 Sycamore SN 9000 Intelligent Multiservice Switch
Improves Service Flexibility, Bandwidth Agility, and Operational Simplicity; Leverages Proven Networking and Management Software for Automated Provisioning and Optical Mesh Resiliency
The SN 9000 addresses the growing demands for flexible bandwidth capacity and service resiliency in metro and regional networks. The platform brings important new functionality to multiservice switching – including unique bandwidth capacity licensing, service modularity, and any-service, any-port features – in a solution that is "right-sized" for applications in the 80-320 Gbps bandwidth range.
The SN 9000 is designed to cost-effectively integrate multiple functions in a single, highly-compact system. These functions include low-order (VT/VC) and high-order (OC-n/STM-n) switching, add-drop multiplexing, advanced Ethernet services, and integrated optical transport. The SN 9000 addresses multiservice aggregation and network migration challenges while leveraging end-to-end networking software to enable service differentiation for fixed line and mobile service providers, MSO/cable operators, government agencies, and utility network operators.
SN 9000 systems architecture highlights:
- Any-service, any-port flexibility simplifies circuit/packet service provisioning and improves operational efficiency
- Unique, pay-as-you-grow bandwidth licensing reduces initial deployment costs without imposing fixed node or slot configurations
- In-service scalability from 80 Gbps to 320 Gbps facilitates cost-effective expansion
- Layered service provisioning minimizes operational complexities of new service introduction
- Converged IP service grooming optimizes bandwidth aggregation and capacity utilization
- Diverse protection and restoration options – ring, mesh, and hybrid – deliver high-availability and service resiliency
- Common networking (BroadLeaf®) and management (SILVX®) software, shared by all Sycamore optical switches, enhances operational efficiencies and end-to-end service management
