Zenlayer deploys ADVA FSP 3000 for edge cloud connectivity support
ADVA (FSE: ADV) says it has provided edge cloud services provider Zenlayer with ADVA FSP 3000 platform for a new fiber-optic network. Zenlayer will use the fiber infrastructure to offer resilient connectivity services to customers in such markets as gaming, cloud computing, and social media.
In addition to the FSP 3000 platform, Zenlayer will leverage ADVA’s QuadFlex line cards and OpenFabric cross-connect technology to support a mix of traffic that includes Ethernet, Fibre Channel and SONET/SDH. Ultra-low latency and the ability to support rapid addition of capacity as needed will be hallmarks of the fiber infrastructure.
“With this deployment, we’re injecting new levels of flexibility and reliability into our infrastructure. ADVA’s technology offers a major boost to our customers who are delivering more and more data-intensive real-time services to their end users. It opens the door to the next generation of teleconferencing, streaming, and online gaming technologies,” said Alex Wang, network architect and product manager, Zenlayer. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles and Shanghai with offices in Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen.
“Our new solution is extremely efficient in terms of footprint and power consumption,” Wang continued. “It’s also a future-proof investment ready to scale even further in years to come. Another key component in the success of the project was our close working relationship with ADVA’s engineers. They made sure the whole process was seamless and speedy from network design to shipment and implementation.”
“This deployment will benefit a great number of enterprises operating in Taiwan and Singapore. With the ability to flexibly and efficiently transport multi-traffic services at speeds up to 200Gbit/s, Zenlayer’s telecom, cloud service and gaming customers can enhance the experience of their end users and gain a vital competitive edge,” added Erik Lindberg, vice president, sales, APAC, ADVA. “Zenlayer has a clear vision of what its customers expect and a bold strategy for delivering it.”
