To help enterprises achieve greater visibility and control over their networks, Level 3 Communications is expanding its Metro 2.0 global Ethernet platform and software-defined networking (SDN) solutions to the Asia-Pacific region.

Enterprises can now access Level 3's agile Ethernet platform from two access points each in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore, for a total of six access points in the region. Level 3's Ethernet platform provides full E-Line and E-Access product capabilities inclusive of Ethernet virtual private line (EVPL) and Ethernet private line (EPL) for global end-to-end connectivity to on- and off-net locations.

Level 3 Ethernet services reach more than 290 markets around the world with flexible bandwidth options ranging from 2 Mbps to 6 Gbps.

Anthony Christie, Chief Marketing Officer, Level 3 said, "Growth, efficiency and security are what global enterprises need to remain relevant and competitive in the new digital economy. Our expansion in the region puts real-time information and control into the hands of the business to support the seamless, trusted experience demanded by their employees, partners and customers."

In Asia Pacific Level 3 has 14 on-net markets throughout the region, with service reach to more than 50 markets in the region. Level 3 offers global cloud and data centre connectivity to businesses in the region, with on-ramps to AWS as well as to Microsoft Azure in Singapore. In addition to its agile Ethernet services, Level 3 offers virtual private networks (VPN), direct Internet access, managed services, unified communications, content delivery networks (CDN) and security solutions in the region.

Ricky Chau, Vice President of Sales for the Asia Pacific Region, Level 3 said, "As enterprises evolve, they rely on network solutions that can easily scale and adapt to the needs of the business. The expansion of Level 3's dynamic Ethernet services to strategic markets in Asia Pacific not only demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the region, it is the next step in delivering a customer-defined networking experience over a single, global Ethernet product suite."
