Yahoo! Japan deploys Infinera Cloud Xpress

News
Company boosts capacity between datacentres in Osaka


Network company Infinera has announced that Yahoo! Japan, a Japanese internet company, has deployed Cloud Xpress to interconnect its datacentres in Osaka.

Infinera Cloud Xpress Family is designed to deliver cloud-optimised wavelength division multiplexing solutions, providing customers the choice of 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE), 40 GbE and 100 GbE client interfaces.

Yahoo! Japan is one of the largest and most innovative internet portal sites in Japan. Due to increased internet traffic demands from both residential and business services, Yahoo! Japan has experienced growth in key cities like Tokyo and Osaka, driving the need for more capacity between its datacentre facilities.

Working closely with Infinera partner Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation, Yahoo! Japan deployed the Infinera Cloud Xpress to address the need for more capacity. Itochu Techno-Solutions provides Yahoo! Japan information technology solutions and datacentre maintenance services. Yahoo! JAPAN has now deployed the Cloud Xpress and Infinera XTM Series in its metro networks.

With the Cloud Xpress, Yahoo! Japan benefits from Infinera's InP photonic integrated circuit  (PIC) technology which delivers a 500 gigabit per second (Gb/s) super-channel over 150km without additional multiplexers and amplifiers. The Cloud Xpress incorporates Infinera's Instant Bandwidth technology to allow customers to software-activate line-side bandwidth in 100 Gb/s increments as and when needed, closely matching their end-customer demands. In addition, the Cloud Xpress is designed for plug-and-play installation with simplified provisioning and support for datacentre automation using open software defined networking (SDN) application programming interfaces (APIs).

"Yahoo! Japan's datacentres house a large number of servers so both space and power are limited," said Miyuki Tsunekawa, backbone, site operations division at Yahoo! Japan. "The Infinera Cloud Xpress enables the easy deployment of 100 Gb/s capacity in a compact solution with low power consumption, ideally suited for our datacentre environment."

"Yahoo! JAPAN's deployment of the Cloud Xpress is made possible by the collaboration of our partner Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation, offering its customers the best solutions for datacentre interconnect as DCI applications become more pervasive across the globe," said Andrew Bond-Webster, VP, regional sales APAC at Infinera. "The compact design, ease of use and scalability of Cloud Xpress and the XTM Series stand out in metro datacentre interconnect applications where datacentre operators need to grow capacity rapidly while minimising the cost of space and power."
