Your Transport Network Is a Strategic Asset
Cloud computing, virtualization, business continuity and disaster recovery – all demand access to increasing
amounts of bandwidth with the lowest possible latency. Financial and regulatory demands have now forced IT
managers to reassess their data center storage strategy. Enterprises, including financial institutions and utilities,
have started to deploy geographically dispersed server clusters and SANs. Disaster recovery concepts that
guarantee the availability and survival of essential data, even in case of a catastrophic failure, have become a
mandatory design requirement. Due to the large bandwidth requirements involved, optical transport networks are
a critical strategic asset for driving innovation and success in data center connectivity. Built-in redundancy and
security concepts are essential to achieve compliance regarding data safety and integrity.
