Ethernet Vertical Case Study – Retail
Today, almost every facet of retail demands high performance connectivity. From e-commerce to brick-and-mortar locations and distribution warehouses, reliable connectivity keeps retail running smoothly, including point-of-sale, inventory, shipping, and more. It can also help retail chains modernize their operations, enhance customer experience, and drive business growth.
Transforming retail with Frontier Private Ethernet
To support the need for fast, secure connectivity, retailers are implementing advanced networking solutions like Ethernet technology to help ensure performance and productivity.
Frontier Ethernet solutions deliver a private, secure network separate from the public internet. This eliminates performance problems associated with shared bandwidth, ensuring users have the connectivity they need to:
- Support retail business initiatives with flexible, on-demand network capabilities
- Ensure your business has the right amount of bandwidth without wasting money
- Minimize disruptions to network communications with guaranteed circuit availability
- Benefit from guaranteed SLAs to ensure essential retail applications (POS, inventory, distribution) perform optimally
- Keep data confidential with a private and secure network that never touches the Internet
Choose the right Ethernet solution for you
- EPL (Ethernet Private Line) provides point-to-point connection between two locations (such as corporate headquarters and a distribution center).
- EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line) uses a hub-and-spoke topology where a central site acts as a hub to other locations (such as multiple stores) that are spokes. This is a great solution for franchises that need to connect with centralized resources but not each other.
- E-LANis an any-to-any topology connecting sites to each other, ensuring widescale access to retail data while maintaining security and privacy and providing critical backup for more resiliency.
