Phoenix NAP To Deploy Packet-Optical Solutions From Cyan

Data center operator Phoenix NAP is planning to deploy packet-optical solutions ‎provided by Cyan to interconnect the company’s two independent co-location facilities ‎situated in the Phoenix area.‎

The Cyan Z-series platforms were expected to provide Phoenix NAP with the required ‎high-performance, low-latency dual transport between the two facilities. This was one of ‎the many other carrier connectivity options being considered to be provided in their ‎facilities in 2011.‎

The state-of-the-art Phoenix NAP Data Center was designed by applying the latest ‎available technologies to support disaster recovery systems and to manage instantaneous ‎business continuity of services by providing secure, highly dependable network access ‎solutions. Cyan’s dominant transport solutions provided a rare combination of ultra-low ‎latent transport, desirable architectural scale, and dependable performance, achievable ‎with very simple and flexible operations. The customer services provided by Cyan were ‎very dependable, meeting the diverse needs of various customers while offering lower ‎infrastructure costs.‎

Cyan’s Z-series packet-optical transport solution combined with multi-layer software ‎systems having diverse fiber optic paths enable customer traffic between the two ‎facilities. Phoenix NAP was now better equipped for meeting the needs of their growing ‎customer base. The Company could now deliver high-performing services, with greater ‎visibility and at a lower cost. Cyan’s Z-series platform can also support Ethernet, DWDM ‎and uses wavelength selectable switching mode for handling 10GB Ethernet transport. ‎The platform offers pay-as-you-go functionality.‎
