Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL), country's largest internet service provider (ISP), has placed an order with Alcatel for supply and installation of remote access servers (RAS) to expand its presence in 22 locations across the country. The Alcatel 7410 remote access server will be used to create points of presence for VSNL, an Alcatel statement said on Wednesday.
These servers can support a wide variety of subscribers, enabling carriers and service providers to flexibly offer quality of access, it said. "RAS is designed to meet demands of growing customer base by providing an advanced distributed forwarding architecture and a high level of systems integration", the statement added.
Michel Vatil, managing director of Alcatel India, said VSNL was an extensive user of Alcatel data communication equipment. Bureau Report
