[SatNews] Data center solutions are the main thrust of this new agreement between these two Companies...
Bell Canada, the largest communications company in Canada, has announced that the Company will offer its Managed Services hosting customers the most versatile, high performance and cost effective data center solutions on the market by implementing Juniper Networks® QFabric™ architecture from Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR). Using Juniper’s single-tier data center fabric, the first of its kind, Bell will be unmatched in its ability to provide customers with a comprehensive portfolio of hosted services solutions. Data center hosting solutions from Bell Canada help its largest customers—from financial institutions to government agencies—optimize and consolidate their infrastructure to reduce costs, improve flexibility and enhance business resiliency through private clouds. With QFabric, Bell Canada addresses these needs through an innovative architecture that removes complexity and enables rapid delivery of the services customers need to stay competitive.
After evaluating other networking vendor solutions, Bell's Managed Services team chose Juniper's QFabric architecture for its ability to deliver simplicity, resiliency and strong performance. In addition, the solution demonstrated record low latency and the ability to scale gradually over time without disruption to daily business operations. Juniper Networks QFabric architecture will be at the core of Bell's network infrastructure and will unify the server, storage, appliance and edge network elements in their new hosting environments. As a result, Bell customers will experience a reduction in the delivery time of cloud-based services and applications for greater business efficiency. Bell Canada provides consumers and business with solutions to all their communications needs: Bell Satellite TV, Bell Mobility wireless, high-speed Bell Internet, Bell Fibe TV, Bell Home Phone local and long distance, and Bell Business Markets IP-broadband and information and communications technology (ICT) services.
