To deliver on-demand services for data, communications and entertainment
True Internet has announced the deployment of the Cisco Nexus 7000 series switch. The deployment is part of True Internet's goal to become a service provider delivering a range of data, communications and entertainment services to its customers.
The Cisco Nexus 7000 is a switching platform combining Ethernet, internet protocol and storage capabilities across one unified network. The platform is also a component of Cisco Unified Service Delivery, an architecture that enables service providers to deliver video, data and video services from the data centre.
The company claimed that it will be the first service provider to accommodate 40-Gbps Ethernet in Thailand as soon as it is approved. Previously, True Internet deployed the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, and at that time was the first service provider in Thailand to upgrade its internet backbone to 10-Gbps Ethernet.
Tatchapol Poshyanonoda, managing director of Cisco Thailand, said: "According to the recent Cisco visual networking index study, global IP traffic will increase fivefold by 2013, driven by high-speed broadband, video, mobility and digital multitasking. This means service providers around the world have the opportunity to transform their infrastructure to accommodate this growth and increased demands on the network.”
Vasu Khunvasi, general manager of True Internet, said: "The performance of the Cisco Nexus 7000 platform, which supports 40-gigabits per second and is scalable to 100Gbps, positions us well for the future. We will be one of the first internet service providers in Asia to have this capability. In addition, the platform can also support new data, communications and even entertainment applications in the future."
