Fujitsu 1FINITY™ and Virtuora® Platforms Selected by West Corporation to Increase Reliability and Scalability of Enterprise Data Network
Summary
Seeking a reliable, open architecture solution to handle mission-critical data traffic, West turned to Fujitsu, a trusted supplier they have worked with for more than a decade since first deploying the FLASHWAVE ® Packet Optical Networking Platform. In 2018, West provisioned high-performance 1FINITY T310 Transport blades in a 200 Gbps alien wavelength configuration, introducing greater capacity, speed, efficiency and resiliency to their existing optical network platform. “The disaggregated, blade-based 1FINITY transport solution is an ideal upgrade for West’s DCI network, delivering the speed and performance their clients have come to expect,” said Annie Bogue, head of sales and marketing, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. “By pairing the 1FINITY T310 blades with our open-source, adaptable Virtuora management system, West can easily scale capacity when and where it’s needed, vastly improving the overall efficiency of their network.” “Fujitsu understands the importance of transporting mission-critical data, and they worked closely with us to deliver a reliable, carrier-grade solution that ensures our network will be capable of withstanding complex challenges and meeting capacity demands well into the future.” Fujitsu Limited (TSE: 6702) reported consolidated revenues of 4.1 trillion yen (US $39 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
