Berlin Commercial Internet Exchange (BCIX), Berlin’s leading Internet Exchange Point, has selected the Coriant Groove G30 Network Disaggregation Platform to scale its distributed peering infrastructure as demand for high-bandwidth interconnect capacity in the capital of Germany grows exponentially.
Connecting major data center sites across Berlin, the Coriant solution will enable BCIX to deliver high-capacity neutral exchange services, including 100G Data Center Interconnect (DCI) services that can be deployed quickly, easily, and cost-efficiently, said Coriant.
According to Coriant, BCIX selected the Groove G30 solution for its high density, low power consumption, and ease of operation, as well as its ability to meet the high-availability, high-quality connectivity demands of its end-user customers, which include domestic and international Tier 1 service providers, global web-scale internet operators, cloud providers, and Over the Top (OTT) content providers.
With the recent introduction of a new Coherent Multiservice Sled, the Groove G30 solution also provides BCIX a seamless and cost-effective path to higher interconnect speeds, including 400G client side and 600G line side transmission – without the need for forklift upgrades or costly and complex flexi-grid ROADMs.
