HONG KONG, Aug 16, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - After maintaining the
highest product scores for High-Capacity Network and Low-Latency
Network in Asia Pacific, two of the four use cases in the July 2016
Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for Network Services,
Asia/Pacific, Telstra has announced further investment to expand
its global network.
"High-capacity networks are increasingly critical in Asia as
businesses digitise themselves and also provide content and
applications to an ever-growing and demanding Asia Pacific consumer
base," said Martijn Blanken, Telstra's Group Managing Director
Global Enterprise and Services.
"We are pleased with this recognition from Gartner and are
committed to investing in our network to further reinforce our
network leadership," said Mr Blanken.
"We are opening up services on the Bay of Bengal Gateway and FASTER
cables and we have now extended our high-capacity network by
launching new points of presence in Hawaii, Seattle and the United
Arab Emirates. We have also enhanced the access proposition for our
VPN offering, giving customers greater flexibility in the way they
send network traffic between virtual networks and on-premises
locations," said Mr Blanken.
Gartner's annual Critical Capabilities report reviews the regional
network services offerings in each market, with the Asia-Pacific
report evaluating the 13 providers in the region across key use
cases or capabilities.
Gartner reports the needs of multinational corporations "operating
in the Asia/Pacific are evolving with changing trends. While the
majority typically requires regional connectivity to all the major
markets, very large MNCs now require deep domestic connectivity in
emerging markets, such as China and India, where they have large or
rapidly expanding operations.
"Software and media and content companies also require huge
bandwidth for software and content distribution over the internet
to the very large and fast-growing consumer market in Asia/Pacific.
The banking and finance sector is increasingly looking at
high-capacity and low-latency services for delay-sensitive
applications, in particular for high-speed financial trading."
"Low-latency networks are vital for the banking and finance sector.
With our high-capacity, low-latency Ethernet Private Line Express
service we already provide some of the fastest point to point
routes available between trading centres in Sydney, Singapore, Hong
Kong and Tokyo. We have now introduced new points of presence in
London and Chicago, to enhance the options for ultra high speed
movement of data into and out of the region," said Mr Blanken.
