Globe opens first terabit-level data center in PH

Globe Telecom announced that it has deployed the country’s first-ever terrabit-level data center by upgrading its network facilities with switches and a new routing system. The upgrade connects the company’s suite of cloud solutions to the world with high capacity 10Gbps connections, enabled by terabit-class routing and switching through its CRS-3 routers and Nexus 7000 switches. The configuration of Cisco’s Nexus 7000 Series switches and the CRS-3 routers, coupled with the hardware and software features of the equipment, will result in a practically uninterrupted network in the Globe data center, the company said. With the CRS-3 Carrier Routing System, Globe said it is able to efficiently scale the infrastructure and intelligently deploy converged voice, video, data and mobility services with practical savings. Globe has also upgraded its data centers with the Nexus 7000 Series Switches “because of its scalability, continuous system operation, serviceability and transport flexibility". “These upgrades will bring the network infrastructure of our data centers to the highest levels of performance, availability and security. It will also enhance our recently-launched suite of Cloud Solutions by providing a high-performance system that allows us to scale cloud services very quickly, while maintaining flexibility and reliability," said Jesus Romero, head of Globe Business. Globe Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the company’s first venture into cloud computing, covers backup, storage and compute services. These are all hosted at the Globe data center, where customers can get network access and solutions on-demand, and pay only for what they use. — Newsbytes.ph
