Nokia to upgrade New York’s biggest internet exchange
The DE-CIX backbone will be upgraded to 400 Gigabit Ethernet using Nokia optical technology and redesigned in a ring topology, redundantly interconnecting the 10 data centre facilities where DE-CIX infrastructure is housed, states the release.
The Nokia optical solution also enables 800GE support for anticipated further growth of the IX and employs Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) technology, which is supposed to provide greater routing flexibility, faster reaction times in the case of incidents, and a “seamless customer experience without any service interruptions.”
We’re told that within a dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) system, the ROADM technology in Nokia’s 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) makes it possible to automatically reroute waves at the optical layer in any direction around the backbone. What this means, we are further told, is that incidents at any location in the network can be mitigated more rapidly and less capacity is required at the IP layer for same level of resilience.
