WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FiberZone Networks, the leading provider of Automated Fiber Management (AFM) solutions for data centers and networks, announced today a major customer win providing fiber automation for CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. CERN, pioneer of many global scientific breakthroughs and operator of the Large Hadron Collider, will use FiberZone's AFM to test and certify new equipment before deployment to CERN facilities.
"FiberZone made a concerted effort to design a capable solution to switch connections efficiently across different equipment of various port speeds and protocol types," said Edoardo Martelli, CERN Communication Systems Expert.
"We are proud to deploy our Automated Fiber Management solution at CERN," said Yosi Lahad, CEO of FiberZone Networks, "The CERN implementation is a significant example of how an organization can 'future proof' their fiber switch capabilities and achieve cost-saving scalability."
Eric Hanselman, Director of the networking practice at The 451 Group, commented, "Automation offers significant cost savings and increases service flexibility and FiberZone's AFM combines interconnect automation and wavelength independence to create a unique opportunity to take advantage of these benefits."
