Global Ethernet: Connecting Indian Offices to the World

India is home to thousands of global capability centres, offshore development teams, BPOs and subsidiaries of international companies. These teams work every day with colleagues, systems and data centres abroad, and they need connectivity that is as dependable as an office LAN.

What Global Ethernet provides

Global Ethernet is a private Ethernet connection between your Indian office and international sites. From your network's point of view, the remote site appears as an extension of your local network, carrying traffic at Layer 2.

Benefits over internet VPNs

• Consistent latency: traffic follows engineered paths rather than variable internet routes.
• Predictable bandwidth: capacity is reserved for your organisation.
• Privacy: traffic does not cross the public internet.
• SLAs: availability and performance commitments cover the end-to-end service.

Service types

• EPL (Ethernet Private Line): dedicated point-to-point circuits.
• EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line): multiple virtual circuits on one port to different destinations.
• E-LAN: multipoint connectivity where several sites share one Layer 2 network.

Delivered with carrier partners

International segments are delivered with tier-1 carrier partners. UbiFi handles the Indian side and acts as your single point of contact for ordering, monitoring and support in India.

Common use cases

Data replication between data centres, access to centrally hosted applications, voice and video between teams, secure file transfers and connections to global cloud on-ramps.

Planning considerations

Confirm endpoint addresses early, understand that international lead times are longer than domestic, and plan redundancy for critical links.

The bottom line

Global Ethernet makes global teams feel like one office, with the reliability and privacy enterprise work demands.
