Recognized by the Layer123 judges for dramatically reducing emissions, the ADVA FSP 3000 is empowering customers to hit highly ambitious energy targets, even as global traffic continues to grow. Now it’s ensuring that VERBUND’s infrastructure delivers ultra-high capacity while consuming phenomenally low levels of power. As well as significantly boosting the speed of VERBUND’s network, the new solution radically streamlines operations as the whole infrastructure is centrally monitored through the FSP Network Manager. This eases surveillance and maintenance and enables rapid provisioning of new applications. The scalable modular design of the platform also protects VERBUND’s investment and empowers the company to plan for major growth. What’s more, the new solution features Oscilloquartz’s OSA 5420, enabling the precise phase and frequency synchronization required by next-generation network technologies. ADVA’s ConnectGuard™ security technology has also been integrated to guarantee VERBUND’s highly sensitive data is protected at all times.
“By leveraging our FSP 3000, VERBUND has given itself the capacity, resiliency and scalability it needs to grow its business and help create a clean energy future. With the comprehensive assurance of our FSP Network Manager and the native ability to scale to 100Gbit/s and more, VERBUND’s new infrastructure will be an essential tool as it looks to provide Austria with even more renewable power,” commented Andreas Jelinek, senior director, sales, Eastern Europe, ADVA. “As VERBUND is a leading energy provider, it was essential to minimize disruption to services. By working closely with their team and the engineers at SPL Tele, we were able to complete the deployment with minimal downtime. VERBUND’s team is passionate about harnessing the most advanced technology available to ensure excellence, efficiency and sustainability. That’s why it also invested in our ConnectGuard™ physical layer security as well as the latest timing tech from our Oscilloquartz team. We’re proud that our innovation is helping to take their services to the next level.”
“Ensuring the success of this vital network upgrade was an exciting challenge for our team. Underpinning the project was the close relationship that we’ve built up with ADVA and the mutual understanding we have with VERBUND to never settle for second best. Through this, we were able to work together for a smooth and successful deployment in the smallest window of maintenance time,” said Kurt Sperk, division manager, SPL Tele. “This backbone infrastructure is the result of a lot of expertise, commitment and close collaboration between all three teams. We’re proud that VERBUND put so much trust in us and look forward to supporting them with future challenges.”
