PacketFabric Deploys Coriant to Support SDN Platform

PacketFabric, has deployed the Coriant Groove G30 DCI Platform to support its fully automated software-defined networking (SDN)-based platform.

The PacketFabric platform offers users the ability to instantaneously provision terabit-scale connectivity in a direct, private, and secure manner, providing seamless connectivity across the PacketFabric network.

The Coriant Groove G30 DCI Platform enables a scalable and flexible backbone network, capable of adapting to changing traffic patterns and growing demand for video and cloud services, as well as Data Center Interconnection (DCI).

“A critical component underpinning the functionality of the PacketFabric platform is access to massive amounts of underlying optical transport capacity,” said Richard Steenbergen, CTO of PacketFabric. “As such, we carefully evaluated the latest state-of-the-art DWDM infrastructure offerings from a number of different sources. The Coriant Groove G30 DCI Platform delivered far and away the best scalability, density and power efficiency in the market, as well as the SDN capabilities necessary to support our next-generation automated infrastructure.”

The platform is a stackable transport solution for cloud, data center and IX networks that delivers 3.2 Tbps of capacity throughput in a  1RU form factor. It supports software-programmable DWDM line rates (100G/150G/200G), enabling PacketFabric to maximize cost-efficiency and performance across its backbone.

“We are pleased to partner with PacketFabric and support their revolutionary approach to interconnect services with a high-performance DCI solution optimized for their packet optical transport needs,” said Tarcisio Ribeiro, executive vice president and chief commercial and marketing officer, Coriant.

PacketFabric’s SDN-based network platform connects major carrier hotels and data centers throughout North America, and is designed to deliver hundreds of Terabits per second of on-demand connectivity across its purpose-built private backbone network. It provides both a web-based portal and an advanced Application Program Interface (API), enabling customers to dynamically design and deploy any network configuration on-demand. Real-time analytics capabilities further extend the platform, providing complete control and visibility into network performance and traffic data.
