Nieuw systeem leidt tot verbetering netwerkperformance

Amsterdam, 29 juli 2008 - Service provider Carrier to Carrier Telecom heeft
gekozen zijn systemen te standaardiseren op Cisco's Integrated Service
Routers (ISR's) en past het Cisco Network Capacity Expansion-systeem (NCE)
toe voor implementaties op afgelegen locaties. Hiermee biedt Carrier to
Carrier Telecom klanten verbeterde betrouwbaarheid en schaalbaarheid voor
hun netwerken en wordt ook het stroomverbruik teruggedrongen. Het bedrijf
implementeert op dit moment de oplossingen bij klanten in Europa, het Midden
Oosten en Afrika.

Met het CISCO NCE-systeem, dat gebruik maakt van een performance
verbeterende proxy gebaseerd op TCP-to-SCTP, profiteren klanten van Carrier
to Carrier Telecom van het feit dat hun applicaties efficiënter en
transparanter functioneren over hun WAN. Ook wordt de download-snelheid
aanzienlijk vergroot en vermindert de reactietijd. De volledige
ondersteuning van alle Cisco IOS-functionaliteiten, waaronder firewall,
IPSec, NBAR, Qos, Netflow en Cisco IOS Path Optimization zorgt bovendien
voor WAN-optimalisatie op het hoogste niveau.

Carrier to Carrier Telecom optimizes WAN performance with Cisco's Network
Capacity Expansion System

New system leads to major network performance improvements

Amsterdam – July 29, 2008 - Carrier to Carrier Telecom, a leading telecom
service provider, has chosen to standardize on Cisco Integrated Service
Routers (ISR) with the Cisco Network Capacity Expansion (NCE) System for its
remote deployments. With this system Carrier to Carrier Telecom can offer
its customers improved reliability and scalability of their networks as well
as reduction of power consumption. The company has started roll-out of the
solutions at customer sites in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

 
Before deploying the system Carrier to Carrier Telecom and Cisco performed
extensive testing using the NCE-system in a live satellite communications
network. This enabled the Cisco development team to directly adapt to the
real live market demand.

With the Cisco NCE System customers of Carrier to Carrier Telecom can profit
from application acceleration using a highly efficient transparent
performance enhancing proxy based on TCP-to-SCTP. Also they will be able to
significantly increase their download speeds and reduce response times
across high latency WAN links. Furthermore there is 100% interoperability
with all Cisco IOS features including Firewall, IPSec, NBAR, QoS, Netflow
and Cisco IOS Path Optimization features to provide the highest level of WAN
optimization.

Before deploying the system Carrier to Carrier Telecom and Cisco performed
extensive testing using the NCE-system in a live satellite communications
network. This enabled the Cisco development team to directly adapt to the
real live market demand.

 "By consolidating acceleration services into the Cisco ISR's, the
complexity of the network goes down, the reliability goes up, and the
scalability of the solution improves," says Kees Jan Mink, General Manager
of Carrier to Carrier Telecom. "Configurations become simpler, deployment
times are cut in half, management is easier, and we reduce power consumption
at remote sites, which can be very important for locations relying on
batteries and generators. Even for simple things like shipping to customers
in challenging environments, this solution reduces our costs and paperwork."

Michiel Panders, Commercial Director Service Providers at Cisco: "With the
Cisco NCE System Carrier to Carrier Telecom is not only able to boost
network performance at its customers sites, but it also requires fewer
network devices to do so. Furthermore the company can expand its suite of
services which makes it an even more interesting supplier for customers who
want to fully exploit the sometimes limited technical possibilities in
remote areas."

In a typical scenario, Carrier to Carrier Telecom builds a custom solution
for a customer using a Cisco 2800 Series ISR with integrated security and
other services, as well as the Cisco NCE System Advanced Integration Module
(AIM). Back at the Carrier to Carrier Telecom data center, Cisco 3800 Series
ISR's aggregate the WAN links from the customer sites and bookend the Cisco
NCE System acceleration services. The entire framework is linked with
Carrier to Carrier Telecom's core network, composed of Cisco 7200 Series and
Cisco 7600 Series routers, allowing Carrier to Carrier Telecom to support
thousands of remote customer locations with just 18 data center employees.
