The transport systems vendor says its partner TechAccess, a value-added information technology and networking solution provider, helped ECIX deployed the Cloud Xpress platforms.
"ECIX is experiencing strong growth in Frankfurt and other markets, and we needed a solution that provided compact, simple scalability with support for 100 Gigabit Ethernet over WDM," said Kay Rechthien, CTO at ECIX. "The Infinera Cloud Xpress is a great fit for our internet exchange environment with its high density, Instant Bandwidth scalability, and extreme operational simplicity."
