From its Melbourne headquarters, Advent One has established a carrier-grade IP network core with the Brocade MLXe-16 switch/router to deliver a managed cloud environment capable of managing rich applications, including Software-as-a Service (SaaS) offerings.

“We needed to architect a network that could scale for the mid to large enterprise customer, as well as deliver any mix of cloud environment that the customer required. This was an entirely new network build, and it was very clear that we needed a carrier-grade switch that could meet our total-cost-of-ownership requirements. The core switch is the most important piece of network infrastructure so it has to be robust, with a high level of system redundancy. We were satisfied that the Brocade MLXe-16 could meet our continuity of service requirements and its ease of deployment, performance, and ability to scale have reinforced the fact that Brocade has the functionality we need,” said Graeme Clark, managing director of Advent One Pty Ltd.

Advent One has added new services such as virtual private networking, IP telephony, and virtual desktops to its offering.

“With mid-sized customers under pressure on headcount and resources, there is a growing trend to hand off day-to-day provisioning of IT infrastructure and offload workloads to the cloud. In these circumstances it is important to protect client relationships by meeting their new needs. The incorporation of our highly skilled Consultancy division means we’re well positioned to develop and deploy cloud solutions for clients, taking the best from public and private cloud models,” added Clark.
