CenturyLink and Infinera Bring Terabit Capacity to Industry’s Premier Supercomputing Network
November 18 2019 - 8:00AM
CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL), a leading global network services
and technology company, and Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) supplied
equipment, software, and services to support the industry’s premier
supercomputing conference at this week’s SC19, the International
Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and
Analysis.
CenturyLink and Infinera, along with other contributors from the
networking industry, academia, and government, are delivering
multi-terabit capacity to SCinet, the dedicated high-capacity
network that supports revolutionary applications and some of the
world’s most advanced supercomputing experiments at the SC19
conference. Multi-terabit capacity enables the network to more
rapidly transmit large amounts of data to meet the needs of this
supercomputing community.
CenturyLink will deliver this capacity using the Infinera Groove
G30 Compact Modular Platform running 2 x 600 gigabits per second
metro wavelengths. The deployment will connect the Colorado
Convention Center in Denver with wide-area networks in major U.S.
cities, demonstrating CenturyLink’s rapid provisioning of
100-gigabit services.
“A scalable, agile, and low-latency infrastructure plays a
critical role in addressing the demanding and ever-increasing
connectivity requirements of high-performance computing and the
global research and education community,” said Andrew Dugan, Chief
Technology Officer at CenturyLink. “Delivering terabit-scale
capacity for SCinet underscores our commitment to serving the needs
of these customers in their pursuit of academic excellence.”
This year’s SCinet leverages the CenturyLink core optical
transport network and the Infinera Groove G30, a stackable compact
modular platform, delivering terabit capacity for a broad range of
metro, regional, and long-haul connectivity applications.
CenturyLink operates a robust global 450,000-route-mile fiber
network and utilizes Infinera’s automated, high-capacity transport
solutions in its backbone network.
“We are pleased to collaborate with CenturyLink once again to
bring cutting-edge technology to support SCinet’s high-performance
network with speed, scale, and agility,” said Bob Jandro, Senior
Vice President, Worldwide Sales at Infinera.
