Hub Site Upgrades
Hub Site Upgrades
Replace and update the distribution layer devices on the network. More dense hub sites will receive new devices capable of 100/400 Gig. Less dense sites will receive new devices capable of Nx100 Gig.
Program Overview
- Higher capacity devices with faster port speeds
- Advanced feature sets including MACSEC on all ports for increased security
- Increased telemetry for advanced visibility
- Support for Next Gen network technologies like EVPN and segment routing
- Better troubleshooting capabilities through inline packet capture capabilities
- Reduce space required in our collocation facilities
- Reduced power consumption for a greener footprint
Features
- Replacing/refreshing existing hardware that is end of life
- Rehoming all member backbones to the new devices
- Redesigning our interconnect to the PSDN
- Greater route scale for member L3 VPNs
- Greater MAC scale and faster convergence times for L2 VPN service
- MACSEC for point to point encryption across the network
- Advanced flow aware transport (FAT) for load balancing across links
- Improved mean time to repair (MTTR) through real time analytics with telemetry
