As the telecommunications industry evolves, one aspect remains consistent: the need to deliver reliable, safe, quality communications to millions of people at all times, regardless of environmental conditions.
IBM understands the critical importance of reliability for central office-based servers and storage systems. We offer server and storage technology that complies with Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) specifications. This technology is designed to provide availability of communications under normal and extreme conditions.
Featured products
Our NEBS portfolio supports the stringent next-generation network (NGN) for scalability, reliability and high performance using open standards-based architectures that support interoperability, investment protection and deployment flexibility.
