Ethernet Connect
Site networking – simple, safe and efficient
You want your teams to be networked quickly, reliably and securely? Smooth communication for close and productive cooperation is important to you so that you can save time and money? Then use the powerful and reliable Ethernet Connect products from noris.
Ethernet Connect connects your locations quickly and easily at extremely high speeds and bandwidths of up to 10 Gbps. The connection of the local networks via Ethernet interface is simple and cost-saving. Your previously separate LANs can be combined into one large logical network. You can build enterprise-wide voice and data networks with distributed locations without having to change your LAN structure.
You can choose between the variants E-LAN, E-VLAN and E-Line:
- E-LAN and E-VLAN are multi-point services for dedicated, multi-site connections. Each User-Network-Interface (UNI) can communicate with any other UNI connected to the Ethernet service.
- Unlike E-LAN, E-VLAN allows multiple VLANs to be used via the same Ethernet Connect.
- E-Line is a point-to-point service for cross-location connections. This allows static point-to-point connections with fixed bandwidth between two customer interfaces to be set up.
Ethernet Connect is available throughout Germany and is managed via the noris backbone and permanently monitored by our Network Operation Center. No matter which Ethernet Connect variant or data transfer rate you choose, you always pay a fixed monthly price, regardless of how much data volume you transfer or how often you use your line. And should you require a higher transmission rate later, then simply contact us.
The advantages of Ethernet Connect at a glance:
- Dedicated bandwidth and high security – ideal for site coupling, VoIP and real-time applications
- Transparent layer 2 connections ensure particularly high performance
- Flexible adaptation of network services to changing requirements
- Highest transmission quality and low latency
- High availability due to a fast, automatic replacement circuit in the noris backbone
- Uncomplicated integration into existing networks
- Low operating costs and monthly fixed price
Layer 1 Line with dedicated bandwidth
With the Layer 1 line from noris network you receive a managed connection between two of our computer centres for point-to-point bit transmission. We provide you with a secure bandwidth and guarantee you short loading times. We can offer you a Layer 1 connection within a city, but also between two cities.
Double Direct Interconnect between Nuremberg and Munich
Between our two data centers Nürnberg Süd and München Ost, we offer the Double Direct Interconnect, a Layer 1 encrypted ethernet connection with fiber protection. This means that if the primary fiber is damaged or destroyed, the system automatically switches to an alternative, node- and edge-disjoint fiber.
- Maintenance redundancy with optional redundant physical interface
- Very low latency:
- First path (“western path”): < 2.1 ms
- Second path (“eastern path”): < 3.2 ms
- Possibility of handover at the end devices in your rack
Your advantages with the Layer 1 connection at a glance:
- Highest security through a dedicated connection
- High availability due to the possibility of a redundant connection
- Dedicated bandwidths and low, assured latency times
- Flexible bandwidth options as requested

A worldwide Content Delivery Network brings you closer to your customer
A CDN is a global network of edge locations, each of which containing a multitude of edge nodes bundled in server farms. The edge locations are geographically distributed in the USA, Asia, South America and Australia and therefore nearby your potential online customers.
Static content such as HTML, image- and video-media, CSS and JavaScript files is stored on every edge location in so-called caches and therefor can be loaded with low latency and optimal performance. By storing static data in a cache you reduce the load on the origin server because it will only have to serve data when there is no copy available at the edge location.
DNS and GeoIP databases are responsible for determination of the CDN edge location nearest to the user. If the requested website objects are cached here, they are instantly delivered to the user.
On-the-fly Site Transformation supports a faster rendering of websites on the end device. For example, image files are automatically compressed by about 60 to 80% without a visible decrease in quality.
Mobile Site Acceleration optimizes both static and dynamic web content for end devices and browsers. As a result you achieve faster visualization of content leading to a considerably better user experience.
CDN Origin Pull
Selection of the geographically nearest edge location is realized through DNS by pointing your domain to a CNAME of the CDN. During the CNAME domain name resolution the end-user’s IP address is taken into account and the IP of the optimal edge location is determined. If a web file is not cached on an edge location it will be requested from the origin server via HTTP(S), cached and then delivered to the end-user’s browser. This automated process is also called CDN Origin Pull.
Dynamic Caching
The duration files remain in cache can be managed by so-called Cache Controls within the header of the webpage. A web-based easy-to-use interface allows for a selective invalidation of cache content in order to force new file requests from the origin server. Using this method you can publish new content instantly without waiting for the files to expire from the cache after the set duration.
Global distribution
Requests for dynamic or interactive content (web forms, login fields etc.) are forwarded by the edge server to the origin server. To optimize latencies between the edge location of one region and the origin you can distribute your origin servers to our colocations in Singapore, Shanghai and Moscow, more specifically replicate your data to the particular server locations.
Dynamic Site Acceleration
The goal of this technology is an improvement in user-experience by various optimizing methods. This is accomplished especially by a faster website rendering depending on the end device and browser. When a browser establishes a connection to a CDN node there are also optimizations applied on network level in order to improve the handling regarding packet loss and occurrence of congestion. Persistent connections and HTTP multiplexing are further methods to improve loading times.
These On-the-fly modules for device- and browser-specific optimization of web content operate in two phases. When initially requested the website is loaded from the origin server and transformed into a so-called Acceleration Template. This template is prepared in real-time for the particular browsers and end devices. Image objects are scaled according to the necessary resolution, formatted and specifically compressed by optimized algorithms (JPG for IE, WebP for Chrome).
User-defined SSL certificates
Content can be transmitted via HTTPS with the use of your own domain name and SSL certificate. All common types of certificates such as Single Domain, Wildcard, SAN or Extended Validation are supported.
Video-on-Demand and Media-Streaming
The On-Demand Streaming Platform supports Progressive Download as well as the Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). In contrast to Progressive Download, for streaming via RTMP, the video file has to be uploaded manually to an FTP staging server in the CDN. It will then be automatically distributed to various edge locations.
An Overview of the benefits of a CDN
- Faster loading times with lower latencies and higher data transfer rates accomplished by 50 world-wide distributed edge locations
- Cost reduction, as capacities of the origin servers do not have to be reserved for data traffic peaks
- Improved user-experience because of various optimization methods of dynamic site acceleration
- Protection from DDoS attacks accomplished by control mechanisms at the edge locations on network- and application-level
