JUNE 9, 2008 -- Infinera (search for Infinera) says it has completed a high-bandwidth, regional optical network in California for SAVVIS, Inc., a provider of IT infrastructure services for business applications, which will augment its Application Transport Network (ATN) in California.
Based in St. Louis, SAVVIS Communications Corp. operates a global IT services platform and 29 data centers spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. SAVVIS uses this infrastructure to deliver dedicated, managed, and virtualized hosting, network, and security services to its customers. SAVVIS's ATN, a Tier 1 MPLS network, enables SAVVIS to further virtualize and optimize the delivery of customer applications.
SAVVIS turned to Infinera to expand and enhance the flexibility of its California network capacity to meet customer expectations for reduced latency and increased bandwidth, the systems house says. SAVVIS will upgrade its California network to Infinera's new ILS2 line system, which becomes available this summer, to take advantage of the scalability, extended optical reach, and other advanced features in ILS2.
"In order to meet the demands of the market and our customers, we needed to enhance our network services in California with a highly scalable, technologically advanced optical transport network. Infinera has enabled SAVVIS to quickly install new network capacity, and with Infinera's world class capabilities we are able to grow our data centers and our business in an environmentally responsible manner," said Dennis Brouwer, vice president of network business line management for SAVVIS.
