Feb, 2002 : Electric Lightwave Selects Juniper for Metro Networks
📅 - Juniper Networks, Inc. (juniper.net), a provider ofnext-generation IP infrastructure systems, and Electric Lightwave, Inc.(eli.net), an integrated communications provider, has announced a new series of nationwide, multi-service metropolitan area networks (MANs).
"Juniper Networks M-series routers deliver superior levels of reliability,industry-leading fast packet forwarding and intelligent filtering criticalto maintaining network integrity for our customers. These routers areproviding peering today for inter-exchange carriers and we can offeradditional services including MPLS for provisioning parallel data, voice andtransit networks over a single IP network," said Mike Eastridge, manager,data engineering at Electric Lightwave.
Juniper Networks M5, M10 and M20 Internet routers all leverage JuniperNetworks Internet Processor II ASIC combined with JUNOS Internet softwaregiving service providers and carriers the ability to add new services toexisting services with no performance hits, the company says. ElectricLightwave's network now has the capability to simultaneously deliver a widerange of IP services including transparent LAN, Point to Point and Qualityof Service in Resource Reservation Protocol over a single IP network atscale.
Electric Lightwave will also use Juniper Networks IP infrastructure tosimplify network management and provisioning and reduce overall costs ofoperation. Operational costs are reduced through simplified network designcycles, common software and network management capabilities and centrallyadministered chassis-based updates versus legacy card-based management. AllJuniper Networks systems integrate with existing remote managementequipment. At peering locations where Electric Lightwave links with othernetworks, the company easily turns on filtering functions, such asmonitoring, to thwart distributed denial of service attacks for increasedsecurity. These filters are fully functional even under heavy networktraffic load with multiple concurrent services operating in the background.
