Dell EMC Networking Chosen for Eurofiber's DCspine to Enable IT Transformation

Full story

Dell EMC Networking is helping Eurofiber provide a new method for data center interconnectivity as customers transform IT environments using cloud-oriented operations.

Eurofiber Group was founded in 2000 to create an intelligent, future-proof infrastructure, and has expanded ever since. At this moment, the network of almost 30,000 kilometers of fiber-optic cable and secure data centers covers the Netherlands and Belgium and stretches into Germany.

Built upon Dell EMC Networking Z9100-ON open switches running Cumulus Linux, the Eurofiber DCspine delivers a fully-automated, scalable, high capacity data center interconnection platform based on the latest software defined network developments. DCspine helps customers connect to cloud services on demand.

Emerging cloud-based services create a new technology ecosystem of interconnected data centers, networks and service providers offering new approaches to help customers to take full advantage of the cloud. With this architectural shift, data center interconnection services need to be faster, more scalable, agile and flexible than current offerings. 

"We developed DCspine to capitalize on the need for flexible datacenter connectivity required for cloud services," said Bart Oskam, CTO of the Eurofiber Group. "Dell EMC enables DCspine to fully benefit from the advantages of software-defined networking building a future proof connectivity platform"

"Eurofiber is breaking new ground with its DCspine initiative, creating a digital meet-point for enterprise customers and cloud resources through a new and innovative on-demand service offering," said Tom Burns, senior vice president, Dell EMC Networking, Enterprise Infrastructure & Service Provider Solutions. "We're excited to be working with Eurofiber, providing the Open Networking foundation for the DCspine initiative and turning this vision of transformation into reality."

DCspine makes it as easy to cross-connect between data centers as if they were within a single location. DCspine offers online services for enterprise and cloud service providers operating from data centers. DCspine is available 24/7 via its portal with the flexibility to change or delete services at any time.
