New Veroxity Whitepaper: VPLS for Any-to-Any Ethernet Connectivity
Here is an excerpt from Veroxity’s new whitepaper entitled, “VPLS for Any-to-Any Ethernet Connectivity: When Simplicity & Control Matter.”
The Holy Grail: Achieving Simplicity and Control in the IT Infrastructure
Today’s Information Technology decision-makers face a major challenge in striking the right balance between managing the complex exchange of data and the operational efficiencies required to support their IT resources. At first glance, this appears to be an almost insurmountable task – two concepts that are completely at odds with each other. Consider an organization with multiple locations, needing to an abundance of data securely and in compliance with various regulations from and between local offices that have potentially varying levels of bandwidth requirements. How can such an organization achieve simplicity and control over its data networks?
Unfortunately, efforts to attain this level of simplicity and control have been hindered by the explosion of bandwidth requirements. To address this issue and enable quick, secure data transfer, various solutions have been brought forth over the years. But early technologies like Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) that were once useful have shown their limitations. As an initial stopgap, telecom providers developed Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) for multipoint, Ethernet-centric connectivity.
Many organizations use MPLS today to enable connectivity between a large number of sites. But tradeoffs in implementing MPLS translate to a high level of complexity for the enterprise. While MPLS might be the right choice for organizations that need low-bandwidth solutions between a large number of sites, it can be overkill for many companies.
There is an alternative: a Layer 2 virtual private LAN service (VPLS), also called an Any-to-Any Ethernet solution.

Veroxity’s CEO Featured in Investor.com Article
Last month, Eric Sandman was interviewed for an article that is now live on Investor.com, the online publication of Investor’s Business Daily. In the article, Eric is quoted regarding how business leaders can strengthen their organizations by analyzing financial trends as they relate to strategic investments. He points to seeking out greater efficiencies, as well as raising the bar for employees.
These statements are very applicable, especially as Veroxity has recently been named a Boston Business Journal Pacesetter, a Fastest Growing Private Company, for the sixth consecutive year.
Read the full article entitled, “Muscle Up With Numbers.”

Google’s Plan for Fiber-Optic Networks
A couple of years ago when Google was reaching out to a number of different sources looking for dark fiber, the general public knew that something was coming out of it, we just didn’t know what. The recent news about Google’s plan to build a number of experimental, fiber-optic networks has created quite a buzz in the world of telecommunications and the questions are now beginning to resurface. It seems that Google is willing, ready, and able to try their hand at anything technology related. We have established that. I am sitting at my desk ‘Googling’ information about Google while talking on my Google Android cell phone. When these networks are complete will we be ‘Googling’ on an internet provided by Google-owned fiber? I am curious as to what their main intentions and goals are with the building of this network. At first glance it looked like they were simply trying to reduce network costs by in-sourcing it completely but now I am not so sure. Is this endeavor really meant to be geared toward the ‘500,000 people’ they mention or is this more of an enterprise business plan? To me, it seems as though it could end up being a cannibalistic product offering. They would have to be competing with the Verizon’s and AT&T’s of the world if they built this network. Regardless of their intentions, Google has proven itself time and again at being incredibly successful at everything they get their hands in and I have no doubt that they will accomplish whatever it is they are setting out to do. I look forward to seeing their influence reflected in the telecommunications space.
