Connecting businesses and ISPs in Texas-based Tier 1 Network Access Point (NAP) CityNAP's data center and co-location facilities in a much better manner than ever before has become part of Extreme Networks Inc's portfolio. 

CityNAP has picked Extreme Networks Ethernet infrastructure solutions, featuring its BlackDiamond 20808, BlackDiamond 8800 and Summit X350 aggregation switches to implement a fully PCI compliant environment for managed services and other client requirements.

The support for the services has been given more muscle with Extreme Networks' reliable and power efficient data center network. The infrastructure also supports CityNAP's efforts to assist companies to consolidate systems through the use of internal processes and products such as VMware. The resulting network is highly scalable, resilient, and virtualized. 

CityNAP, in its capacity as a Tier 1 Internet hub and data center facility in San Antonio, is serving as a point of convergence for multiple fiber-optic networks of carriers, providing affordable access to surrounding businesses that require reliable access for converged video, storage, and Software as a Service (SaaS), said a report.

According to Don Douglas, CityNAP President, by deploying network solutions from Extreme Networks, CityNAP provides the predictable and flexible network services that its customers expect from a top tier access point provider.

The BlackDiamond 20808 core routing switches have been deployed to perform on par with outward facing Internet routers. Featuring 2 Terabit backplane capacity and industry-leading 10 Gigabit Ethernet port density, this platform delivers the highest capacity of Ethernet switches in the market. 

This upgrade has in turn started helping organizations securely host their data or colocate their own equipment within the facility and connect to their telecommunications carrier of choice. Besides, CityNAP also offers benefits such as green-powered options relying on wind power, integration of a state-of-the-art network security and also a weather regulated environment to ensure continuous operations.
