VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Reliance Globalcom has announced that it is upgrading its European Network with coherent 100G technology.  Reliance Globalcom, which boasts international subsea cable assets spanning over 73,000 Route Kilometers, will be using Ciena's 6500 Packet Optical Platform and WaveLogic coherent optical processors to deploy the 100G network.  Part of the European network connecting Marseilles, London, Paris and Frankfurt is planned to be upgraded with 100G wavelength technology by the end of 2012.

The upgraded network will enable Reliance Globalcom to support the surge in high-bandwidth intensive applications that encompass cloud computing, video conferencing, business continuity/disaster recovery, data center connectivity, and storage area networking, in addition to ever-increasing Internet traffic. It will also enable Reliance Globalcom to offer more flexibility and improved performance to its customers.

The new 100G technology enables Reliance Globalcom to send up to 2.5 times more data over its existing fiber network with 40G technology, reduces the overall cost per Terabit on its network, and enables tighter integration with its recently deployed Terabit Internet routers at higher capacities while providing improved granularity. 

“The 100G deployment will enable significant bandwidth scalability, flexibility and improved performance, while reducing the overall costs for our customers,” said Punit Garg, President & CEO, Reliance Globalcom.
