Cal (Israel Credit Cards Ltd) has selected Ciena and its partner Telrad to build a high-capacity, low-latency private optical network connecting its new data centre in Yehud to its main facilities in Giv’atayim. The metro network uses Ciena’s 4200 Advanced Services Platform to support two 10G Ethernet and four 4G Fibre Channel connections between the data centres. Cal has leased two dark fibre links between its sites to be used as active-active links, for which Ciena’s technology provides a very low latency solution.
