Hurricane increases capacity with Coriant Groove
Internet backbone operator uses network disaggregation platform to extend connectivity between data centres in Silicon Valley
Coriant, a supplier of packet optical, IP, and SDN solutions, has announced that Hurricane Electric has deployed the Coriant Groove G30 Network Disaggregation Platform in a Data Centre Interconnect (DCI) application.
Fremont-based Hurricane operates an International Internet backbone with connections ranging from multiple 10 GigE to multiple 100 GigE. It selected the Coriant Groove G30 solution to scale capacity between key data centre locations in Silicon Valley, including San Francisco, Palo Alto, San Jose, and Fremont.
The Coriant DCI solution is designed to support efficient multi-terabit optical transmission over dark fibre metro and regional applications, and will also enable Hurricane Electric to extend multi-terabit connectivity between regions using alien wavelength service applications.
"We continue to enhance our network infrastructure to meet the throughput and low latency requirements our global customers require to deliver a best-in-class Internet experience," said Mike Leber, president, Hurricane Electric.
"Interconnection needs in Silicon Valley are some of the most demanding in the world, and as we scaled our fibre optic transport backbone in the Bay Area we needed a proven solution with superior technical capabilities. The Coriant Groove G30 was a perfect fit for our need, and proved to be extremely easy to use and quick to deploy."
TheCoriant Groove G30 Network Disaggregation Platform is a 1RU modular open transport solution designed to deliver programmable, high speed, and secure bandwidth optimised for the growing capacity demands of mobile, video, IoT, and cloud applications.
Groove G30 can be equipped as a muxponder terminal solution and as an Open Line System (OLS) optical layer solution. Open APIs ensure rapid introduction and easy integration within any network operating environment.
"We are delighted that Hurricane Electric selected Coriant as their networking partner of choice for this important transport upgrade project," said Jon Fishlow, managing director, Enterprise Sell-Through Business, Coriant. "This new deployment represents further validation of our Groove G30 solution, which is currently providing resilient and efficient transport for many of the world's leading service providers and web-scale Internet operators."
