Global Interconnect Demo

Iometrix and Light Reading are staging the industry's first Global Interconnect Demonstration combining a Live Services Demo and a Vendor Showcase at the London Ethernet Expo in May 2009. This major industry event will be the first to offer service providers worldwide the chance to demonstrate interconnected Carrier Ethernet services to large enterprise customers.

Global Interconnect will for the first time draw on all three of the major industry players -- service providers, equipment vendors, and enterprise application developers -- to offer a complete picture of what anywhere-to-anywhere Ethernet services are, how they are delivered, and what enterprises can expect to get from them. To achieve this, Global Interconnect will integrate multiple demonstrations built around live, interconnected services delivered by the world's major service providers, working together to show that Carrier Ethernet services are spanning the globe to meet corporate customer expectations.

The demo will be designed and organized by Iometrix, which is the authorized test lab of the Metro Ethernet Forum, and will have several major components:
  • Live interconnected Carrier Ethernet services
    Major service providers from around the globe will demonstrate interconnected Carrier Ethernet services. At the heart of this demonstration, a giant screen will display and track interconnected circuits and services on a live Carrier Ethernet Global Interconnect Service Map posting key performance and management information.

  • Vendor showcase
    The Vendor Showcase, the engine room of Global Interconnect, will provide show delegates with a close-up view of the next-generation implementations of protocols and services from multiple core and access switch vendors working together to interoperate and create the foundations for a new, expanded, and global service landscape.

  • Live global videoconferences
    The latest, high-bandwidth applications, such as global interactive video services, will be run over circuits interconnecting the show floor to sites around the world, with service quality checks performed in real time.
Telecommunications carriers and equipment makers wishing to participate in the Global Interconnect demo should contact Iometrix at info@iometrix.com or phone +1 949-400-4444.
