Securing increased capacity with a simpler architecture

Bandwidth usage is increasing rapidly for ICPs and internet exchanges. This demands cost-efficient ways of securing increased capacity and redundancy. New technologies show great promise but flexibility is needed to combine the best network elements. Increasing cost pressures demand smaller, simpler architectures that do not compromise on latency or availability.

Cut out transponder-heavy solutions and go for a simpler and more cost-efficient embedded DWDM approach. Interoperable and embeddable open line systems allow you to mix and match best-of-breed routers and switches. Run several short and mid-range 100G connections. Future-proof your network with scalable 400G-enabled solutions. Reduce complexity and costs with a small footprint, automation and low power consumption.

Solution Brief

Introducing 400G Pluggable DWDM

What was once state of the art data rates for optical links in metro networks and between data centers is now superseded by the even higher rate of 400G DWDM.

An accelerating interest in cloud computing, video streaming and data-replication between sites drives the need for more bandwidth in corporate data centers and networks. In a similar way, growing media consumption and consumer demands for a richer internet experience requires increased broadband communications capacity in service provider networks.
