or more Customer Locations using private IP routing (RFC 2547) based on customer IP addresses Leverages the QOS enabled Tier 1 IP/MPLS Network to transport data between multiple customer locations in multiple cities
VPN eMesh		eMesh Layer 2 multipoint connectivity between three or more Customer Locations using Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) for traffic forwarding based on Customer MAC addresses Ethernet handoff viewed as secure Service provider has no visibility to customer’s internal network Can transport any Layer 3 protocol customer uses
VPN eWAN		eWAN Layer 2, point-to-point, circuit connectivity between two Customer Locations using MPLS encapsulation Bandwidth limitation increased to 1000mbps

IP Transit	High-bandwidth internet access	IP Transit is Internet Access service delivered to customers with a port connection on AboveNet’s Tier 1 IP network Service sold with a committed bandwidth, and the ability to burst to full port capacity

Metro IP	Supports high-bandwidth applications requiring internet access	Metro IP service bundles a dedicated fiber connection from the customer premise to an AboveNet IP POP to provide Internet Access Service is offered with committed bandwidth of 20, 50, 100 Mbps or higher, and the ability to burst to full port capacity

Metro Fiber Optic Infrastructure	Allows customers with the expertise to manage their own networking equipment Supports high-bandwidth interconnection of customer corporate or partner sites	AboveNet offers low latency, Fiber Optic Infrastructure leases in point to point or ring configurations

eXpressWave^sm Long Haul Optical Transport	Point to Point inter-city connectivity for Enterprise customers to support : Voice, Data, Video, Mobility services Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery --Videoconferencing, TelePresence, eLearning	Long Haul point to point circuits provide transport between more than 78 city pair combinations across North America at 10G, 2.5G or 1G capacity going from POP to POP Add-ons to extend from AboveNet Long Haul POPs to customer premise are available Metro connectivity in 14 U.S. markets linking enterprise to enterprise and/or carrier to carrier Locations
