SPAIN : Spain operator deploys F5 Networks F5 converged carrier infrastructure solutions [TendersInfo (India)]

(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Spain based fibre optic telecommunications operator R, has deployed F5 Networks F5 converged carrier infrastructure solutions in its ISP network.

With F5 converged carrier infrastructure solutions, the operator can exploit service virtualization, global load balancing, added robust web application security and extremely enhanced capability to scale service provisioning on a single VIPRION platform.

R's business is based on the offering of quadruple play services to subscribers based mainly in Galicia region of Spain. Due to subscriber base growth and legacy infrastructure issues, the operator was seeking a consolidated infrastructure which will be a long-term platform to provide existing and new web application services.

Using VIPRION's vCMP technology, R can rationally isolate different services on a single blade. This technology integrates virtualization and multi-tenancy capabilities to assist customers capably consolidate and administer application and service delivery. This will, in turn, reduce both capital and operations expenses. R has also deployed F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager and is planning to roll out F5 BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager on the same VIPRION platform. By integrating these network functions, R can replace a number of legacy point products and decrease the total cost of ownership for offering its services to customers.

"F5's reputation in the market was key as we began to consider which vendors could provide the necessary carrier grade solutions to form R's platform for technology renewal and future growth," said Ignacio Penedo, Network Engineering Manager of R.

"The evolution to cloud environments and the transfer of client infrastructure to the data centre results in greater demand for both client connections and for client access to services. Similarly, this evolution drives the need for more flexible services deployment and a simplified infrastructure and network architecture. These considerations, as well as the total cost of ownership of the F5 VIPRION platform relative to other offerings, were the compelling factors in our decision," said Margarita Martinez, Head of ISPs at R.

Miguel Salgado, General Manager of Sales, Spain and Portugal at F5 Networks, said, "On-demand scalability was one of R's key requirements, and F5 has a long track record of providing this. What R and other carriers are also picking up on is vCMP. Being able to have complete, logical separation of software and services instances on one device is critically important for carriers that need to ensure that each group's resources and network traffic are fully isolated from each other."
