Business Wire
New infrastructure enables flexibility and a
higher-quality shopping experience in 250 stores across the
Midwest
Xiber, an Indianapolis-based nationwide Internet Service
Provider, selected Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) to build an SDN and NFV
network for a major retail chain that spans six states in the
Midwestern region of the United States. Leveraging Ciena’s Adaptive
IP™ solution, Xiber will provide enhanced IP and network security
at various retail locations as well as faster and more reliable
internet connectivity for store employees and shoppers.
Key Facts:
- Virtualizing the network will enable Xiber to quickly and
remotely adapt to new service and connectivity requirements for its
retail customer. In addition, the customer will benefit from
Xiber’s ability to deploy to new locations faster than other
providers as well as super low latency and high availability across
Xiber’s network back to the customer’s network and out to the
Internet.
- Ciena’s 3926 and 3928 Platforms, and 5144 Router, which are
part of the Adaptive IP solution, will serve as the upgraded
infrastructure foundation for the new SDN and NFV network. Enhanced
security and firewall capabilities and virtual routers will provide
a more seamless and secure connectivity experience for Xiber’s
retail client and its customers.
- To help maintain full control of its network and have
visibility in potential service disruptions, Xiber will leverage
Ciena’s Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller.
