DCI DWDM Platforms (Product Brochure)
Data Center Interconnect (DCI) is crucial for linking data centers across various distances, ensuring high-speed, efficient connectivity for data sharing, backup, and load balancing. As data center traffic surges due to big data and cloud expansion, DCI technologies play a pivotal role in maintaining robust, scalable, and high-performance networks.
Key Challenges in Modern DCI:
- Ultra-High Bandwidth: Supports 10G to 400G links over distances from 10 to 1000 km using dense DWDM and coherent transmission for Metro and Long-Haul applications.
- Diverse Client Types and Rates: Requires flexible rates and efficient aggregation from 10G to 400G, accommodating various services like Ethernet and Fiber Channel.
- Real-Time Access: Demands low latency, robust fault isolation, and alignment with traditional OA&M standards.
- Data Security: Ensures encryption of data during transit between data centers.
- SDN Management and Automation: Needs SDN-aware transport, open APIs, and topology discovery.
- Geographic Flexibility: Requires adaptable deployment options, including leased lines and dark fiber.
- Cost Efficiency: Focuses on low power consumption per bit and high bandwidth per rack unit.
Innovations in DCI Hardware:
- “DCI Box”: A compact, self-contained system replacing traditional OTS chassis, offering smaller size and lower power consumption.
- Pluggable Optics: New 400G DWDM pluggable optics integrate directly into routers and switches, further reducing hardware footprint and cost.
Optical DCI, driven by advanced DWDM and amplifier technologies, provides high-density, efficient layer-1 connectivity between geographically dispersed locations, meeting the demanding needs of modern cloud and data center environments.
