ADVA Optical
Networking's Transmission Technology Boosts Capacity Over 385km DCI
Network
Poznan, Poland.
May 31, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking today announced that the
Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) has
deployed its FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM) with QuadFlex(TM) 400Gbit/s
technology in PSNC's PIONIER network. The data center interconnect
(DCI) solution with its unique openness and scale is now
transmitting enormous data loads using the 16QAM modulation format.
The 96-channel network, which connects supercomputing centers in
Poznan and Warsaw, removes data restrictions and enables
researchers to share huge data sets. It will empower Poland's
research and education community to collaborate, distribute
findings and access data-intensive applications on an unprecedented
scale. The network was installed and will be maintained by the
Polish systems integrator and ADVA Optical Networking partner, Alma
SA.
"This new solution is our response
to soaring demand from Poland's research and education community.
Access to high-capacity applications and ultra-fast data transport
has become essential for universities and research institutes. The
ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM) enables us to answer that fierce
demand. It delivers the enormous capacity that the scientific
community increasingly relies on while optimizing space and power
consumption," said Maciej Stroinski, technical director, PSNC. "The
giant leap in capacity opens up so many more possibilities. We can
now provide almost unlimited access to our world-class IT
resources, facilitating computational-based research into
everything from climate modeling to space exploration. What's more,
we now have the power to seamlessly scale our network to
accommodate the needs of tomorrow."
Built on the ADVA FSP 3000
CloudConnect(TM), the new infrastructure utilizes the company's
QuadFlex(TM) technology to transport 400Gbit/s over 385km without
the need for signal regeneration. To achieve this channel capacity,
it is configured with two 200Gbit/s wavelengths operating at 16QAM
within an optical super-channel. Designed for scalability and
bandwidth optimization, the ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM) platform
offers unrivalled efficiency. It delivers huge energy savings and,
with its incredibly small footprint, consumes less rack space than
competing technology. The ultra-high-capacity link is a key section
of the PIONIER network, which is operated domestically by PSNC.
PIONIER is a consortium of Polish research and education
organizations, including universities, scientific institutions and
super-computing centers.
"Our FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM)
solution is ideal for delivering 400Gbit/s bandwidth in research
and education networks. Developed to meet the most stringent
density, security and energy demands, our DCI technology is
uniquely positioned to help PSNC cope with exponential growth in
data demand," commented Ardashes Garabedian, senior sales manager,
Eastern Europe and CIS, ADVA Optical Networking. "But as well as
innovation, what was crucial here was the extensive experience of
our engineers when it comes to creating optical transport solutions
that our customers can rely on. PSNC has always been at the
forefront of research and education networking globally. We helped
it create one of Europe's first national academic networks to be
built on its own dark fiber. PSNC was quick to harness 100Gbit/s
connectivity. Now it's leading the way by enabling 400Gbit/s
connectivity for vital, data-intensive research."
