Hitachi Cable has been a leading company in the Carrier Ethernet Switch market over the years, and enables service providers to expand their service field into global markets. Since Carrier Ethernet Services (Pure Layer2 vPN) launched in 1999 in Japan, it has grown to become the most popular network service for enterprises in Japan. In recent years, as the background of the demand for the high-speed communication increases (in cases of utilizing web-based applications, transferring 3-D CAD data, or file transferring between Data Centers for a disaster recovery) Carrier Ethernet Services have been rapidly replacing high-priced Leased Line Services and MPLS IP-vPN. The demand for Carrier Ethernet Services has been currently accelerated even in world-wide scale, taking advantage of proven Ethernet Technologies in Japan market. Hitachi Cable provides many unique and field-proven Layer2 technologies which enables service operators to operate Carrier Ethernet Service with robustness, scalability and to reduce CAPEX and OPEX.www.hitachi-cable.co.jp/en/
