Australia : VOCUS COMMUNICATIONS rolls out next-generation core infrastructure to 43 points-of-presence in cities across AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Vocus Communications has productively rolled out a next-generation core infrastructure to 43 points-of-presence in cities across Australia and New Zealand. ASI Solutions, the deployment of Brocade® MLXe Series Core Routers, implemented by Brocade local partner gives Vocus more than a 16-fold rise in network potential, allowing it to fulfill the needs for improved data center performance and increasing demand for cloud services. Vocus Communications main driver of business growth was its Fibre and Ethernet product line, during its last monetary year, ended 30 June 2014. Income from Fibre and Ethernet services increases 87 percent to hit AUD$28.02 million. The Vocus Fibre network now reaches over 1,000 buildings in Australian cities and provides near-net connectivity to an added 30,000 buildings. In the last three years we ve been expanding rapidly through both acquisitions and organic growth, with the progress of our Fibre and Ethernet business focusing on meeting the demand for cloud services. We continue to invest in our Fibre network, which now runs more than 600 kilometers through city centers, said Luke MacKinnon, Chief Operating Officer of Vocus Communications. MacKinnon continued, The correlation to this is that, with additional pressure on our network assets, we require high performance from every device connected to our network core. With Brocade the reliability of its solutions and existing network infrastructure was never an issue. However, adding ports to our data centers was paramount. He added, As we ve built the business, we ve also been standardizing our infrastructure using best-of-breed solutions, and with the Brocade MLXe deployed as our next-generation platform, we now have addressed the need for extensive scalability that could quickly ramp up and provide the high port density our customers demand. Vocus had already experienced the performance and dependability of Brocade Ethernet solutions executed earlier at its points-of-presence locations. With fast-rising demand for 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet (GbE) services the option of deploying Brocade MLXe routers which can also support 40 and 100 GbE was an attractive choice. In the last few years Vocus Communications has emerged as one of the savviest players in the Australian and New Zealand service provider markets. Its decision to deploy the Brocade MLXe Series as its delivery platform for metro Ethernet services is a testament to their reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. In the era of cloud-based service delivery this is a smart investment, said Gary Denman, Senior Director, Australia and New Zealand, Brocade. (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
