Gain a competitive edge with SmartNet

We re-engineered legacy networking infrastructure to build a network for new-age digital
experience — one that requires 100% uptime, shortest latency, complete transparency and control in your hands.

Legacy Network Design

~ 90% of long-haul fiber routes are underground fiber prone to frequent flaps & fiber cuts

Non-linear ring-based architecture with multiple add-drop locations leading to high latency

Designed for wireless/B2C market segment and not for extreme availability and reliability required by enterprise users

PoPs in telco’s site leading to reliability/availability issues

Multiple vendors and legacy hardware leading to operational complexity

Legacy network with limited or no programmability

Lightstorm NextGen Network Design

~ 90% of long-haul fiber routes on OPGW/utility infrastructure for zero flaps and greater resilience

Spine-leaf architecture in metro layer and point-to-point linear long-haul/metro express network architecture ensure improved latency as no add-drop sites between source and destination

All long-haul/metro PoP are located within Tier-3/4 DC with high availability design

Single hardware across metro/long-haul network providing greater operational efficiency

Network is software-defined by foundation for greater agility, scalability and flexibility
