Meriton Networks AON - Meriton's Agile Optical Networking

Enterprises

Storage Area Networking (SAN) and support of Web services are two of the major reasons why Fortune 1000 companies are seeking new solutions for high-capacity networks. With many carriers forcing long-duration service contracts for dedicated builds, many large enterprises are looking to build their own high-speed networks.

With next-generation optical networking solutions, enterprises can deploy services via a dynamic network with simplified engineering. While CAPEX is unquestionably important, the real key to achieving bottom-line profitability today is OPEX.

The Meriton Network Agile Optical Networking (AON) solution provides Enterprises a flexible set of transport products and technologies to build today’s multi-mission critical networks by enabling:

  • Delivery of high-speed metro services such as Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, SANs, wavelengths and more
  • Performance Monitoring so that operators have full network visibility and can meet the demanding requirements of their internal customers
  • Future-proofs the network for protocols, data rates, interfaces and standards that are yet to be solidified.

The Meriton solution is ideal for large enterprise customers, such as financial services companies:

  • Cost-effective Agile Optical Networking solution – Only Meriton offers a single solution for delivering high-speed metro services … from the access layer through to the metro core and beyond. With service interface cards for Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH and SAN protocols, enterprises can transform their existing infrastructure into a truly cost-effective, carrier-grade delivery system for high-speed metro services
  • The industry's only end-to-end managed Agile Optical Networking solution – The Meriton architecture includes access products that provide the on-ramp to high-speed services as well as metro core and metro regional products that network together to provide a true end-to-end system
  • Greater flexibility through multiple topology support – Meriton's HSM Architecture supports the migration from rings to meshes. Enterprises have the ability to build capacity where it is needed and to grow the network incrementally
  • Intermix CWDM and DWDM – Meriton Networks is the only vendor with a platform that supports CWDM and DWDM simultaneously in a single network element. Enterprises can realize cost savings with CWDM on lower density segments, and are assured a scalable path in the future with DWDM
  • Simplified Engineering – Meriton eliminates the traditional complexities of OADM ring/band engineering. The Meriton 9500 Network Planning Tool allows engineers to quickly design the most efficient networks based on network demand and span information.
  • Carrier-class reliability – Meriton solutions are robust and reliable, delivering 99.999% availability, making them ideal for disaster recovery application
  • Multi-protocol support – Support for Optical Ethernet, SONET/SDH and SAN protocols, and transparent wavelengths
  • Instant service delivery – Point-and-click provisioning of end-to-end circuits from the centralized Meriton 8600 NMS (Network Management System) means that services can be turned up in minutes
  • Metro extension products – Expand reach beyond traditional metro constraints, reaching regional networks with distances up to 600 km
