Cisco Deploys for Hrvatski Telekom d.d. an End-to-End Solution for First Phase of TeraStream Network in Croatia
ZAGREB, CROATIA, Dec 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced that Hrvatski Telekom,
Croatia's largest telecommunications company, is using Cisco's
end-to-end solution in its new TeraStream cloud-enabled Internet
Protocol (IP) architecture. Cisco is supplying the end-to-end network
solution to enable the first phase of this landmark deployment. The
first live pilot network was launched today. Operated by Deutsche
Telekom subsidiary Hrvatski Telekom (T-HT), it is already providing
advanced broadband services to residential users in the Zagreb area
of Croatia.
Cisco and Deutsche Telekom have been working together since 2011 to
develop and validate the TeraStream architecture and deliver
innovative capabilities and services. This novel and open
architecture substantially reduces network and system complexity,
improves operational efficiency, and enables exciting new IP
cloud-based telecommunications services for T-HT's customers in a
small fraction of the time typically required to provision and launch
new offerings. The TeraStream architecture transforms the way
telecommunications networks are built and operated and the way
services are delivered, providing optimization and better
monetization of carriers' network assets.
Key elements of the architecture include all-IPv6 streamlined routing
architecture; fully converged IP and optical layers with 100G
coherent technology; integrated cloud service centers, enabling
virtualized network services and applications for rapid service
innovation; programmatic interfaces aligned with the software-defined
networking (SDN) architecture for real-time automation and OSS; and
customer self-service management capabilities.
According to the most recent Cisco(R) Visual Networking Index
Forecast, global IP traffic has increased eightfold in the last five
years and will increase threefold over the next five years. With this
exploding traffic growth, combined with complex traffic patterns,
service providers are seeking networking solutions that deliver
converged IP and optical networks for agility and efficiency and to
provide bandwidth scale to interconnect cloud data centers and
connect users to services. Cisco has delivered the following
technologies in this landmark deployment:
-- Advanced IP and optical networking. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers provide the initial foundation of the
TeraStream routing infrastructure, connecting end customers to
services over 100 Gbps integrated optical links. Cisco is the industry
leader in integrating routing and optical technologies, enabling
Deutsche Telekom and other service providers to build and operate
networks that are simpler and more cost-effective to operate, and
accelerate delivery of new services.
-- End-to-end IPv6. Cisco's IPv6 leadership enables the TeraStream vision
of all-IPv6 networking, with innovative Softwire technology, allowing
customers to continue to access existing IPv4 Internet and services.
-- Cloud service center. TeraStream integrates cloud computing resources
and application virtualization into the network, enabling
unprecedented speed and agility for new service deployment. Cisco is
providing the initial data center foundation as a first step towards
achieving Deutsche Telekom's Infrastructure Cloud goals. The solution
is based on the Cisco Unified Computing System(TM) (Cisco
UCS(R)), orchestrated with the recently launched Cisco OpenStack
Edition based on emerging industry standards.
-- Home gateway. The dual-band Linksys(R) Smart Wi-Fi Router N900
(EA4500) has been tailored to Deutsche Telekom's TeraStream
requirements, providing a first home gateway solution with wireless
speeds up to 450 Mbps. The home router allows for IPv4 and IPv6
wireless home networking and high speed access to Deutsche Telekom
services and the Internet.
-- End-to-end service and network management. Cisco's Agile Business
Architecture (ABA) is the initial operation support system for
TeraStream.
-- Customer Portal. Cisco's network management technology group created
an innovative customer sign-on and self-service portal specifically
for the TeraStream trial. Based on the TeraStream IPv6 based
addressing schema, the network acts as the inventory source for
service creation and leads to improved consistency and less
synchronization between different inventories in the IT.
-- Turn-key Solution Delivery. Cisco Advanced Services, with its local
Gold Certified Partner Combis, 100% owned by T-HT, delivers this
project as a turn-key solution to Deutsche Telekom subsidiary Hrvatski
Telekom (T-HT).

-- Surya Panditi, senior vice president and general manager, Service
Provider Networking Group, Cisco
"Amid the ongoing convergence of technologies for the next-generation
Internet, Cisco sees a unique opportunity to combine the best
elements from optical, routing and cloud domains to enable service
providers to more efficiently and quickly capture market
opportunities. By using a wide range of innovative, programmable, and
elastic Cisco solutions, service providers can optimize service
delivery in entirely new ways while both growing their businesses and
delivering new network experiences to their customers. TeraStream
represents the service provider network of the future and is well
aligned with Cisco's vision. Cisco is honored to partner so closely
with Deutsche Telekom on such a significant program."
