Apollo High Density Blades Ideally Suited for Data Center Connectivity
Apollo's blades feature unparalleled interface density and low power to drive a small footprint and
control costs. To highlight some examples:
The AoC10 10G muxponder supports a mix of 48/128 clients of 1GbE or FC-1/2/4 in the OPT9603/08
CLE platforms.
The TR10_12 10G transponder supports a mix of 18/48 clients of 10GbE or FC-8/10/16 in the
OPT9603/08 CLE platforms.
The TM100 CFP-based metro 100G muxponder supports a total of 30/80 short-reach 10GbE
clients in the OPT9603/08 CLE platforms. This is illustrated below for the OPT9603, showing
how these 30 client interfaces multiplex onto three 100G coherent metro network interfaces
16G Fibre Channel This fifth generation FC technology is provided via the ultra-dense
TR10_12 10G transponder. 18 FC-16 clients are supported on the OPT9603, and 48 FC-16 clients
are supported on the OPT9608.
Ultra Low Latency The majority of data center connectivity applications, such as data access
or data backup, requires latency in the tens of milliseconds, which is supported by standard OTN.
For some data center connectivity applications, such as real-time recording of stock market
financial transactions, even lower latency connectivity is desired. The ultra-dense TR10_12 10G
transponder can provide ultra-low nanosecond latency by bypassing the OTN mapping function
and inserting data directly into a colored wavelength for DWDM transport.
Layer 1 Optical Encryption To protect against the interception of enterprise data by passively
tapping into an optical fiber, the TR10_4EN provides Layer 1 optical encryption that can be applied
to Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and TDM client services. Data is secured from the point at which it
enters the network until it leaves, using a 256-bit key, which is the highest level of the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES-256).
Multi-vendor Storage System Interworking All Apollo blades are certified to interwork
with storage equipment from EMC, the world's largest supplier of storage systems, and others.
LAN Extension Service While data center connectivity is mostly implemented as a Layer 1
transparent transport service, in some instances it may be desirable to handle it as a Layer 2 packet
LAN extension service. Apollo can provide this through the AoC10_L2 blade, which integrates packet
services into Apollo's optical transport infrastructure under common network management, with
the following powerful packet capabilities:
MEF-defined E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, and E-Access Carrier Ethernet services
Statistical multiplexing for grooming and efficient transport of multiple 1GbE or 10GbE ports onto
Service Availability Guarantees For point-to-point and ring configurations, Apollo blades
provide a range of automatic protection switching (APS) options like Y-protection, OCH1+1, and
OLP, which provide instantaneous cutover in case of a link failure for the highest level of service
availability. In a mesh network configuration, where it may be too complex or costly to provide APS,
Apollo nodes can communicate with each other autonomously, through a GMPLS control plane, to
provide dynamic restoration by reconfiguring existing resources. ASON provides sub-wavelength
level restoration using Apollo's ODU cross-connect, and WSON provides wavelength level restoration
via Apollo's CDC ROADMs. These mechanisms complement APS to guarantee end-to-end service
availability even in the most complex networks.
Low Operational Expense ECI's world-class LightSoft NMS provides intuitive point-and-click
end-to-end service creation and network management for the Apollo family of products, focused
on fast service responsiveness and low operational expenses. It covers configuration, service
provisioning, fault management, performance monitoring, and security control. As a single integrated
management system with rich northbound interfaces to OSS, LightSoft enables full control of all
NEs regardless of their manufacturer, while providing a view of the entire network at a glance.
A particularly powerful LightSoft feature is real-time processing of Apollo's Optical Network Control
Parameters (ONCP) for detailed performance monitoring of each Apollo light path, as well as rapid
fault sectionalization, if required.
SDN Services Automation ECI's LightApp SDN services automation extends control to end
users for bandwidth-on-demand and services scheduling. With the Services Scheduling feature,
LightApp provides a calendar-like solution to reserve resources in advance, allowing explicit
for a specific amount of time. This responds to the requirement that services are required only at
certain times and for predictable durations, such as for periodic backups at night between data
centers. With Bandwidth-on-Demand, network resources are allocated dynamically according to
actual needs, saving network resources and dramatically improving network utilization.
In summary, the Apollo P-OTS family, with its dense, modular architecture, value-added data center
centric features and powerful supporting software for network management and end-user control,
ECI Telecom is a leading global provider of intelligent infrastructure, offering platforms and
solutions tailored to meet the escalating demands of tomorrow's services. Our comprehensive
A B O U T 1NET approach defines ECIs total focus on optimal transition to Next Generation Networks
ECI TELECOM through the unique combination of innovative and multi-functional network equipment,
fully integrated solutions, and a wide spectrum of services.
