Virgin Media Business Launches High-capacity Backbone Network in Dublin Powered by Infinera’s XTM Series
March 24 2021 - 8:00AM
Virgin Media Business and Infinera today announced the deployment
of Infinera’s XTM Series on Virgin Media’s Virgin Infinity Ring, a
high-capacity optical network connecting major data centers
throughout Dublin, Ireland. The XTM Series provides Virgin Media
Business with faster deployment speeds and higher metro aggregation
capacity, delivering highly secure and extremely fast services to
Virgin Media Business’ customers in the financial, healthcare, and
government sectors.
By deploying Infinera’s XTM Series on Virgin Media Business’
Dublin metro network, data center operators are now able to connect
sites with 10 gigabits per second (10G) and 100G protected services
on a dedicated network ring, bolstering capacity for end users.
The XTM Series provides a high level of disaggregation enabling
a pay-as-you-grow architecture and high scalability without
stranded capacity or chassis slots.
Aidan D’Arcy, Director of Business, Virgin Media Ireland said:
“The Infinity Ring provides the most available and reliable network
service in Dublin, and is the backbone of its critical financial,
medical, and government services. With Infinera’s XTM Series on our
network, we benefit from a solution that provides highly resilient
capacity to enhance our product offerings while lowering our
network cost, a savings that we can pass on to our customers.”
“The XTM Series continues to gain momentum throughout Virgin
Media Business’ international networks for its ability to deliver
on scale, high capacity, and ease of installment and deployment of
services for their customers,” said Nick Walden, Senior Vice
President, Worldwide Sales at Infinera. “Virgin Media Business’
Infinity Ring network underscores the value the XTM Series can
deliver in demanding data center environments.”
