"We selected ADVA Optical Networking's FSP 3000 ([ http://www.advaoptical.com/default.aspx?id=462&utm_source=prweb&utm_medium=onlinepr&pi_campaign_id=9183&utm_campaign=100615SingTel ]) as one of our platforms for this critical, fast-growing service because of its ability to support ultra-low latency ([ http://www.advaoptical.com/default.aspx?id=1556&utm_source=prweb&utm_medium=onlinepr&pi_campaign_id=9183&utm_campaign=100615SingTel ]) and its single- fiber working technology," stated Lim Ming Kiat, Director of Data Network and Hosting Engineering at SingTel. "We offer our customers some of the industry's most rigorous Service Level Agreements (SLAs); our network must therefore deliver the most advanced connectivity services that consistently perform at the highest levels."

The FSP 3000 supports a range of data center protocols, including multiple Fibre Channel line speeds, 10Gigabit Ethernet, FICON, ESCON and others, and has been qualified interoperable with most of the industry's major storage solution vendors.
"SingTel has a reputation for delivering the best services available, and so the company naturally sought to deploy a versatile high-capacity backbone for its GWL solution," confirmed Lucas Hsu, ADVA Optical Networking's president for Asia-Pacific. "In a tough competition with other world-class vendors, ADVA Optical Networking's long and successful history with enterprise solutions proved its ability to enable one of the region's strongest managed enterprise services networks.
