ADVA Optical Networking Unveils All-New Data Center Interconnect Solution
FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ Sets New Industry Benchmarks for Density, Scalability and Energy-Efficiency
... features some of the most advanced technology we’ve ever engineered.
The ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ has been specifically engineered to scale. That’s why there’s no client port lock-in. As new Ethernet data rates emerge, they can be supported by plugging new line cards into the entire range of chassis. What’s more, by using the same line cards in mega data centers, co-location sites and smaller office locations, ICPs and CSPs are able to vastly reduce inventory sprawl. In addition to client port lock-in, the ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ also eliminates backplane lock-in and this is a critical factor for future growth. Many vendors use active backplanes that consume unnecessary energy, ADVA Optical Networking’s engineers have developed a modular solution that does not require electrical backplane traffic. This approach eliminates unnecessary electrical processing and needless energy consumption. It also enables ICPs and CSPs to rapidly migrate to the latest data rates with true plug-and-play scalability.
“Our FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ is truly a game changer. It features some of the most advanced technology we’ve ever engineered. This isn’t incremental, it’s exceptional,” commented Stephan Rettenberger, VP, marketing, ADVA Optical Networking. “This is the highest density DCI solution available. It’s the most energy efficient. It has the smallest footprint. It even comes in multiple configurations, including 4RU, to suit specific needs. What’s most impressive though is the capacity. There are no hidden calculations here. It features the industry’s first true 400Gbit/s single line card. While others are still talking about this technology, we’re delivering it. Our FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ is a solution designed by the industry and built by us. Every aspect has been specifically engineered to meet our customers’ demands. With our technology, the DCI network will now be able to exceed all expectations.”
ICPs and CSPs need more than just scale and energy efficiency if they’re to truly expand their DCI connectivity. Software and ease of integration are critical but often overlooked factors. That’s why the ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect™ meets all ease-of-use requirements with a simple plug-and-play optical layer that includes auto discovery and provisioning. That’s also why it supports a wide range of customizable APIs for programmability, no matter the size or architecture of the underlying network. From simple point-to-point networks, to meshed networks, to global scale virtualized networks, software integration is effortless with CLI, REST, NETCONF, and RESTCONF all supported. And for advanced virtualized and multi-tenant networks, a network hypervisor with fully open Northbound interfaces is available to abstract the DCI transport network so that end-to-end optimization of multi-layer packet flows is possible.
