Financial services provider, Geojit BNP Paribas has deployed a new networking infrastructure supplied by Brocade at its Kochi headquarters. The new network provides the firm with more than 1,100 wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet access ports, more carrying power, and a low-latency core that is both scalable and resilient for business expansion and new service offerings.

“The network is obviously the operational backbone of our business and after several years of strong growth, we were beginning to experience constraints in our existing infrastructure,” said A. Balakrishnan , CTO of Geojit BNP Paribas. “Brocade was able to offer campus and data center networking solutions which provided a scalable foundation with low-latency performance for our continued development of services delivered through Internet, mobile, call center and branch office channels.”
Geojit BNP Paribas selected Brocade’s BigIron RX-8 Ethernet switch, designed for non-stop operation, as the heart of its new network. The RX-8 provides up to 384 non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 128 10-GbE ports in a compact chassis with 1.92 Tbps of total switching capacity. This high capacity and port-density enables Geojit BNP Paribas to connect all access switches directly to the network core, reducing it total cost-of-ownership and eliminating latency caused by having an aggregation layer.
Brocade 48-port FastIron Workgroup switches have been deployed to provide network access and power-over-Ethernet within Geojit BNP Paribas’ head office and call center while 48-port Brocade FastIron LS switches are used for server connectivity within the data center. Both these platforms provide wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet performance, with FastIron LS switches to the core upgradeable to 10-GbE.
