Ottawa, Canada—Avaya engineers are putting the final touches on a network capable of handling up to 54 terabytes per second of traffic when the Winter Olympics opens on February 7 in the Russian city of Sochi.

Sochi itself is a sprawling city of 350,000 people located on the Black Sea. Archeologists have found human remains in the area that date back tens of thousands of years. Today, Sochi's subtropical climate makes it a popular Russian tourist spot.

The two locations where the Olympics will take place—the Olympic village in Sochi and a tight cluster of Alpine venues in the nearby Krasnaya Polyana Mountains—are completely new construction, so this project represents a greenfield environment for Avaya.

The Avaya network will be run at a primary Technical Operations Center in the coastal city of Adler, while the secondary TOC and Data Center will be at the Sochi Olympic Park.
