ADVA Optical Networking Enables iWeb to Meet Enormous Data Growth



ADVA Optical Networking announced today
that iWeb, one of Canada's largest Internet hosting infrastructure
providers,
has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 throughout its Montreal data center
network.
Comprised of over 35,000 servers spread across five key locations,
iWeb's
network has recently seen enormous data growth. The ADVA FSP 3000 enables
iWeb
to rapidly respond to this data growth and scale to future 100G technology.





"Our network is our critical competitive advantage. It's what
differentiates us.
It's what sets us apart from the market," said Cyrille Mertes, CTO, iWeb.
"Our
network availability and response times are some of the best in the
industry.
That's why it's vital that we only work with the most dynamic partners.
ADVA
Optical Networking reflects our own drive for customer satisfaction
and the
desire to push technology. You only need to look at the small footprint
and low
power consumption of the ADVA FSP 3000 to understand this."



The ADVA FSP 3000 was specifically chosen by iWeb because of its space and
cost
efficiencies. The product's small footprint is critical to its success
in the
data center market. In this environment, it can be deployed into already
cramped
facilities. Additionally, it also reduces operating budgets with its low
power
consumption, which is important for IT managers who are continually
striving to
drive down costs. This combination, along with its scalability, ensures
iWeb can
respond to customer demand in the most effective way possible.



"iWeb has built an impressive history focused on technology and,
more
importantly, using this technology to exceed customer expectations,"
commented
John Scherzinger, senior vice president of North American sales at ADVA
Optical
Networking. "The company has created a network that achieves 100 percent
uptime
and some of the fiercest response times in the industry. We're working with
iWeb
to help drive its network forward, to help the team achieve even more.
This is
the beginning of a partnership that will see iWeb scale to 100G and
beyond."
