MELBOURNE, Australia and
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks,
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXTR) today announced that Metro Trains, Melbourne's Metropolitan Rail Service, has
selected ExtremeSwitching™ 10G Ethernet core and edge switching
solutions to deliver an agile, adaptive, and secure network
supporting its system-wide, real-time CCTV and video system.
Metro Trains is one of Australia's largest metropolitan rail
services, with 16 lines, 219 stations, and 221 six-carriage trains.
The rail network is in a constant state of expansion as
Melbourne continues to lead
population growth among the country's largest capital cities and as
the Victorian government rebuilds rail and station infrastructure
as a part of its ambitious level crossing removal program. Metro
Trains transports nearly half a million passengers a day, and
required a technology partner that could scale to aid its network
growth.
A core component of the Metro Trains technology platform is its
CCTV network. It is one of the state's largest CCTV networks, with
one camera on every station platform and in every train carriage,
resulting in more than 9,000 cameras total. Utilizing
ExtremeSwitching aggregation, edge and ISW Industrial Ethernet
Switches ideal for "in-tunnel" CCTV, the robust network provides
round-the-clock aggregation and seamless hand-off for all CCTV
traffic as well as additional in-station services. The network
transmits over 100 terabytes of video traffic on a typical business
day, equivalent to 20,000 high definition films streaming
simultaneously.
"Extreme Networks is committed to helping Metro Trains build a
reliable, secure network to underpin its CCTV infrastructure," said
Chris Georgellis, Managing Director, Extreme Networks, Australia and New
Zealand (ANZ). "Metro Trains operates one of the most
sophisticated and geographically-dispersed networks in the country
and this a real showcase of Extreme's capabilities."
"Having real-time access to network-wide CCTV footage is
essential to the operations of Metro Trains and critical to
enabling the security and safety of passengers," continued
Georgellis. "The ExtremeSwitching platform provides the
multicast performance required to support the huge volumes of video
captured and managed on the Metro system, and the scalability to
meet its demanding requirements as the network environment
expands."
