The challenge was to provide a scalable network infrastructure to support the demanding bandwidth requirements of evolving applications and provide a flexible network infrastructure supporting multiple service types including voice, video, data, and storage applications. The company deployed a highly redundant, scalable, and flexible managed optical service from SBC using the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP.
