SoftLayer Technologies on Tuesday announced that the company has completed upgrading the edge network routers across its wide area network (WAN). SoftLayer’s networking team installed Juniper Networks MX 3D Universal Edge Routers to all facilities and network points-of-presence. The newly implemented routers increase the company’s routing footprint by 400 percent adding four times the port capacity.
“Providing the best network performance and reliability is essential to our goal of giving customers the highest level of control over their infrastructure,” said Will Charnock, Vice President of Network Engineering for SoftLayer. “SoftLayer’s existing backbone routers were beginning to approach capacity. But rather than simply meeting those challenges, these upgrades boost performance, decrease latency, and give us capacity that will meet the demands of our growing customer base well into the future.”
