New Partnership with Infinera
We are proud to be showcasing the new Cloud Express product from Infinera at Data Center World on 11th / 12th March, specifically aimed at the Ethernet backhaul / connectivity between data centres.
Employing the same unique photonic integration technology that also powers Infinera’s market leading transmission and mesh switching solutions to maximise on bandwidth, power saving and rack space, the Cloud Express is ideally placed to provide effecient transport of 10G, 40G and 100G traffic.
A common user interface simplifies installation and the option of Infinera’s “Instant Bandwidth” licensing scheme can significantly reduce the initial capex investment required to deploy this high capacity and low latency stackable platform.
Make a date to come and see us at DC World and we’ll look forward to meeting you on stand G68A

CSR Rating – GOLD!
EcoVadis is an independant organisation which assesses the business practices of companies for sustainability and social responsibility, they score performance against 4 criteria:
- Environment (Green initiatives, recycling etc)
- Labour Practices (anti-discrimination policies, fair play etc)
- Fair Business Practices (anti-bribery policies, ban on anti-competitive practices etc)
- Sustainable procurement (ensuring supplier source products from sustainable sources & minimise waste etc)
Our assessment can be viewed by our suppliers to see how sustainable our business systems are. You can trust the score as it is independent & impartial.
We have just been assessed for 2015 and have been awarded their GOLD rating, which puts us in the top 5% of the companies that they survey.
When we were assessed in 2013, we were given a silver rating. Since then, we have:
- Adopted an electric / hybrid vehicle policy to reduce emissions
- Become a Living Wage Employer
- Signed the UN Global Compact for universal fair business principles
These have helped us to do better this year.
Data Centre North Exhibition
Fibre Technologies Ltd (FTL) will be exhibiting at Data Centres North, we will be
showcasing a number of products to include Inferna’s Beauty box, FST Biometrics and
Facial Recogntion.
Please come along and see us at stand B26 We look forward to seeing you all.
Arcutronix
MEF certification
Dr. Zegenhagen passed his certification at EANTC
Dr. Stefan Zegenhagen, director of development for Carrier Ethernet products at arcutronix GmbH, has passed the official examination of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) for “Carrier Ethernet Professional 2.0” at EANTC in Berlin. The successful testing and the passed certificate confirm that Dr. Zegenhagen is familiar with the requirements and services of Carrier Ethernet 2.0. He will transfer his knowledge into the team and adapt the upcoming products from arcutronix to the requirements of MEF.
The certification program of the MEF for the latest version of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 was introduced in 2012. The new CE 2.0 certification program for services and equipment complements the presentation of the new version of Carrier Ethernet with eight new services. CE 2.0 brings over the previous version, significant improvements through the alignment of the MEF services to the needs of companies with respect to the application performance by specific service level agreements. The CE 2.0 certification was developed to bring the benefits for users, service providers and equipment manufacturers available more quickly – with higher quality and lower costs.
CE 2.0 supports multiple classes of service and management across interconnected provider networks across. CE 1.0 only standardized services through a dedicated network. E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree and the new e-access service are now both port-based as well as a virtual service certifiable. The MEF 9 and MEF recognized retained 14 certifications.
Andreas Zimmermann, CTO of arcutronix, is pleased with the successful certification. “Especially the short time it took to achieve certification according MEF2.0 shows that arcutronix has worked and developed previously at a high level. The learned requirements will help us to improve our products to serve our clients at the highest level. “
Keeping up with Data Centre Interconnect
INFINERA | INTERVIEW
Keeping up with Data Centre Interconnect
Stu Elby, senior vice president of cloud network strategy and technology at Infinera, discusses the growing demand for inter-data centre traffic and the efficient solutions which should respond to this challenge.
TUESDAY 03 March, 2015
“…In the early days of cloud, the same equipment was used for both Data Centre Interconnect and end-user traffic. However, with the rise of social media and machine-to-machine communication, bandwidth requirements across DCI have taken off and require a new class of equipment.
With this shift in speed and demand for terabits, operators cannot provide a solution that chews up half a rack of equipment and requires a kilowatt of power – that model simply would not fit into a data centre real estate or energy profile…
At Infinera we have attacked this challenge by applying our photonic integrated circuit technology which allows us to achieve very efficient power and space profiles – the purpose-built Cloud Xpress box…”
