Netflix Accelerates Global Video Streaming with Infinera Cloud Xpress 2
09 November 2017 - 12:00AM
Infinera, the leading provider of Intelligent Transport
Networks, announced that Netflix, the world’s leading internet
television network, deployed the Infinera Cloud Xpress 2 to expand
their delivery capacity for streaming videos. More than 100 million
Netflix members in over 190 countries enjoy 125 million hours of
streaming TV shows and movies per day.
Netflix chose the Cloud Xpress 2 for the unmatched combination
of capacity and simplicity in a compact, easy-to-install optical
networking platform. The Cloud Xpress 2 supports simple
point-and-click provisioning and the highest plug-and-play
combination of capacity and reach available, delivering 1.2
terabits per second of capacity up to 130 kilometers without any
external equipment. Infinera Instant Bandwidth enables Netflix to
activate and pay for additional capacity in minutes, reducing
initial cost of deployment while remaining responsive to dynamic
capacity demands.
“The Infinera Cloud Xpress 2 makes it easy to deploy new
high-capacity links between our Open Connect content delivery
points of presence and quickly scale capacity to match demand,”
said Dave Temkin, vice president of global networks, Netflix.
“We are honored to work with Netflix to help improve the
delivery of streaming videos for its more than 100 million members
around the world,” said Pete Dale, vice president of sales, cloud
and content at Infinera. “The Netflix deployments demonstrate the
exceptional simplicity and operational efficiency of the
terabit-scale Cloud Xpress 2.”
“The Infinera Cloud Xpress was the first compact modular data
center interconnect (DCI) platform on the market in 2014 and is an
amazing technical and commercial success,” said Andrew Schmitt,
lead analyst, optical at Cignal AI. “Infinera led the fast-growing
compact modular DCI market from its inception - and still does with
38 percent share for the first half of 2017.”
The Infinera Cloud Xpress Family delivers high-performance DCI
solutions to cloud service providers, internet content providers,
internet exchange service providers, enterprise network operators
and other large-scale data center operators. The Cloud Xpress 2
features the Infinera Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE4), also
available in the Infinera XTS-3300 for subsea applications and the
XT-3300 for terrestrial long-haul applications.
