China’s Railways to Adopts Nortel Application Switches

China’s Ministry of Railways (MOR) has announced that it is deploying Nortel Application Switches to its computerized ticketing and reservation system.

MOR said its bureaus in major cities of Zhengzhou, Shanghai, Harbin Xi’an and Lanzhou are using Nortel’s solution to improve the speed and reliability of the ticketing and reservation process, helping reduce queuing times at ticket windows and vending machines, particularly during rush hours, holidays and other peak travel periods.

Bao Shenghua, Zhengzhou Railway said, "With the support of the Nortel solution, we easily handled the huge number of extra tickets required to serve customers during the high-volume 2006 Chinese New Year and May Day holidays."

Nortel Application Switches enable application optimization, delivery and high availability through the use of sophisticated application and device load balancing, intelligent traffic management, application redirection, application-layer security, security acceleration and bandwidth management.

The Application Switches also ensure fail-safe business continuity by eliminating single points of failure in a network, as well as provide inherent multi-layer security features to protect against external and internal security threats without sacrificing network and application performance.
