Alcatel-Lucent 1870 Transport Tera Switch (TTS) : Addressing The Exaflood Challenge
The Alcatel-Lucent 1870 Transport Tera Switch (TTS) defines the next generation of optical core switching platforms. Bringing terabit capacity and uniquely intelligent Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities to the core, it allows providers to meet the exaflood challenge of explosive service and bandwidth growth while transporting traffic at the lowest cost per bit. Leveraging the latest silicon innovation, the Alcatel-Lucent 1870 TTS integrates the strengths of OTN, GMPLS and carrier Ethernet into a high-density, all-optical switch with 40G/100G support and up to 8 terabit-per-second capacity. An essential component of Alcatel-Lucents High Leverage NetworkTM Converged Backbone Transformation solution, it offers a flexible range of IP traffic grooming options at the OTN layer including port-level and sub-portlevel grooming. This enables efficient core router traffic offload onto the optical network as well as IP backbone scaling at a controlled cost. In addition to providing the greatest possible quality assurance, resiliency, availability, advanced operational automation across the optical and IP layers along with unparalleled power efficiency, the Alcatel-Lucent 1870 TTS reduces the total cost of network ownership making it an ideal platform for operators seeking to build a scalable and efficient converged backbone infrastructure as they transition to OTN.
for maximum efficiency, the Alcatel-lucent 1870 ttS converges the multi-technology transport architectures that support otn, carrier ethernet including MPlS-tP and SDh/Sonet.
the gMPlS control plane intelligence of the Alcatel-lucent 1870 TTS includes multiple restoration options, minimizing the need to use available bandwidth for resilience. Spare bandwidth can instead be repurposed and monetized, extracting the maximum economic benefit from available resources. Sophisticated gMPlS restoration mechanisms also offer differentiated degrees of SlA and quality assurance, enabling a new breed of service options for end users.
8 Tbps, 4 Tbps, 2 Tbps and 1 Tbps universal switching platform OTN with multiple transport networking options including optical transport hierarchy (OTH), carrier Ethernet and SDH/SONET. Universal any-rate cards for flexible and efficient provisioning of multiple traffic types GMPLS control plane intelligence for cross-layer automation, highly resilient transport and dynamic bandwidth provisioning across multiple transport networking layers Energy-efficient, high-density chassis, leveraging innovative 65 nanometer silicon technology
Supports huge traffic growth in a cost-controlled manner, providing capacity and networking flexibility for scalable and sustainable delivery of next-generation IP services at the lowest cost per bit Most efficient sub-wavelength bandwidth management capabilities for high bit rate traffic flows up to 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Shifts transit traffic-handling burdens away from core routers through lambda-, port- and sub-port-level IP-traffic grooming options, helping reduce the cost of transport Leverages SDH/SONET assets and operational models for smooth evolutionary transport network upgrades Automated network and service provisioning enable bandwidth-on-demand services. Highly available networks are resilient to multiple failures, and GMPLS provides flexible restoration options for service differentiation and SLA support. Also increases network monetization, as fewer resources are required for protection, freeing bandwidth for revenue-producing traffic Reduces OPEX by lowering power per transported bit, and streamlines operations and maintenance with GMPLS automation and restoration
Backbone transformation solution, a key component of Alcatel-lucents high leverage network strategy. it offers a flexible range of traffic grooming options that enable efficient core router traffic offload onto the optical network and help scale the iP backbone, facilitating transport at the lowest cost per bit (see figure 2).
management, multi-level connection monitoring and SlA verification tools, the Alcatel-lucent 1870 ttS enables both intra-carrier and inter-carrier end-to-end monitoring capabilities that increase service quality assurance, facilitate operations and lower network costs in multi-carrier/multidomain networking scenarios.
