INX Selects AFORE As Part of Extend2Cloud Solution Architecture OTTAWA, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- INX, a leading provider of data center architecture and unified communications solutions, and AFORE Solutions, a provider of long distance virtualization and networking technology solutions, today announced a technology partnership utilizing AFORE's Advanced Service Edge 3300 (ASE3300) platform as a key component for the implementation of the INX Extend2Cloud strategy. Extend2Cloud (E2C) is a solution architecture that enables geographically dispersed data-center infrastructures to be joined as one logical infrastructure - creating a Unified Data Center (UDC). UDC distributes the data-center resources across diverse locations so that the resources can be shared between data centers increasing the level of support to mission critical applications and by default creating high-availability, scalability, performance and disaster recovery. AFORE's ASE3300 addresses a critical element of cloud computing solutions, namely overcoming limitations of existing wide area networks to support the demands of virtualization extension. ASE3300 is the first networking solution targeting data center virtualization extension over Ethernet and IP wide area networks. Long distance virtualization extension enables the seamless migration Virtual Machines (VMs) and storage migration for improved application performance, reduced costs, and continuous availability. ASE's innovative Virtual Wire and Virtual Fiber technology, seamlessly interconnects storage and computing networks over existing wide area networks, offering a more ubiquitous and cost effective alternative to dark fiber. "We are extremely excited to have been selected by INX to be part of its Extend2Cloud strategy," stated Alex Berlin, AFORE's CEO. "It is becoming clear that the missing link in the virtualization value chain is the wide area network. AFORE's ASE technology transforms existing wide areas to be virtualization ready and INX is at the forefront of enabling elastic cloud solutions." "Our Extend2Cloud architecture provides the flexibility and resilience companies require for delivering IT as a service," stated Jonathan Groves, INX's Vice President of Professional Services. "By partnering with AFORE, INX is able to extend custom cloud solutions to the data center and enhance the use of legacy applications in the cloud. Our partnership allows IT decision makers to make a cloud architectural decision today without reengineering all their applications and process in order to gain cloud benefits," stated Groves. INX will be demonstrating its E2C solution, including AFORE's ASE3300 virtualization extension technology, at VMWorld, booth # 1338, August 31 - September 3, 2009, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. AFORE will be showcasing their virtualization technology solutions at Booth1438J.
