Polaris implements Brocade for campus and data center network revamp


Polaris
Financial Technology, a global financial technology company, announced that it
has deployed new switching infrastructure from Brocade within its campus and
data center network.

 

The solution
will support increased developer productivity with improved performance,
greater security while delivering a 30 percent lower total
cost-of-ownership.

 

The solution
proposed by Brocade answered our need for increased performance and security
while offering greater scalability, flexibility and a 30 percent better total
cost-of-ownership compared to the present system,” said Shashi Mohan, CIO &
CTO, Polaris Financial Technology.

 

Brocade
FastIron SX Series switches have been deployed to form a fault-tolerant 10
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) IP core.

 

FastIron SX
1600s enables Polaris Software to dispense with a conventional aggregation
switching layer, connecting access switches that support 5,000 staff and 400
servers directly to the switching core.

 

FastIron SX
800s have been deployed within the Polaris data center to handle physical and
virtual server access.

 

Brocade’s FCX
Series and FWS Series switches connect workstation and IP
phones.

 

“Companies
across the globe recognize the critical need for a more dynamic, reliable,
and scalable network infrastructure for their on-going success.
Brocade’s  commitment  to  unmatched  simplicity,
drives  OpEx savings and non-stop   networking  in
order  to  meet  such  stringent  service  level
agreements,” said Rajesh Kaul, director of Brocade India.

 

Polaris offers
solutions for Core Banking, Corporate Banking, Wealth & Asset Management
and Insurance.

 

Recently, CBN, Indonesia’s Internet service provider, announced the launch of a cloud
computing data center, using Ethernet fabric switching from Brocade.

 

CBN selected
Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switches to provide a single-layer 10 Gigabit
Ethernet backbone network for the grid, enabling low-latency any-to-any
connections among the grid servers and the virtual machines they host.
