IT network initiatives are exploding…
• IT Department funding is growing 5-9% while demands are
growing 2-3 times that rate …
• IT Departments are burdened by storage growth rate
• IT Departments need to consolidate multiple network service
• IT Departments need to extend LANs beyond the campus

…while some network demands stay
constant!
• Highest possible need for network security
• Security as in protecting the network
• Security as in maintaining application availability

• Constant need for scalability

• Scalability as in more bandwidth
• Scalability as in adding more locations
• Scalability as in networking more applications

• Increasing need for reliability

• Reliability as in application performance
•Reliability as in faster recovery

Our customers want to reach any site – even future sites:
• This reduces need for IT / Real Estate interdepartmental planning
• This minimizes need for overlay networks
• This drives consolidation benefits across entire IT budget

 What is Optical Networking?

• Optical Networking Definition:

– is the utilization of fiber systems in the transfer and
management of data from location to location across the
fiber system.
• Categories of Optical Data Services:
– Switched Services - protocol management
• TLS/Gigabit Ethernet, Frame Relay, ATM…
– Transport Services - protocol transport
• Architectures - Point to Point or Ring
• Delivery Method - ILEC, Network Integration or Hybrid
• Protocols Transported

protocol independent data
transport over single fiber pair

• Supports optical data protocols

including SONET, ESCON, FICON,
Fibre Channel, GigE, D1 Video,
ETR/CLO, Fast Ethernet, ISC.

What is Dense Wave Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) ?
Dense Wave Division Multiplexing is a technology that
utilizes the properties of refracted light to both combine and
separate optical signals based on their wavelengths
within the optical spectrum.
The Greek letter lambda ( λ ) , is often used to designate individual wavelengths.

DWDM allows for a more efficient use of existing fiber by

providing multiple optical paths along a single pair
of fibers

DWDM allows for a greater range of protocol transmission

better suited than legacy network for data centric applications.
(Eg. GigE, ESCON, Fibre Channel, D1 video, ISC)

What is Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) ?
At Ingress: Multiple Optical signals of differing wavelengths
are combined to form a single optical signal.

At Egress: A single Optical signals is refracted to separate

multiple Optical signals of differing wavelengths.

 Benefits of DWDM

• Increases bandwidth (speed and distance)

• Does not require replacement or upgrade their
existing legacy systems
• Provides "next generation" technologies to meet
growing data needs
• Less costly in the long run because increased fiber
capacity is automatically available; don't have to
upgrade all the time
