TekLinks deploys Transmode for Alabama metro-network
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Dallas, Texas and Stockholm, Sweden - 10(th) November 2014 - Transmode, a global
supplier of packet optical networking solutions, today announced that TekLinks
has deployed a DWDM metro optical network in Birmingham, Al, USA, based on
Transmode's TM-Series platform. The new network will provide high-capacity links
for TekLinks' datacentres and provide scalable bandwidth to support its
customers.
TekLinks is an IT solutions provider that provides a range of services including
colocation, hosting, storage, virtualization and cloud services across southern
Mississippi, Tennessee, northern Alabama and the Gulf coast.
The new optical network built by TekLinks is a three-node, 10G ring network that
includes Transmode's recently-announced, high-density and low power Hex OTN
Transponder cards. TekLinks chose to build its own DWDM network in Birmingham
after evaluating the cost and timescales of buying services from service
providers in the area.
John East, Director of Network Operations, said, "We needed to expand the
capacity on our fibre network and moving to a DWDM network was the next logical
step. We chose to build our own network to maintain control and give us the
flexibility and scalability to best serve our customers both for now and into
the future.
"Buying in high capacity services from an operator would have been comparatively
expensive and given TekLinks very little flexibility. Deploying Transmode's TM-
Series has been a very simple and cost effective solution."
Due to the quick delivery times and ease of installation and commissioning
procedures of Transmode's TM-Series, the project proceeded rapidly from vendor
selection to a live network.
TekLinks has now not only built a high capacity network to connect its own
datacentres, but has also been able to build a platform that allows the company
to swiftly meet the likely future capacity demands of its customers.
Bjorn Andersson, Transmode's Vice President, Americas, commented, "We are
delighted to be announcing another new customer in North America that needed to
take advantage of our technology to build a cost effective network. This project
shows that our solutions can support all datacenter applications and operators
of all sizes can benefit from the economics and simple operations that our
solutions provide."
