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 Xtera Communications 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 Xtera solution is ideal for large enterprise customers, such as financial
services companies:
- Cost-effective Agile Optical Networking solution – Only
Xtera 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 Xtera 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 – Xtera'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 – Xtera Communications
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 Xtera 9500 Network Planning Tool allows engineers
to quickly design the most efficient
networks based on network demand and span information.
- Carrier-class reliability – Xtera 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 Xtera 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
