MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coriant, a global supplier of open, disruptive, and hyperscale networking solutions for service providers and web-scale internet operators, today announced that HOPUS, a Marseille-based provider of IP connectivity services, has selected Coriant for a long-term partnership that will enable the company to evolve its resilient, high-capacity transport infrastructure that provides quality routes to major networks. As part of this technology partnership, HOPUS has deployed the Coriant Groove™ G30 Network Disaggregation Platform to cost-efficiently scale network capacity and accelerate provisioning of high-speed transit services. The new regional network deployment will support 100G DWDM transport between the Paris and Amsterdam metropolitan markets and enable efficient delivery of end-to-end internet exchange and IP services.
HOPUS selected the Coriant Groove™ G30 solution for its ultra-high density, industry-leading low power consumption, and proven ease of deployment and operation. Designed as a truly open and disaggregated solution, the Coriant Groove™ G30 will enable HOPUS to cost-efficiently meet the growing IP traffic demands and dynamic applications of its domestic and international service provider, content provider, and internet access customers.
“With the unabated explosion of high-bandwidth end-user applications, not only is demand for capacity growing, but so is our customers’ need for faster response times,” said Philippe Duguet, CEO at HOPUS. “In order to address these evolving demands, we needed an optical transport solution that could meet our stringent performance requirements for efficiency, scalability, and resiliency, while offering operational simplicity and flexibility to facilitate fast and easy service deployment. The Coriant Groove G30 proved the ideal solution.”
The award-winning Coriant Groove™ G30 Network Disaggregation Platform is an innovative 1RU modular open transport solution designed to deliver programmable, high speed, and secure bandwidth optimized for the growing capacity demands of mobile, video, IoT, and cloud applications. Widely deployed in the world’s leading web-scale internet operator, service provider, IXP, and cable MSO networks, the Groove G30 can be equipped as a muxponder terminal solution and as an Open Line System (OLS) optical layer solution. Open APIs ensure rapid introduction and easy integration within any network operating environment.
