P&TLuxembourg selects Optical Networking
P&TLuxembourg, a fixed and mobile telephone operator in Luxembourg, has deployed Optical Networking's ADVA FSP 150 to offer intelligent Ethernet services to enterprise customers, states ABN Newswire.
Connecting major cities throughout the country, P&TLuxembourg's new network is built on a foundation of IP over fibre, and uses the ADVA FSP 150 to deliver a range of intelligent Ethernet services.
"The ADVA FSP 150 plays a strategic role in this new enterprise network, delivering previously unattainable levels of service intelligence and end-to-end service management that are vital for meeting the exacting demands of our enterprise customers," stated Carlo Richartz, head of Backbone Deployment at P&TLuxembourg.
Network storage on the rise
According to IDM.net, the analysts at ABI Research say network storage will be the fastest growing core home networking category over the next five years, with the sector expected to hit just over $1.4 billion by 2013.
The firm calculates that network storage is worth in the vicinity of $400 million worldwide today; however, as sales of home networking equipment such as routers slow and the hunger for storage space grows exponentially, network storage is expected to ramp up rapidly.
"ABI Research believes that network storage will see more consumer pull-based demand in coming years, though we never expect consumer network storage to see the same type of overall market demand as we've seen in the home router and gateway market," says research director Michael Wolf.
