Scalable, Secure, Programmable – Cloud Connectivity for the FutureADVA
This document discusses cloud connectivity solutions for the future. It covers how scalability, security, and programmability are key to connecting data centers and cloud services. Scalable optical networks can provide huge bandwidth capacity. Security involves multi-layer defenses including encryption. Programmability allows virtualization and software-defined networking to automate resource allocation. These technologies enable cost-effective, long-distance connectivity between data centers for cloud services.
In this OFC presentation, Niall Robinson reviewed the current status of white box technology and explored the future of this exciting space. He also looked at the most recent activity of the Open Optical and Packet Transport Project, the design of the Voyager solution and at where this fast-moving networking industry initiative is headed.
Our APRICOT 2019 presentation delivered by Rocky Zhou explored the optical technologies that are driving the transformation in metro networking. Open line systems are supporting best-in-class equipment deployment and optimized ROADM solutions are enabling deployment simplicity, space and power efficiency, and low first-in-cost. What's more, next-gen coherent solutions are revolutionizing metro capacity-reach options, delivering significant cost savings and service flexibility.
Evolution of high-speed interfaces in disaggregated open networksADVA
Many see full network disaggregation as the ultimate tool to increase flexibility and free operators from dependence on vendors. But partial disaggregation can also go a long way to reducing effort and cost.
At March 2018's Netnod meeting, Stephan Neidlinger showed how high-speed interfaces and higher-order modulation need to be supported by open optical line systems, and outlined how multi-layer and multi-vendor orchestration and management are key.

This document discusses how network virtualization through NFV (network functions virtualization) can benefit rural broadband providers. NFV allows software-based virtual network functions (VNFs) to replace expensive proprietary hardware, reducing costs through operational efficiencies. It provides rural providers flexibility to innovate, quickly launch new revenue-generating services, and customize the end-user experience. NFV also offers a pay-as-you-grow model through software licensing that minimizes upfront investment risks. The document argues NFV can help rural providers compete through lower prices, while gaining agility to adapt networks as needs change over time.

Revolutionary Approach to Cell Site ActivationADVA
Spirent and ADVA propose a revolutionary approach to cell site activation using network functions virtualization (NFV). Their solution involves:
1. Using Spirent Landslide EDGE and ADVA Syncjack and Etherjack to automate pre-activation testing of the radio base station, backhaul connectivity performance, and synchronization quality.
2. Deploying their solutions as virtual network functions (VNFs) on an ADVA FSP 150 ProVM NFV device for fully automated cell site activation and in-service monitoring from a single box.
3. This reduces costs by eliminating additional test equipment and speeds up activation through automated testing of all network parameters.
Our ADVA FSP 150-GE110Pro Series is a unique multi-layer service demarcation solution that has been specifically engineered to enable network operators to smoothly introduce NFV-based services. This new technology is built around openness, security and service assurance - critical components for NFV-optimized Network Interface Devices (NIDs).
Maximizing the efficiency of dwdm networks 100 gbs and beyondAnuj Malik
TIA 2012 Presentation
100G is here. We are at the cusp of a step upgrade in network fiber bandwidth from hundreds of gigabits to several terabits, an order of magnitude increase in capacity. So far, the 100G discussion has primarily been focused on optics and coherent detection i.e. the fundamental building blocks of 100G. This is akin to figuring out the “how to” of internal combustion – what must be determined now is the “engine block” that wraps around the technology to enable rapid and successful adoption.
We explore the mechanisms that can deliver 100G to your networks efficiently. Why? Because to successfully bring down the total cost of ownership any solution must address not just maximizing fiber investment but also lowering CAPEX and OPEX. We look at various mechanisms with a perspective towards 100G that affect efficiency of space, power and network utilization.

Routed Optical Networking by Shahnaz Mohamad, CiscoMyNOG
Shahnaz Mohammad from Cisco Systems discusses the need for routed optical networking as the future of networks. Current networks are complex with layered architectures, but routed optical networking converges infrastructure into a single mass-scale architecture. This simplifies networks and makes them more resilient, sustainable, observable, programmable, automated and intelligent in handling different traffic classes. Routed optical networking uses high-speed 400G and beyond links with coherent optics and segment routing to simplify scaling while meeting demands like low latency, edge computing and 5G. It removes complexity compared to current multi-layer networks and optimizes costs. The potential benefits of routed optical networking include up to 56% lower operating expenses and 45% lower total cost of ownership

The document provides an overview of Cisco's evolving campus switching portfolio. It discusses increasing demands on campus networks including mobility, internet of things, and workspace flexibility. Cisco's campus blueprint addresses these demands through scalability, security, simplicity, resiliency and visibility. The portfolio includes the Catalyst 3850 series for access with multigigabit ports, the Catalyst 4500E/6500 series for aggregation/distribution, and modular Catalyst 6800 series for the core. The document highlights several new products, including the Catalyst 3850 10G fiber switch with 40G uplinks and the compact Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX switches.
The insatiable desire for more capacity and faster datarate arising from the explosion in bandwidth-intense applications necessitates deployment of higher capacity WDM systems in both inside datacenter and metro datacenter interconnects systems. This demand for higher datarates is reflected by the numerous standardization and study groups commenced in the last couple of years. While the standardization scrutinizes the requirements for smooth migration for a datacenter interconnect with distances of upto 40km, the upgrade to high capacity DC metro access networks (beyond 40km), where no standardization exists, needs to address the economic viability together with greater space, power and bandwidth efficiency requirements. This presentation focuses on both of these areas and elucidates the current trends and evolving technologies to deal with the dynamically shifting landscape of DCI.
The document discusses network-on-chip (NoC) technology. NoC uses a packet switched network approach to connect intellectual property cores on a chip. It provides advantages over traditional bus-based interconnects like higher bandwidth, energy efficiency, and scalability. NoCs operate using a layered approach with physical, transport, and transaction layers. Common routing algorithms for NoCs include dimension order routing, XY routing, fully adaptive routing, and minimal adaptive routing. NoCs allow for modular and reconfigurable integration of IP cores from different vendors.

2. The front panel capacity challenge
Data centre interconnect (DCI) platforms are compact, stackable optical transport
platforms that deliver terabits of capacity
• High-speed 100G client interfaces are used to deliver the traffic needed to feed the DCI platform’s
expensive line-side ports
• ADVA Optical Networking’s CloudConnect DCI platform uses QuadFlex cards, each 0.5 rack unit high
with 400G of line-side optics
The challenge: How do you support legacy 10G and 40G client interfaces without
using valuable front-panel ports that reduce the overall traffic fed to the platform?
