3Com Corporation reportedly announced it has received a contract by Casino Club of Argentina to deploy its H3C enterprise networking and TippingPoint security solutions at City Center Rosario, Argentina.

 

Opened in October 2009, City Center Rosario project will boast a casino with high-stakes games, a five-star hotel, and a convention center with capacity for 2,000 persons, 3Com (News - Alert) officials said. The complex will also provide tourism, culture, and arts offers in the Rosario area, making it a significant economic development opportunity for the city.

City Center Rosario picked 3Com’s H3C enterprise networking and TippingPoint security solutions after a competitive bidding process.

 

“We unanimously selected 3Com’s H3C enterprise networking and TippingPoint security solutions because of our high satisfaction with the H3C portfolio at business operations in the complex, such as the Palermo Race Track Casino and the Puerto Madero Casino,” Emmanuel Bonaroti, manager, organization and systems, City Center Rosario, said in a statement.

 

City Center Rosario required a high-value secure networking solution for the Casino that lowered its total cost of ownership without sacrificing performance, scalability and reliability.

3Com’s H3C enterprise networking switches enable Casino Club of Argentina to ensure around-the-clock operational continuity for its high-stakes games and guarantee optimum ROI, company officials said.

 

The facility, reportedly the largest entertainment complex in Latin America, also required the best security solutions to safeguard information, as well as state-of-the-art connectivity for its closed-circuit surveillance system, and for guest services at both the hotel and convention center.

 

3Com addresses these requirements by offering H3C S9500 10-Gigabit Ethernet core switches to drive high availability in the network core. The company deploys H3C S7500E series next-generation high-end multi-service routing switches in the distribution layer.

 

H3C S5600 Gigabit stackable switches at the edge provide connectivity for the casino’s closed-circuit surveillance system. A TippingPoint 1200E IPS safeguards information. Additionally, 3Com’s wireless controllers and access points will also be deployed for Wi-Fi connectivity.

 

“Our company is very proud to collaborate on this project,” said Wilson Barón, director, southern region, 3Com Latin America, in a statement. “We know that network quality is critical for a business like casino, and we are fully confident this network solution will meet their expectations.”

 

Recently, 3Com and Spirent Communications announced a live data center proof of concept demonstration that showcases the capabilities of 3Com’s H3C S12500 and S5820X data center switches under a host of “rigorous” next-generation data center scenarios, TMCnet reported.
