The most straightforward way to connect 100G traffic is by using standard transceivers and there is a wide range of cables and transceivers suitable for this. To offer cost-optimized solutions for connecting switches together in a rack or data center, E...

For data centers, there’s an evolving need to increase the bandwidth over networks without needing to install more cable. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has become the solution of choice for transporting large amounts of data efficiently...

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has long been the technology of choice for transporting large amounts of data between sites. The main advantage is that it increases bandwidth by allowing different data streams to be sent simultaneously ove...

Today the most common way of connecting 100G Ethernet switches between sites is over dark fiber. Increasingly, enterprises want to manage their own data and fiber networks, especially between their own data centers.

Corporate data centers, campus networks and all enterprises have to deal with the ever growing demand for bandwidth-hungry services and applications. These requirements continue to grow and so must the data replication strategy , resulting in a headache...

For companies with access to a dark fiber network, embedded xWDM is a simple and efficient method of transporting multiple storage and data services between sites. It has the simplicity of a single channel extended longwave laser (ELWL) approach but is...

“Passive.” It can sound negative. Powerless. But when it refers to optical CWDM and DWDM optical networking it’s anything but. Passive indicates there are no powered parts inside. As opposed to an active system that has a powered element like a power su...

Today’s network manager has to decide how much data to store on the cloud and how much they need to keep in house. They usually feel more secure when their mission-critical data is kept under their own control.
