Optical Networking
High-capacity data transport with secure optical networking for data center interconnect and enterprise WANs
High-capacity transport between data centres is necessary for reliable transmission of high bandwidth applications such as multi-media devices and other IoT devices. Data centres use high-end DWDM optical network solutions for transporting multiple 10G/40G/100G services to deliver high bandwidth. As data capacity increases, the need for economical rack space and power has become crucial for cost effective, scalable networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch family provides a scalable network solution that is power efficient and requires a minimal deployment footprint for enterprise WANs. All aspects of the enterprise are connected through WANs, whether it is from headquarters to branch offices, manufacturing plants to supply chains or customers to sales.
