Globe Business
has established yet another industry milestone as it becomes the first in Asia
to earn the significant Metro Ethernet Forum – Carrier Ethernet (MEF CE) 2.0
certification on March 20, 2013, elevating its status as among top service
providers worldwide which can now deliver added benefits to its customers by
matching enterprise users’ application performance needs to MEF services with
specific service-level agreements (SLAs).
Head of
Globe Business Jesus Romero lauded the company’s latest accolade, noting that
"being the first not only in the Philippines but in Asia to receive
certification for Carrier Ethernet 2.0 is not only an important achievement for
us but it also augurs well for the local ICT industry. It reflects our
company’s genuine commitment to deliver world-class and best-in-class services
to our customers."
As the
pioneer of premium-grade corporate solutions in the country, Globe Business is
presently the only Philippine and Asian service provider, and fourth in the
world, to achieve MEF CE 2.0 certification with its point-to-point E-Line (EPL
and EVPL) and multipoint-to-multipoint E-LAN services, strengthening its
Ethernet services’ MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications or MEF CE 1.0 which define
Ethernet service functionality and service performance, respectively. These
accreditations enhance the company’s end-to-end service Operation,
Administration and Maintenance (or OAM) capabilities for the three-level Class
of Service and Tier 1 service performance as they make Globe Business Ethernet
services the best choice at world-class standards.
Its next
generation MEF CE 2.0 also extends the original purpose of Carrier Ethernet
with added vital features, including easier interconnection with global
Ethernet providers and partners for multiple standard service types as well as
enabling new levels of efficiency for mobile backhaul.
Globe
Business Head of Enterprise Segments Grace Castillo assured that “with our MEF
CE2.0 certified services, we can deploy our products and solutions much faster,
provide guarantee to customers of globally-compliant services which will work
seamlessly with their network and allow end-to-end visibility to perform faster
issue identification and resolution as well as ensure SLA delivery.”
“What this
means in terms of Classes of Service is that our customers can run multiple and
critical applications while we assist and support them in prioritizing which
ones can pass through Ethernet traffic. Likewise, we can conduct non-intrusive
tests with added testing parameters leading to quicker turn-around time in
pinpointing issues and resolutions, less service downtime, ensure SLAs and
improve after-sales support. This gives them a definite advantage when
subscribing to our MEF CE 2.0-certified Ethernet services,” she added.
Meanwhile,
Globe Business Head of Business Products and Services Francisco Claravall
confirmed that “this accreditation from a global-certifying IT body is actually
the result of the hard work and commitment put in by our Data Network Planning
and Engineering, our Product Management team, as well as our colleagues from
Tellabs and Iometrix through extended days and nights of continuous,
round-the-clock assessing and resolving issues during the course of the
certification tests. Our synergies were focused toward the collective goal of
giving the country its first MEF CE 2.0 certified-service through Globe
Business.”
Already,
Globe Business customers have commended its move to take its Ethernet services
several notches higher, as attested by a long-time client and local insurance
giant Philamlife: “We’ve known Globe Business to be at the forefront of
innovation in the Philippines. Being the first locally to be MEF CE 2.0
certified and, better yet, in Asia, is a breakthrough not only for the company
but for the country as well. This demonstrates that the Philippine
telecommunications and ICT industry are moving ahead, with Globe Business
leading the way,” said Nilo Zantua, Vice President and Head of IT
Infrastructure of PhilamLife.
Romero
commented: “We believe that more than just an accreditation document, this
acknowledgment from a global certifying body will translate into tangible
benefits that our customers will feel and will be delighted about:
simpler and faster deployment as well as standardized services that offer them
more choices, giving them more reasons to be with Globe Business over and above
any other provider.”
Being a
non-profit organization, MEF sets global standards on Ethernet services in
terms of reliability, speed and SLAs and promotes worldwide adoption of
Carrier-class Ethernet networks and services.
With the recent conferment of the MEF CE 2.0 certification, Globe Business revalidates its MEF 9 and 14 compliances as it tests its network’s capabilities for Service OAM for end-to-end management outlining three levels of Class of Service: low, medium and high, and conducts a more rigid performance analysis based on MEF-defined performance objectives and performance tiers which the company convincingly excelled-in for all of its Ethernet services.
