Decreases OPEX & CAPEX by 70%
Veraz Networks, Inc.
(NASDAQ:VRAZ), the leading provider of Multimedia
Generation Network application, control, and bandwidth optimization
products, today announced that it has begun deploying its ControlSwitch™
and iMN
Multimedia Delivery Platform softswitch and IMS solutions on Sun
Microsystems’ Sun Netra™
T2000 server powered by the UltraSPARC® T1
processor. Veraz has been collaborating with Sun for several years
deploying its solutions on earlier versions of Sun’s
industry leading telecom grade servers including the Sun Netra 240.
The Netra T2000 server’s multi-core,
multi-threaded processing architecture when combined with the
virtualization capabilities of the Solaris™ 10
Operating System (OS) offers 3 to 5 times the performance of the Netra
240. This substantially reduces the required number of servers for a
given deployment, dramatically lowering a service provider’s
capital and operating costs. For example, a deployment scaled to support
72,000 concurrent sessions, which would have required at least 25 Netra
240 servers, can now be built using just 4 Netra T2000 servers. This not
only reduces the rack space required by 84%, it also reduces the power
required by 87% and the number of Ethernet ports by over 70%.
“Veraz offers robust and field-proven
softswitch solutions that are able to take full advantage of the various
features of our latest server and operating system,”
said Mark Butler, Netra systems product line director, Sun Microsystems,
Inc. “We had worked with Veraz previously to
successfully demonstrate the capabilities of Solaris 10 for Telco
deployments and are excited to see how the Netra servers with
CoolThreads technology can extend the existing benefits of their
offerings.”
“Using the Netra T2000 server and Solaris 10
operating system enhances our ability to optimize network resources and
provides significant OPEX and CAPEX savings to our customers,”
said Francesca Puggioni, Head Corporate Business Development, Veraz
Networks. “Having worked with Sun for a
number of years, we have built a great relationship and know we can rely
on its carrier grade infrastructure equipment.”
