Cisco Optical Networking
New and Used Cisco Optical Networking Products
Meet your high-bandwidth needs, even as your business operations
grow, by reliably transporting voice, video, data, and storage traffic
over a high-capacity optical network. Benefits of optical networking in
the enterprise include:
- Speed and capacity—Take advantage of the high-speed data
transmission capabilities of today's optical systems (up to 10 Gbps
per wavelength, or 320 Gbps on a single optical fiber). It’s enough
capacity to back up all your company’s information and have
additional bandwidth to support existing as well as new business
applications.
- Business uptime—Keep your business operating with fully
redundant optical systems capable of restoring to full operation in
less than 50 milliseconds, a disruption undetectable by applications
running over the network.
- Reduced cost and complexity—Cost-effectively consolidate your
multiple networks—for voice, mainframe data, IP/Ethernet, and
storage—onto a single multiservice optical network. Reducing
complexity and simplifying network management help control costs and
lower the time it takes to deploy new applications.
Enterprise Optical Networking Applications include:
- Data center/storage interconnect with certification from
original storage manufacturers (OSMs)
- Super/high-performance/GRID computing
- Cluster interconnect
- Campus interconnect
- Video
- Medical imaging/PACS
Cisco optical solutions enable highly available, high-density
aggregation between data centers. They provide the availability,
capacity, cost, and distance requirements that you demand to meet your
business continuance objectives. Their flexibility in aggregating
multiple protocols makes them ideally suited for deploying highly
efficient data center networking solutions (Figure 1), carrying traffic
for multiple platforms including the Cisco Catalyst switches and Cisco
MDS storage products. Cisco optical solutions can aggregate the
following:
- Fibre Channel and 10-Gbps Fibre Channel
- Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
- Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON)
- IBM Fiber Connection (FICON)
- Sysplex protocols
- Coupling link protocols
