Orange Expands Its Open Transit Internet Network with Cisco Network Convergence System
April 24 2018 - 2:00AM
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Cisco announced that it is collaborating with Orange on the
modernization and expansion of Orange's Open Transit Internet (OTI)
service. This initiative offers Orange Group the chance to expand
its network in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, with reduced
operational complexity and increased capacity using the new
generation of routers on its OTI service. The resulting increase in
network efficiency will improve service for Orange customers and
manage the exponential increase in Internet traffic across the
network.
OTI is a Tier 1 international Internet
connectivity solution offering direct access to the Internet
networks in more than 100 countries through more than 50 points of
presence (POPs). This wholesale offer targets both Internet service
providers and content providers. These customers benefit from a
large range of interfaces and throughputs as well as from
guaranteed high-service availability.
The Cisco® NCS first-to-market advantage offered
Orange the means to execute its plans to prepare for 400G speeds.
Cisco NCS offers many other advantages including reduction in the
number of chassis to be managed, high port density, high
performance forwarding, low jitter and the lowest power consumption
in terms of Gigabits/sec.
Cisco NCS 5500 is powered by the Cisco IOS® XR
network operating system, offering market-leading software
capabilities including:
- Model-driven
telemetry: Provides deep insights into the real-time
operation of the network, enabling service providers to swiftly
remedy any customer-affecting network issues.
- Model-driven programmability and
enhanced automation: Offers extreme flexibility and speed
to adapt to any operational environment; one-touch integration into
Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) lowers the cost of
integrating and operating new devices and ultimately reduces time
to respond to new customer needs.
- Application
hosting: Turns networking devices into a platform on top
of which service providers can use their own tools and utilities;
offers additional flexibility and facilitates insertion into
existing toolchains.
"Our work with Cisco on OTI supports the further
evolution of our network, allowing us to cope with huge traffic
growth and improving the reach of our network," said Jean-Luc Vuillemin, senior vice president, Orange
International Networks Infrastructures and Services.
"With Cisco NCS, Orange can reap the business
benefits of a highly reliable and resilient platform to support its
networking goals," said Sumeet Arora, senior
vice president of Engineering, Service Provider Business,
Cisco. "Orange is now in a position to deliver higher bandwidth
and a range of new functions and services that will give it more
agility to innovate and compete."
Cisco is leading the disruption in the industry
with its technology innovations in systems; silicon; software and
security; and unrivalled expertise in mass-scale networking,
automation, optical, optics, cable access, video, and mobility.
Combining these capabilities with Cisco's portfolio of go-to-market
security, collaboration, IoT, and professional services, we enable
service providers and media and web companies to reduce cost and
complexity, help secure their networks, and grow revenue.
