Clouditalia Puts Coriant 7090 to Work

NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Coriant, a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end transport networking solutions, today announced that Clouditalia, a provider of integrated telecommunications and cloud services throughout Italy, has deployed the Coriant 7090 Packet Transport Platform to enhance service delivery to its Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) business customers. The Coriant Packet Transport Network (PTN) solution, which includes support for MPLS-TP, enables Clouditalia to cost-effectively deliver flexible Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) services directly to end-user business customers, while expanding support for growing cloud and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications. With the ability to efficiently support diverse traffic types on the same platform, the Coriant solution also enables Clouditalia to enhance customer value by seamlessly migrating legacy services such as E1, SDH, and lower bit rate Ethernet.

"Providing our customers a total solution – from multiservice cloud access to wholesale optical transport – is a cornerstone of our service differentiation," said Marco Iannucci, Chief Executive Officer, Clouditalia. "This flexible and scalable PTN solution, which builds upon our Coriant-powered coherent 100G fiber optic network, significantly enhances our ability to deliver innovative new business services optimized for the current and future bandwidth needs of our small and medium-sized customers."

In addition to supporting a broad range of TDM and packet-based services, the MPLS-TP-enabled 7090 PTN solution met Clouditalia’s stringent feature and performance requirements, including carrier-grade restoration and Quality of Service (QoS), efficient and redundant grooming and aggregation at the network edge, AC and DC power options, VLAN management, and support for ring- and mesh-based protection architectures. These 7090 capabilities ensure maximum flexibility in network design and service creation, while reducing operating costs such as space and power. With advanced network management capabilities, the Coriant PTN solution also enables Clouditalia to accelerate service deployment to meet the demands of their end-user business customers, while simplifying operations and enhancing overall agility and flexibility of network and service management.
