RETN Picks On Juniper’s Ethernet Services Router
In a recent announcement Juniper Networks said that RETN, one of the leading network carriers in Russia, has deployed the Juniper Networks MX-series Ethernet Services Routers to create more reliable and service-enabling network infrastructure. RETN provides high-performance network capacity and transport services for its service provider customers, who depend upon the RETN network to deliver high capacity, bandwidth-intensive services and applications.
The Juniper Networks MX960 ESR delivers up to 960 Gbps of switching and routing capacity and optimized for emerging Ethernet network architectures and services. Whereas, The MX480 delivers up to 480Gbps of switching and routing capacity in a smaller form factor and shares the same line cards, switch fabrics, route engines and operating system as the MX960.
“We selected the MX-series because we feel it is the most advanced Ethernet Services Router on the market, perfectly suited to our need for a high-performance network infrastructure. The fact that it runs on JUNOS, a proven and consistent operating system, also gives us a great deal of confidence, and enables us to leverage existing investment in our network without extra training or management costs,” said Dmitry Samarin, chief executive officer, RETN.
Since its foundation in 2002, RETN has increased its network reach and capability across Russia and internationally. Today the company has interconnection with more than 550 domestic and international network partners, serving more than 900 corporate and service provider customers. A few of the main routes on RETN's network provide 30 gigabit links to ensure sufficient bandwidth is available for its customers' data application services.
