When it comes to storage, small and medium businesses have a lot in common with large enterprises. Just like the Fortune 400, they need to ensure that data is backed up, retrievable and secure, and that data access complies with governmental regulations. Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise. Attend this webcast and learn storage strategies to meet your growing business demands. Register Now >
Lucent Technologies yesterday announced that it has been chosen to
provide advanced optical technology to help evolve Verizon's
next-generation SONET network.
Under terms of the three-year agreement, Verizon will deploy the Lucent
Metropolis DMX portfolio of metro optical networking products and the
LambdaUnite MultiService Switch (MSS), a high-capacity, multi-service
switch designed to manage traffic from many metro access networks.
Metropolis DMX is an integrated SONET/Ethernet metro access multiplexer
that, working together with LambdaUnite MSS, is designed to enable Verizon to
cost-effectively meet its current metro-area access needs while providing a foundation to accommodate future bandwidth and service growth.
Metropolis DMX is designed to
allow service providers to use their existing optical equipment
while migrating from existing TDM (time-division multiplexed)
networks to data-aware packet networks.
The LambdaUnite MSS is standards-compliant technology will
enable Verizon to integrate existing backbone and metro optical
networks. It is designed to provide a bridge between data-intense metro networks and
high-speed optical core networks, connecting cities, campuses and corporate
networks to larger, long-haul public networks.
The Metropolis DMX family includes the DMX Access Multiplexer for
central office and large enterprise applications; the DMXpress for customer
premises applications; DMXtend, for enterprise and loop access applications;
and DMXplore to deliver next-generation SONET services economically to
the customer's premises.
LambdaUnite MSS is designed to allow service providers to upgrade their networks to 40 gigabits per second
and allows them to deliver new value-added services such as gigabit Ethernet.
The compact size and low energy requirements of LambdaUnite are designed to allow for significant cost savings compared to traditional systems.
According to Lucent, the single-shelf LambdaUnite MSS was recently optimized for smaller metro
applications, supporting in-service upgrades from 160G to 320G, as well as to
640G, allowing the system to grow when network capacity increases. Lucent reports that mesh
restoration capabilities were also added to help carriers migrate to new
mesh-based networks, while at the same time, leveraging traditional protection
architectures.
