SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 2, 2012) - Cisco (
With the expected growth in network traffic, combined with complex traffic patterns associated with distributed storage and compute resources, service providers are seeking to deploy a core solution that converges IP and optical domains, for agility and efficiency and to interconnect data centers.
Cisco new elastic core networking capabilities enable service providers such as GTS CE to cost-effectively launch and scale revenue-generating services within minutes instead of months. The solution includes the industry's first integrated coherent 100 Gbps Internet Protocol over dense wave division multiplexing (IPoDWDM) and Cisco's nLight™ technology for the CRS.
Cisco's nLight technology converges IP and optical transport networks by introducing programmability to minimize network complexity while maximizing service intelligence and monetization opportunities. This capability significantly reduces network total cost of ownership and is a key element of the Cisco Open Network Environment (ONE) framework. Cisco ONE fully integrates an operator's underlying network infrastructure with application environments, creating opportunities to deliver new application-specific services.
Cisco CRS, with new elastic core capabilities, allows service providers of all sizes to cost-effectively deploy multi-chassis routing configurations, which makes it easier to scale services. The Cisco CRS also offers GTS unmatched capacity for its core network with 400 Gbps per slot ready capability, high resiliency, and a cost-effective intelligent core solution to improve the return on investment for its core network.
