'Interoute enhances IP network capacity with Juniper'

European data network operator Interoute and Juniper Networks have entered into a contract to add an extra 9.5 Tb of capacity to Interoute's pan European IP network. The upgrade is in response to increased internet traffic from ISPs, content providers and enterprise customers, which led to Interoute experiencing IP traffic doubling every twelve months. Interoute has deployed the Juniper Networks MX Series Ethernet Services Routers in its core pan European IP network. Interoute's IP network is part of the digital backbone of the European internet, and also provides IP transit and content delivery services to enterprise and media owners. The IP layer is one of five network platforms that form part of Interoute's European network. The current network infrastructure has the capacity to be upgraded a further 50 times, giving Interoute's customers a deep reserve from which to draw as their demands increase. Juniper's MX960 Ethernet Services Router platform has been deployed across twelve cities within the Interoute network including Amsterdam, Berlin, Bratislava, Budapest, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague and Stockholm. The MX960 platform is a carrier Ethernet platform with up to 960 Gbps of switching and routing capacity. It enables a range of business and residential applications and services, including high-speed transport and VPN services and network aggregation. The MX Series is based on the Junos software.
