network routes to meet
growing demand
/////////////////////////////
G
TT Communications, a leading
global cloud networking provider
to multinational clients, has
announced the upgrade of its fibre network
across several of its European routes. The
network upgrades enhance the capacity
and performance capability of GTT’s Tier 1
global IP network footprint for its enterprise
and carrier clients.
GTT has upgraded routes that connect
network points of presence in London,
Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris, including
the subsea link between the United
Kingdom and the Netherlands, along with
an additional route in southern Europe that
connects Madrid and Marseille. GTT has also
deployed more fibre capacity on its metro
networks in Paris and Marseille. The upgrade
to the Marseille metro network extends
to multiple subsea cable landing stations.
Additionally, GTT has expanded its European
66
INTELLIGENTCIO
network footprint by deploying a new point
of presence in Belgrade, Serbia.
GTT utilised Infinera’s FlexILS line system
and high-performance ICE4 optical engine
with instant bandwidth to complete the
upgrades. These technologies work together
to double network capacity, enhance the
network’s software-defined capabilities and
provide clients with faster service delivery.
“Europe is a major market for GTT and we
are continuing to invest in our advanced
network infrastructure to support clients’
ever-increasing bandwidth requirements,”
said Rick Calder, GTT President and CEO.
“This is a further demonstration of GTT’s
commitment to deliver on its purpose
to connect people across organisations,
around the world and to every application
in the cloud.” n
