Advanced Infrastructure Delivers Massive Performance and Scalability for Growing Customer Base
Phoenix, AZ, February 16, 2012 – Phoenix NAP – Phoenix NAP®, a full service data center, premier Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider and primary network access point (NAP), announced today that its Secured Servers offering, a leading supplier of top-of-the-line, value-focused, web hosting and infrastructure solutions, has a brand new network. The data center cited rapid growth as the reason for the complete system makeover.
"We are extremely excited to unveil our new network," said Ian McClarty, Phoenix NAP president. "During our initial launch, we utilized an industry standard network system. Although this worked fantastic for more than a year, a surge in both growth and demand caused us to reevaluate our current network and thus the process of designing an entirely new, future-proof one began."
Every layer of the network has been upgraded with next generation Ethernet switches and routers to help ensure maximum performance and carrier-grade resiliency. Multiple redundant pairs of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Brocade MLXe and NetIron XMR routers power network services from the core to edge. In addition, brand new Brocade VDX Ethernet fabric and FCX top-of-rack switches are just a few notable changes included on Phoenix NAP Secured Servers' new network.
"With the roll out of their new network, Phoenix NAP is demonstrating an exceptional level of foresight and ingenuity from both a technological and business perspective," said Ken Cheng, vice president of Service Provider Products at Brocade. "The implementation of Brocade next-generation Ethernet infrastructure solutions via Brocade Network Subscription provides the ideal networking foundation for maximum performance and reliability, while enabling the utmost level of flexibility for future growth and service creation."
The new Phoenix NAP Secured Servers network is being implemented now, setting the stage for future connectivity needs.
"In addition to the technical changes to our network, our clients will be able to reap a multitude of new benefits that come along with the redesign," added McClarty. "Improved traffic routing and scalable configurations to accommodate growth and bandwidth demands are just two examples of improvements clients will see. We are both excited and proud to unveil the network to them and the public."
Phoenix NAP is a PCI DSS Validated Service Provider and a SSAE 16 facility.
