Vtesse, a U.K.-based communications provider, has expanded its multidegree Re-configurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADM (News - Alert)) node network by adding Telehouse, a provider of carrier-neutral colocation and data center facilities and managed IT services.
Vtesse upgraded its services into the Telehouse data center campus in London’s Docklands.
ROADM represents the next generation of high capacity DWDM networks and by utilizing Tellabs (News - Alert) 7100 Nano optical transport system, Vtesse is touted as one of the first carriers in the U.K. to deploy ROADM networks extensively. With ROADM, Vtesse provides the fastest standard lead-times in the industry. One of the key features of ROADM technology is that it removes the need to dispatch engineers to intermediate network nodes to configure equipment when new services are required.
Vtesse now allows Telehouse customers to enjoy ultra-high bandwidth solutions with 10Gbps connectivity available in just 15 working days, compared to the industry average of 40 – 60 working days.
Paul Besley, general manager of sales and marketing at Vtesse, said in a statement, “With the increase in on-demand IT cloud solutions, we are seeing a corresponding need for fast turn up of high speed networks, as well as more agile IT infrastructures. Vtesse is responding by offering Gigabit speed services over our ROADM network in just 15 working days, less than half the current industry lead-time. By connecting Telehouse’s data centres to our expanding ROADM network, Telehouse customers can now rapidly connect Docklands to other ROADM sites, as well as to key London locations.”
Telehouse’s data centers keep the highest standards for assuring the integrity and functionality of users’ hosted computer environment.
Michelle Reid, Telehouse’s sales and marketing director added, “We are delighted to extend the Vtesse ROADM capability into Telehouse. We pride ourselves in offering customers the unbeatable level of network capability on the data center market and Vtesse adds to the vast array of options available at our site.”
