Automate Everything: Extending Transport Network Automation to the Flexible Optical Layer
Managed by Optica
01 April 2014
Service providers continue to face staggering increases in bandwidth, driven primarily by video and cloud combined with increasingly competitive broadband and mobile access speeds. This growth requires ongoing CapEx investment in the network at both the IP/MPLS layer (Layer 3/2.5) and the OTN and DWDM transport layer (Layer 1/0) so that service providers can continue to deliver high quality network experiences to their customers. To help keep OpEx costs under control it’s essential for the Transport Network to offer high levels of automation and be easy to plan, build and operate. Ease of use for modern transport networks has many facets, but one obvious requirement is that it must be possible to automate day to day operations such as provisioning, protecting or rerouting services. In this webinar we look at how a number of high level trends are coming together to help increase Transport Network capacity and scalability, while at the same time offering unprecedented levels of automation.
