Hibernia Atlantic Chooses 3Com’s H3C Technology to Deliver Enhanced Ethernet Services
Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse transatlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, today announces it has selected 3Com’s (Nasdaq: COMS) H3C® S7500E modular switches to deliver cost-effective Ethernet services across its transatlantic submarine cable network. Hibernia Atlantic owns and operates a fast, direct connection between North America and the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.
By adding H3C S7500E switches across its network, Hibernia Atlantic will offer more cost-efficient, Ethernet-based services from multiple 1Mbps commitments to 10Gbps.
“For quite some time, we have been actively researching our options for rolling out Ethernet-based MPLS services across our network,” states Derek Bullock, Vice President of Network Operations, Hibernia Atlantic. “We tested a variety of solutions from multiple vendors before choosing H3C S7500E MPLS switches from 3Com. H3C switches differentiate themselves in terms of price, performance and expandability. They also have excellent global and local support and services.”
“Our H3C networking solutions lead the industry in terms of technology and cost efficiency,” continues Ron Sege, President and COO of 3Com. “They offer large enterprises, ISPs and connectivity providers such as Hibernia, a new level of energy-efficiency and total cost of ownership without compromising network performance. This is a key win for us in the carrier market and will open the door to many similar deployments.”
Hibernia Atlantic’s transatlantic and terrestrial network provides European and US customers with high bandwidth connectivity with unparalleled support and service. Hibernia provides a unique network footprint that avoids traditional, congested waterways, like around New York City and London, and instead offers ‘security through diversity’. Hibernia provides dedicated Ethernet and optical level service up to GigE, 10G and LanPhy wavelengths and traditional SONET/SDH services. Hibernia Atlantic’s cutting-edge network technology offers enterprise customers, carriers and wholesale customers reliable, next-generation bundled services at competitive prices.
