Telecom New Zealand Upgrades International Network With Juniper Networks Infrastructure

Telecom New Zealand (News - Alert) International (TNZI), a global service provider of Internet transit, data, voice and mobile services, has upgraded the capacity and security of its international network with Juniper Networks (News - Alert) M-series routers and Integrated Security Gateways (ISG).
 
TNZI by upgrading its network infrastructure throughout the U.S., U.K., Singapore, Australia and New Zealand would be able to enhance the responsiveness and efficiency of service delivery to new consumer, business and wholesale customers across a common international network platform.
 
The Juniper Networks M-series multiservice edge routing platforms are deployed by the world’s most demanding service providers, delivering advanced IP/MPLS edge routing services at scale. Constructed with clean separation between the control plane, forwarding plane and services plane, the M-series routers support multiple services without compromise on a single platform — minimizing operational and capital costs.
 
“With Juniper Networks highly scalable, high-performance multiservice routers and firewalls we have built a service-enabling network infrastructure that will reduce and simplify the changes needed to accelerate the deployment of new revenue generating services,” said Charles Jarvie, Head of International Technology and Operations, TNZI, in a statement.
 
TNZI is deploying the M120 and M320 multiservice edge routers, which rely on the single source-code based JUNOS software in a high-performance, highly efficient hardware platform. 
 
“With growing demand in New Zealand and internationally for advanced network services, TNZI required a solution that could drive network monetization by cost-effectively supporting its myriad of existing services at scale — while enabling the rapid introduction of new services,” said Alex Krawchuk, sales director for Australia and New Zealand service providers, Juniper Networks.
 
“Juniper is pleased to be providing TNZI a service-enabling network infrastructure, using both our routing and security platforms that will support their growth and innovation for many years to come.”
 
Juniper Networks, Inc. is a mjor player in high-performance networking. Juniper offers a high-performance network infrastructure that creates a responsive and trusted environment for accelerating the deployment of services and applications over a single network. This fuels high-performance businesses.
