Here's an analogy that illustrates how Metronet works.
If Metronet were Germany's Autobahn, then Metronet's service providers would be like tour buses on the Autobahn, zooming along at ultrafast speeds. And to take the Autobahn analogy a step further, the numerous passengers are like Metronet's data, reaching destinations in record time. By comparison, typical data networks are like small passenger cars on two-lane roads with 50 mile-per-hour speed limits, carrying fewer people (or data) at much slower speeds.
If you have Metronet's capacity, then you can access:
- Hosted Applications / Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
- Business software such as MS Office & MS Exchange
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- Industry specific applications
- Colocation
- Network Virtualization
- Disaster Recovery
- Server Management
- Internet Service
- Data Transport
- Cloud Computing
- Off-site Data Backup
