The Mid-Atlantic Gigapop for Internet2 (MAGPI), an Information Systems and Computing organization based at the University of Pennsylvania, has deployed Ciena’s CN 4200 FlexSelect Advanced Services Platform. The network delivers high performance connectivity among multiple research labs located at Princeton University’s Forrestal Campus and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Sciences Network 4 (ESnet4), which operates over Internet2’s nationwide infrastructure. ESnet4 provides the DOE with a dynamic and reliable communications infrastructure and leading-edge network services to foster greater scientific collaboration to support the agency’s research projects and goals.
Ciena’s CN 4200 is supporting new 10 GbE service, replacing the previous generation of 155 Mbps links. Ciena’s CN 4200 enables high-performance optical transport with rapid provisioning, no packet loss and low, deterministic latency.
