Fiberhub Selects Noction IRP for Intelligent Traffic Routing
PALO ALTO, CA, Nov 28, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Fiberhub specializes in providing colocation and network services
for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming media and
content delivery, as well as providing wholesale solutions for
hosting service providers. The company's network utilizes upstream
transit and peering connections to multiple Tier-1 networks, such as
Inteliquent, Cogent, and Hurricane Electric, as well as private and
public peering.
Before IRP deployment, Fiberhub was relying upon manual optimization
of their BGP routing decisions in order to increase performance and
manage network traffic. BGP is a fundamental technology for the
fault-tolerance of the Internet, which chooses network paths based on
the number of hops traffic must traverse before it reaches its
destination. Nevertheless, BGP does not take into account important
factors of network performance. Therefore, as a result of network
congestion and outages, the paths selected by BGP sometimes
experience higher latency or packet loss. Manual adjustments to the
BGP configuration are time consuming and require constant reviews,
making the task of maintaining a high performing network difficult.
Noction IRP determines the fastest path for the traffic by analyzing
real-time performance metrics. The process is fully automated, which
allows fast re-routing of Fiberhub's traffic around major network
outages and 24/7 proactive performance monitoring, without the manual
intervention that was previously necessary to keep Fiberhub's network
running optimally. Moreover, with Noction IRP, Fiberhub staff can
instantly pinpoint problems and find solutions accordingly. IRP
reporting allows network engineers to monitor and diagnose
performance using real-time statistics on a variety of metrics
including packet loss, latency and jitter.
"Deploying the Noction IRP platform has made a tremendous difference
in the workload necessary to keep our network performance at the high
level our customer expect," stated Rob Tyree, Fiberhub Vice
President. "Instead of making constant adjustments to our BGP routing
configuration as was necessary in the past, our technicians now have
a single tool they can rely upon for network performance monitoring
and automated adjustments. In addition, we are seeing far fewer
support requests related to network performance, which further
increases the value that the Noction IRP platform brings to the
table."
