Dailymotion has boosted its capacity between important data centers with 200 Gbps (gigabits per second) fiber-optic transport equipment from Ekinops. With more than 300 million monthly visitors watching some three billion videos, Dailymotion needed to interconnect the two Paris-area data centers with a high-capacity redundant link and also needed to upgrade that link in a short timeframe. To meet these needs, Dailymotion turned to Ekinops. Dailymotion selected Ekinops in late October 2016 and the new link went live in early December. Ekinops deployed its 200G muxponders, allowing up to 8 Tbps (terabits per second) transmission between the two locations. The new Ekinops equipment replaced 10 Gbps equipment that simply could no longer scale to meet Dailymotion’s needs.
