F5 Networks announced that Spanish fiber optic telecommunications operator R has implemented F5 converged carrier infrastructure solutions in its ISP network.
The Spanish carrier aims to take advantage of service virtualization, global load balancing, more robust web application security and a vastly improved ability to scale service provisioning on a single VIPRION platform.
R’s business is built on the provision of quadruple play services to subscribers based primarily in the Galicia region of Spain. Subscriber base growth and legacy infrastructure issues prompted a technology renewal project aimed at delivering a consolidated infrastructure that would be a long-term platform to deliver existing and new web application services. Web application security and traffic management between data centers were also important requirements.
The VIPRION 2400 is a midrange platform that enables a broader range of customers to take advantage of the inherent capabilities of the VIPRION architecture, including on-demand throughput, SSL processing, compression, and CPU resources.
