Typical applications
• Full-rate and sub-rate storage extension (fiber channel and fICon) and gigabit ethernet over soneT/sDH to extend reach between enterprise sites to 1000s of miles
• Real-time disk mirroring using FICON or fiber channel or GigE
• Multiservice aggregation of voice, data and storage
• Link geographically dispersed enterprise local area networks with any-to-any layer 2 connectivity and RPR
• Education: school districts, colleges, universities
– converged voice, data and video network to deliver next-generation education applications
• Government: local, state and federal institutions – link government, business and citizens
• Finance: financial service, banks, insurance companies – transport and store mission-critical financial data
• Healthcare: HMOs, hospital systems, health services – distribution and storage of medical imaging and records
• Manufacturing: high tech, automotive, publishing – scalable networks that enable collaborative file sharing and e-commerce
Key Points
• Simple – lowers the total cost of ownership by removing bandwidth bottlenecks and providing transparent support for existing and new enterprise applications and services
– A flexible network architecture suitable for core and enterprise network builds
– Compatible with all common optical data communication protocols
– Remote network management
• Scalable – up to 48 wavelengths per fiber1 and up to 10 Gbps on each wavelength
– Extended distance support via amplified solutions
– Wavelength capacity to quickly add additional bandwidth1
– Multi-service support: DS1, E1/DS1, DS3/VT Transmux, Ds3, eC-1/sTs-1, OC-1, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, Ethernet (10/100 Base-T, 100 Base-fX and Base-1000 SX/lX) and storage interfaces (fICon and fiber channel with distance extension and compression)
• Resilient – carrier grade, 99.999% availability is a key requirement for business continuity
– Less than 50 milliseconds cut-over time to an alternate network path
– In-service upgrades to hardware and software
– Generic framing protocol (GFP) interfaces enable storage protocol transport directly over existing soneT or sDH networks enabling enterprises to take advantage of soneT/resiliency and availability
• Secure - Supports security features that block intrusion attempts and hacking tools
– Enables centralized user access management through RaDIUs servers
– Supports challenge/response mechanism which addresses many security issues associated with sending authentication information over unsecured links
Features and Benefits
Nortel Optical Metro Platform Series 3400
The nortel optical Metro Platform series 3400 is part of Nortel’s industry-leading next-generation soneT portfolioIt provides multi-service aggregation at medium-density sites with a wide variety of services such as TDM (DS1, Ds1/e1, Tmux, Ds3, sTs-1, oC-1, 3 and 12) and ethernet (10/100 base-T)It is scalable from 3 to 12 without interrupting the existing services.Its fully non-blocking switching architecture offers unrestricted bandwidth management capabilities and enables cost efficient delivery of voice, video and data traffic in the metropolitan area
The Metro Platform 3400 supports a wide array of optical hub capabilities and self-healing ring topologies and its flexible universal service interface slots can support any service mix without architectural limitations or complex engineering rules.
Optical Packet Edge System
The nortel optical Packet edge system enables businesses to cost-effectively implement and operate a flexible and scalable metropolitan networkby sharing the bandwidth of the optical ring, optical Packet edge system yields significant fiber efficiency that can be quickly upgraded and expanded as the number of enterprise sites and their bandwidth requirements grow.
It offers native ethernet interfaces that are common in enterprise IT networks, eliminating the need for costly and complex adaptation devices.Organizations realize savings on both network adaptation equipment as well as network interface investments.
The nortel optical Packet edge system is based on resilient packet ring (RPR) technology pioneered by nortel and currently standardized by the Ieee 80217 working groupRPR provides interoperability between multi-vendor equipment.The key benefits of RPR, include:
• High bandwidth delivery
• Cost-efficient bandwidth sharing between sites
• Native-rate Ethernet transport with carrier-grade availability and scalability
• Connectionless, packet-based networking
• Reduced need for external routers and DS-1/VT-15 facilities between lan locations
• Seamless inter-working with SONET and IP networks
• Ability to support a mix of packet and TDM traffic over the same network
• Restoration times of less than 50ms in the case of fiber cut or node failure
Nortel Optical Metro Platform Series 500
The nortel optical Metro Platform series 3500 is a cost-effective and versatile next-generation soneT platform that offers TDM, ethernet and storage services and is fully scalable from oC-3 to 12/48/192 in a single shelf.
It provides multiservice aggregation in high-density sites from TDM (Ds1, Ds3, Transmux, sTs-1, oC-3, 12 and 48), ethernet (10/100 base-T, 100 base fX and Gigabit ethernet1 over GfP/VCaT/lCas or RPR) to storage (fiber channel and fICon)It is scalable from 3 to 192 with integrated DWDM optics (48 wavelengths) and its non-blocking switching architecture offers the highest bandwidth management flexibility in the industry while enabling cost efficient delivery of voice, video and data traffic in the metropolitan area.
