TelCables South Africa, which offers a range of secure connectivity solutions to the Southern African market, says it has upgraded its backbone network infrastructure to accommodate the rapidly growing data traffic across its network and to provide faster, more secure connectivity. This is on the back of the recently established Durban PoP, located at the Teraco Riverhorse DB1 data centre in Durban. Overall, says TelCables, the upgraded network will now give customers 100GE capabilities when routing via data centres Teraco JB1 in Johannesburg, Teraco CT1 in Cape Town and Teraco DB1. This means that network providers and other operators will be able to further expand their networks, increase their customer base and reconfigure traffic flows as and when required without disrupting network traffic or incurring multiple cross-connect fees. Naidu says: “The upgrades will ensure that we can accommodate more traffic from both existing and new cables and offer better, more flexible options for the transit of IP traffic across the continent and to other parts of the world.”
