HOSTECH GLOBAL INCREASES NETWORK CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE WITH FORCE10 NETWORKS TERASCALE E-SERIES
MILPITAS, Calif., July 18, 2005 — Force10 Networks today announced that Hostech Global, Korea's largest server hosting provider, has deployed the TeraScale E-Series to expand capacity and scalability at the core of its network. Hostech is leveraging the high density and resiliency of the TeraScale E-Series to connect 10,000 servers and deliver services to more than 2,500 customers.
"Our customers rely on our network to store their business critical applications and data and require consistent, reliable access to those applications," said Dong-Geun Lim, senior manager of systems operations at Hostech Global. "The Force10 switch/routers bring us the extremely high density that allows us to connect 10,000 servers without overly complicating our network and the resiliency we need to guarantee superior service delivery."
With servers that are increasingly more powerful, Hostech needed to increase both the capacity of its network as well as the reliability to maintain its competitive advantage. With the TeraScale E300, Hostech added a high level of resiliency to its network, guaranteeing reliable access to its customers. Additionally, the combination Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality in the Force10 TeraScale E300 enabled Hostech to collapse its distribution and aggregation layers into a single layer, simplifying the network architecture and management.
"Hostech Global has become the largest hosting provider in Korea by deploying the industry's most advanced technologies, ensuring that it always provides added value to its customers," said Mark Cooper, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Force10 Networks. "The Force10 TeraScale E-Series delivers the ideal combination of density, resiliency and scalability for large server environments that demand predictable performance."
Force10's TeraScale E-Series leads the industry in density, performance and resiliency. The TeraScale E-Series supports 1,260 Gigabit and 56 line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single chassis and can process one billion packets per second, the highest in the industry. The high density, combined with built-in redundancy, ensures predictable performance regardless of traffic conditions.
