This new connectivity will enable Crawford Media Services to rapidly transport enormous amounts of audio and video data with clients on a national and international scale. ADVA Optical Networking’s services team worked closely with Crawford Media Services on each step of the network, helping to plan, build and activate it over a very short period of time. It’s this close interworking, rapid response and in-depth knowledge of data center connectivity that has made this relationship such a success.

“When you work in a creative industry you’re constantly seeking creative solutions, creative partners. Your success often depends upon it,” said Whitney Marrow, director of engineering, Crawford Media Services. “That’s why we value our relationship with the team at ADVA Optical Networking.

With over 15,000 enterprise customers, ADVA Optical Networking has an enviable reputation within the data center and storage area networking environment. Its team’s experience at building some of the world’s most mission-critical networks helped to assure Crawford Media Services that it had chosen the right partner. During the design and development phase, both teams spent time at ADVA Optical Networking’s Atlanta campus, using its lab facilities to showcase the equipment and replicate the network environment that Crawford Media Services would be using. From this firm base, the equipment was deployed and the live network turned on. To ensure any issues are rapidly resolved, Crawford Media Services has subscribed to ADVA Optical Networking’s maintenance and training packages.
