Applications – Data Center Interconnectivity
Few applications place greater demands on scalability, low-latency, and overall packet performance than data center to data center interconnections. Fortunately, Cyan's industry leading Z-Series packet-optical transport systems are up the task - with industry leading performance, scale, and compelling economics.
 
The Z-Series supports data center interconnections with multiple, low-latency options.
  • Ethernet aggregation and transport is accomplished with packet service modules that provide one of the lowest latency solutions in the industry. Support for E-LINE, E-LAN and advanced Ethernet features are combined with connection oriented Ethernet transport standards yielding scalable, predictable, robust Ethernet services performance with ultra-low latency. The aggregate 10 GbE services can be transported natively via dedicated fibers, or software c onf igured for ODU-2 egress and mapped into DWDM modules for Nx10G transport.
  • When latency is the dominant consideration, Z-Series support of high-density 10 GbE transport, using low latency OTN transponders with software selectable FEC to further optimize latency over higher-optical margin routes. With support for 8x10G interfaces per transponder module, the Z-Series provide one of the highest-density, lowest-latency solutions in the market. As with all other service modules, optional DWDM modules provide cost-effective Nx10G transport per fiber to satisfy even the most demanding scale.
 While 10 Gigabit Ethernet services are the dominant interface of choice in many data centers today, 100 Gigabit Ethernet is rapidly evolving and projected to be an increasingly dominant service interface in the not too distant future. The Z-Series platforms support for 100 Gbps of card to card interconnect through ulta-high capacity backplanes provide a simple card addition migration path to future 100 GbE services support. This non-blocking 100G grooming capability, combined with DWDM modules support for a mix of 10G and 100G wavelength services provide the perfect foundation to scale future services.

Of course Cyan's solution advantage goes beyond scalable, low-latency platforms, with revolutionary planning, management and verification software. Cyan's revolutionary CyMS is widely recognized as the industry's first 3-dimensional multi-layer management system. In addition, Cyan offers powerful multi-layer planning and performance verification tools which collectively enable optimized network designs, with superior performance and compelling economics.
