SAN JOSE, CA – 13 June, 2018 - Allied Telesis, a leading provider of hardware and software products that allow customers to build secure, feature-rich and scalable data exchange solutions, is pleased to announce that its x930 Series of OpenFlow-certified, advanced L3 stackable Gigabit switches have once again been used in new FAUCET Umbrella deployments in Toulouse, France and Tokyo, Japan:
TouIX - one of France’s leading Internet Exchanges, has gambling data philippine migrated to its 2nd OpenFlow Architecture using the x930 Series
DIX-IE - the oldest Tokyo Internet Exchange has started its migration to OpenFlow using x930 Series switches.
An Internet exchange point (IXP) is the physical infrastructure through which Internet service providers (ISP) and content delivery networks exchange Internet traffic between their networks. TouIX was founded in 2005 and interconnects ten ISPs, three data centers, and two other IXPs – FranceIX and LyonIX.
In late 2017, Allied Telesis took part in a series of independent tests, led by the University of Tokyo, to examine the suitability of vendor’s SDN-enabled products for next-generation IXP infrastructure. That project, called the Programmable Internet Exchange in Edo (PIX-IE), helped confirm the performance of x930 switches and their compatibility with the FAUCET SDN controller. One of three IXPs in Tokyo, DIX-IE is now following PIX-IE’s lead by deploying x930 switches. The first DIX-IE member to deploy x930s is data center and cloud services provider BroadBand Tower.
