Global Crossing has started its EtherExtend Flex service to provide its customers with cost-effective and flexible Ethernet access to IP-based services.
EtherExtend Flex lowers a user's cost of access and matches the access level of service to the application's needs, using local access vendors to provide the last-mile Ethernet connection to the end-user via a logical connection as a virtual LAN over a physical network-to-network interface.
EtherExtend Flex can be paired with Global Crossing IP VPN or Dedicated Internet Access/IP Transit services, whether managed or un-managed. The service also can support collaboration, VoIP and other applications that use these transport services.
