Using Dense Wave Division Multiplexing - which enables at least
32 individual 10Gbps channels to travel down the same fibre-optic line
at the same time - the Level 3 network can transfer vast quantities
of data without congestion or buffering problems. Ideal for LIVE webcasting
events to a large number of users.
We offer Bandwidth On Demand (burstable to 1000MB per port) and now
Storage On Demand (Fibre Channel Storage Area Network).
Ben Young - Production Manager at Astream explains "We examined
all other ISPs operating in Europe, after considering quality of service,
redundancy and price - Level 3 was the clear market leader. Their central,
city based data centre is the largest in Europe with over 200,000sq
ft of digital real estate, accompanied by state of the art facilities.
Level 3 digs the roads laying fibre-optic cables and own their Pure
IP network end to end. They are a true Tier 1 Internet Service Provider".
To support the network demands of the next generation of applications
requires both a technological infrastructure that is able to cope with
the explosive growth and a range of streaming products based on an understanding
of the new economy.
With the Level 3 global IP network in place already, the infrastructure
is there not only to deliver major benefits, quickly and efficiently,
but also in readiness for the next generation of broadband applications
- which will be even more demanding on bandwidth than those currently
in use.
