Cisco Optical DWDM Sandbox
This lab provides a hands-on environment to get familiar with provisioning circuits on the Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000. This environment can also be customized and is used for our custom optical trainings.
Which Optical Transport Architecture Is Right for You?
There are various transport network architectures, from strictly Layer 1 optical rings to meshed Layer 1 through Layer 3 converged networks. How do you decide? This article provides a high level overview of three different architectures, their typical use cases and benefits.
400G-ZR & ZR+: The Latest in Pluggable Coherent DWDM
The convergence of DWDM and routing technology -- are 400G pluggable DWDM optics the key to this long-sought union? Let's take a look.
400G Optics: Enabling Network Scale and Device Consolidation
How do you cost effectively interconnect 300,000 servers in one data center? Faster switches are a solution, sure, but that's only half the story. Learn how faster Optics are a must to realize the benefit of faster switching and routing technology.
