NEW DELHI, India, Jan. 12, 2012 – Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today announced that it has supplied fast-growing LANCO Infratech Ltd (BSE: 532778, NSE: LITL) with a complete campus and data center network infrastructure for the new head office of its Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) Division in Gurgaon. By deploying the Juniper Networks Simply Connected portfolio, which includes switching, wireless LAN, security and management devices, LANCO EPC can improve business performance with a new high-performance, highly secure, reliable and manageable network.
LANCO EPC has built a strong reputation for executing large projects, particularly in the power sector, with a “concept to commissioning” model that considers time, cost and quality parameters. LANCO Infratech itself is one of India’s largest independent power producers, with 3,892 megawatts installed generating capacity which it aims to increase to 15,000 megawatts by 2015.
News Highlights
- The new LANCO EPC Head Office can accommodate up to 2,000 staff and a Data Center that supports SAP enterprise management systems, resource-intensive heavy construction design applications and unified communications.
- Juniper Networks® EX8208 Ethernet Switches form a highly resilient network core, with a high-density of non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10GbE ports enabling direct attachment of servers and access switches, resulting in very low network latency.
