This network empowers Sify customers with unprecedented reach and resilience in India. While seamlessly supporting converged multi-play services for a wide range of customer needs- including enterprises, carriers and consumers.
Arvind Mathur, Chief Architect, Sify, said, "Our network engineering and operations teams have done a commendable job of doubling the number of cities covered by the MPLS backbone infrastructure in just twelve months. Our network reach of over 500 cities is supported by more than 4500 access sectors to ensure adequate coverage."
Sify also implemented Cisco's CRS-1 (Carrier Routing System) in its IP Next Generation Network (NGN) Core recently.
