Korea Exchange Deploys Ciena's Optical Service Delivery

The Korea Exchange (KRX) has deployed Ciena's optical service delivery platforms as part of its data center consolidation efforts. The solutions provide high-performance connectivity in KRX's data center architecture to ensure the delivery of time-sensitive applications and reliable business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) services, while reducing overall network bandwidth consumption. Financial terms were not disclosed.


Ciena noted that its optical service delivery solutions use compression and dynamic bandwidth assignment to allow a variety of applications, such as Storage Area Networking (SAN), Disk Mirroring, Remote Backup, Mainframe, LAN, Clustering, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) to share a single WAN connection. In addition, its ON-Center Network and Service Management Suite enables KRX to provision new connections easily and rapidly, modify and review service parameters, view real-time performance and health metrics graphs, track historical usage of MAN/WAN bandwidth, and perform other important operational tasks via a simple point-and-click interface.
