Feb, 2002 : Yipes Extends Services to Europe via Partnerships
📅 - Yipes Communications, Inc. (yipes.com), a provider of scalable Ethernet services, announced yesterday that it is extending itsservices across Europe and the United Kingdom in partnership with StormTelecommunications (stormtel.com), a European provider of international network services, and Neos (neosnetworks.net), a national provider of gigabit Ethernet services in the United Kingdom.
By combining network access, the partnership between Storm, Yipes and Neosoffers U.S., U.K. and European businesses flexible Ethernet connections from1 megabit per second to 1 gigabit per second to major commercial centers inthe United States and Europe. Storm's Ethernet On-Demand service currentlyoperates between London, New York, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam,increasing to eight European cities during 2002. The Neosnet nationalnetwork covers Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Reading, Cambridge, Leeds,Leicester, Southport and 30 metro POPs covering the City of London, MetroLondon and the Thames Valley. The Yipes national network covers 21 U.S.cities including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York, Philadelphia,San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
"On-demand" Ethernet services enable enterprises to easily extend their LANsbetween international offices and scale their bandwidth to cope withunpredictable demands, giving enterprise IT managers greater control overthe WAN.
"This is the first service of its kind with such international reach and is,I believe, the forerunner of how all wide area bandwidth will one day beprovisioned. It seems crazy that businesses have up until now had to pay forbandwidth that they simply haven't used," said Bruno d'Avanzo, CEO andchairman of Storm. "This new networking model allows businesses to deploybandwidth on a 'pay as you grow' basis, flexing and paying for bandwidth inthe wide area when required."
