  • Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) October 29, 2014 - Global Capacity, the leading network connectivity company, announces that its Chief Revenue Officer, Ben Edmond, will be speaking at the Global Ethernet Networking 2014 (GEN14) conference, to be held November 17-20, 2014 at the Gaylord National in Washington, D.C. MEF GEN14 is the global gathering of the Carrier Ethernet (CE) community defining the future of network-enabled cloud, data and mobile services powered by the convergence of CE 2.0, Software-defined Networking (SDN) and virtualization technologies.

    Mr. Edmond will join moderator Stan Hubbard, Chair and GEN14 Program Director, on the panel entitled Executive Perspectives - The Ethernet-Enabled Cloud Ecosystem: Fueling Innovation & Productivity Gains in the Digital Enterprise, taking place Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Leading Ethernet, connectivity and cloud panel participants will examine Ethernet's mounting role in accelerating communications-related business transformation and the architectural evolution of the Ethernet-enabled cloud ecosystem.

    Carrier Ethernet has emerged as the technology of choice for enabling cloud connectivity, fueled by growing bandwidth demand, scalable, high-speed connectivity capability and lower costs per bit than legacy services. According to researchers at Ovum, the enterprise Ethernet services market will exceed $62 billion by 2018. That same year, Vertical Systems Group predicts U.S. customer installations of Carrier Ethernet services to top one million ports.

    "There is a fundamental shift in where business applications reside, moving outside the traditional four walls of the enterprise to third-party data centers, or the 'cloud'," remarks Ben Edmond, Chief Revenue Officer of Global Capacity. "With this shift, the network becomes an increasingly critical facet in the delivery of the user experience."

    As an active member of the MEF, Global Capacity's commitment to efficient and cost-effective Ethernet connectivity is tightly aligned with the MEF standards, created to define, streamline and standardize processes for buying, selling, delivering and operating Ethernet services. Global Capacity's One Marketplace eliminates the complexity and inefficiency found in the Ethernet access market by combining a physically interconnected and aggregated access network with a Cloud application that automates the procurement connectivity services. One Marketplace simplifies service delivery ensuring the best client experience by providing customers with a single interface through which to design, price and fulfill multi-network, multi-geography requirements, as well as a single contract SLA, bill and point of contact.
