Metro Ethernet / Private Network

Metro Ethernet / MPLS High-Speed WAN Connectivity

Today’s applications require higher bandwidth all the way to the office — the wide area network (WAN).

AIS provides a number of options to meet your performance and reliability requirements, from a traditional T1 to 10Gbps dark fiber.

Traditional carrier-based Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) services include T1, DS3, and OC3.

MPLS / Metro Ethernet services provide Layer 3 VPN connectivity locally and nationwide. These circuits are extremely flexible and can carry private, transit, and VoIP traffic on a single network connection.

Speeds range from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps and are provisioned on several carriers: AT&T, Cox, Level 3, and XO.

For clients in Southern California with high-bandwidth and redundancy requirements, AIS can provide redundant and non-redundant dark fiber connectivity.

Speeds are dependent on the terminating equipment (1 Gbps to 10 Gbps), which AIS can provide.

We Operate Our Own Private Optical Backbone

Every AIS data center is designed to be fully autonomous and able to operate independently, but in the event of an external failure the AIS network has built-in recovery mechanisms.

One of the primary redundancy tools is AIS’ private optical network: redundant OC-192 (10 Gbps) links that connect the primary data centers.

If an external services provider fails, traffic is immediately re-routed to another data center.

The private network is also used to provide our clients with their own dedicated Layer 3 VPN connectivity – between locations in our data centers – or for their own long-haul transport service.

Bandwidth speeds range from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps and are provisioned on protected network paths.

This type of connection is ideal for Disaster Recovery applications.

We had reached a critical point with our IT infrastructure where we had to make a decision on expanding our current facility or partnering with an enterprise-level data center. We were impressed with the Lightwave facility, the policies and procedures AIS has in place, like its ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) service architecture, and its knowledgeable staff. We feel AIS has mapped out a solid solution that can expand to meet our future business needs.Chris Rousseau, SVP global information technologyCallaway Golf

The bottom line is we are operating with the fault tolerance of a world class service provider, which is an important consideration for the Fortune 500 enterprises we are working with.Lance Fried, CEOHold-Free Networks

The company had grown to the point where we began to look for a new headquarters. At the same time, we were seriously considering whether to continue owning our own data center or to partner with a leading industry partner and further strengthen our already best-in-class hosting services. AIS proposed an ideal solution for us right here in our back yard with the connectivity, flexible power and security we needed, plus we’d be able to maintain the control of the data center as though it were i…Erez Nir, CTOMitchell International
