SUNNYVALE, CA today announced that it has completed a high
bandwidth, regional optical network in California for SAVVIS, Inc.,
a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business
applications, which will augment its Application Transport Network
(ATN) (announced separately on December 6, 2007) in California.
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, SAVVIS Communications Corporation
(NASDAQ: SVVS) operates a global IT services platform and 29 data
centers spanning North America, Europe and Asia. SAVVIS uses this
infrastructure to deliver a wide variety of dedicated, managed and
virtualized hosting, network and security services to its
customers. SAVVIS' ATN, a Tier 1 Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) network, enables SAVVIS to further virtualize and optimize
the delivery of customer applications.
Driven by the performance requirements of customer applications
hosted in its data centers, SAVVIS turned to Infinera to expand and
enhance the flexibility of its California network capacity to meet
customer expectations for reduced latency and increased bandwidth.
SAVVIS will upgrade its California network to Infinera's new ILS2
line system, which becomes available this summer, to take advantage
of the scalability, extended optical reach, and other advanced
features in ILS2.
"In order to meet the demands of the market and our customers,
we needed to enhance our network services in California with a
highly scalable, technologically advanced optical transport
network. Infinera has enabled SAVVIS to quickly install new network
capacity, and with Infinera's world class capabilities we are able
to grow our data centers and our business in an environmentally
responsible manner," said Dennis Brouwer, Vice President of Network
Business Line Management for SAVVIS.
Infinera's Digital Optical Networking system provides the
flexibility and scalability that SAVVIS needs in California to
accommodate the high-volume demand for bandwidth from its
customers. With its digital architecture based on large-scale
photonic integrated circuits, Infinera networks are very quick to
install, turn up and configure. The Infinera deployment in
California was installed and carrying traffic in just a few weeks.
The flexibility of the Infinera system, with client-side modules
that can be swapped in and out in a matter of minutes, enables
SAVVIS to reconfigure the network very quickly. The Infinera DTN
system offers integrated bandwidth management providing SAVVIS with
enhanced flexibility and cost savings as compared to traditional
DWDM systems. Infinera's photonic integrated circuits deliver space
and power-saving efficiencies as compared to traditional systems
which are based on discrete optical components.
"SAVVIS' advanced data centers play a key role in critical
sectors of the economy such as the financial and
Software-as-a-Service worlds, which require very large and flexible
network resources, often with extremely tight tolerances on latency
and performance. An Infinera Digital Optical Network is the ideal
solution to support the SAVVIS network," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep
Singh.
The Infinera DTN is a Digital ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical
Add-Drop Multiplexer) for long-haul and metro core networks based
on large-scale photonic integrated circuits, combining
high-capacity DWDM transport, integrated digital bandwidth
management, and GMPLS-powered service intelligence in a single
platform.
