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 and Carrier Ethernet (CE), 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.
According to Coriant, with the ability to efficiently support diverse traffic types on the same platform, the solution also enables Clouditalia to enhance customer value by seamlessly migrating legacy services such as E1, SDH, and lower bit rate Ethernet. 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, said Coriant.
Marco Iannucci, Chief Executive Officer, Clouditalia
Providing our customers a total solution – from multiservice cloud access to wholesale optical transport – is a cornerstone of our service differentiation. 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.
Pat DiPietro, President and CEO, Coriant
The 7090 solution enables Clouditalia to cost-effectively capitalize on the growing trend of enterprise customers moving more and more of their applications into the cloud by providing flexible and efficient GbE services from the datacenters directly to end-user business customers and bypassing traditionally complex and expensive IP-based transport infrastructure.
