Southern Cross Cables Limited (\u2018Southern Cross\u2019), Australasia\u2019s specialist international capacity provider, has announced the availability of commercial 400GbE services on its Southern Cross NEXT (\u2018NEXT\u2019) cable, between Australia, New Zealand and the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laurie Miller, CEO of Southern Cross, said the introduction of what is believed to be Australasia\u2019s first international 400GbE services and the current world\u2019s longest single system data centre to data centre 400GbE services, is a game-changer for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the Southern Cross NEXT cable system, the new technology and capability has been designed to support the rising demand for bandwidth driven by cloud adoption and digitisation. We are now thrilled to be able to offer 400GbE Layer 1 services as the first of several planned innovations taking advantage of the Southern Cross ecosystem and the new NEXT cable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe availability of 400GbE services will allow customers hyperscale low-latency connectivity directly between data centres in Sydney and Los Angeles, and with a new Auckland DC PoP due for implementation in 2023. Demand for 100G+ high-capacity links has been booming in recent years particularly for data centre to data centre GCN connectivity, where extremely large and resilient volumes of data are required to traverse core network infrastructure for data replication, data storage connectivity and Disaster Recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Southern Cross\u2019 400GbE service runs on Ciena\u2019s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent optics and is managed by the Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller. To accommodate increasing and changing network traffic demands, Southern Cross\u2019 ecosystem also incorporates Ciena\u2019s 5400 and 8700 platforms, providing the ability to deploy services from 100Mbs now up to 400GbE connectivity over applicable wavelengths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
