German exchange DE-CIX has selected ADVA Optical Networking's 100Gbps metro solution to connect its core Frankfurt data centres. The upgrade allows DE-CIX to migrate its 10Gbps services to 100Gbps with service disruption and is in response to rapidly increasing data traffic. The exchange expects the 2Tbps of peak internet traffic it transports to increase dramatically in the future. ADVA's FSP 3000 solution was selected for the deployment. The solution is claimed to be more efficient in terms of cost, space and power.
