Coriant, a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end transport networking solutions, today announced that redIT has deployed the Coriant® 7100 Nano™ Packet Optical Transport Platform to enhance the resiliency and flexibility of KIO Networks’ mission-critical service infrastructure.
The 7100 Nano deployment builds upon a comprehensive Coriant networking solution which includes multiservice access and IP/MPLS edge router technologies. With industry-leading ROADM capabilities and support for scalable bandwidth services in a compact system design, the 7100 Nano solution enables redIT to cost-effectively meet growing demand for data center connectivity and other high-capacity services and applications such as carriers’ carrier transport, managed IT cloud, and storage on demand.
“Our customers face unprecedented challenges in today’s fast-paced and cloud-centric era of IT communications, and we are helping them meet these challenges head on with seamless and secure connectivity solutions optimized for their dynamic business needs,” said Benjamín Martínez, redIT Connectivity Director. “Our high-capacity transport infrastructure plays a critical role in our ability to deliver these solutions, and Coriant’s proven technology is helping us strengthen our customer value proposition with unmatched networking reliability, agility, and scalability.”
redIT, a KIO Networks Group company, now has infrastructure that delivers more than 3,000 kilometers of metropolitan optical fiber throughout Mexico and the United States. Additionally, redIT provides 5,000 kilometers of extended network coverage and 2,900 lit buildings in major cities. Recognized as a market-leading ROADM solution for metropolitan and regional networks, the 7100 Nano supports the flexible and efficient transmission of high-speed bandwidth services across redIT’s fiber optic infrastructure. Key platform features such as ease of scalability, support for diverse protocols and service interfaces, low latency transport, and high-availability mesh- and ring-based restoration and protection capabilities provide the resilient foundation underlying the mission-critical data center interconnect redIT delivers to KIO Networks and redIT’s on-demand business connectivity services.
“Our unwavering focus remains on helping our customers maximize the value of their transport infrastructure to create true service differentiation,” said Alberto Barriento, Regional Vice President, Latin America, Coriant. “We have worked closely with redIT to understand their unique needs and develop a customized solution directly aligned to their network architecture and operational requirements, including fast provisioning of services. The result is a powerful solution that fuses product and technology innovation with access to core operational simplicity.”
