Our client, a data centre hyperscaler operating across the Americas, was tasked with managing large-volume data traffic across multiple, geographically diverse data centres. Due to a global surge in high-definition video content and advanced mobile device usage, the strain on their network infrastructure was only increasing.

Any solution to this problem had a very specific requirement: reliable, high-capacity and secure data center interconnects to serve as the critical backbone for global cloud connectivity. Additionally, all links had to move at the speed of the business, not the speed encryption usually allows.

This delivers line-rate data protection without compromising throughput, latency or availability; the three things a hyperscaler can least afford to trade away for security.

Because the CN9120 encrypts traffic at the hardware level, protection was added without becoming a bottleneck in the network’s global backbone. This gave the client 100G security with ultra-low latency and the uninterrupted uptime its cloud connectivity depends on.
