[Nice, France, June 19, 2017] At Next Generation
Optical Networking (NGON) 2017, Huawei officially
released its mesh backbone network solution, featuring
all-optical switching, full mesh, and one-hop service
transmission. The new solution is designed to enable
operators to deliver ultra-high bandwidth, meeting the
demands of enterprises, internet content providers
(ICPs) and cloud services.
The solution uses the industry's first commercial
Optical Cross-Connect and Optical Transport Network
(OXC+OTN) cluster devices to re-construct Data Center
(DC) centric backbone networks and provide
wavelength/sub-wavelength connections between DCs
for one-hop transmission, ensuring low latency and
ultra-large bandwidth between any two DCs.
At the event, Huawei demonstrated innovative dynamic
grooming of optical wavelengths and cross-
connections through OXC, as well as OTN cluster,
high-integration and multi-functional service boards.
With the rapid development of Internet and cloud
services, traffic between DCs is expected to grow by
50% over the next few years. Inter-DC traffic will
become the main type of traffic on transport backbone
networks. In this new environment operators need to
evolve their backbone networks which have been
designed for traditional telecom services. They now
need DC-centric networks that enable mesh
interconnectivity between network nodes and one-hop
service transmission. This shortens the network path
for services to reduce latency and ensure real-time
exchange of data between DCs, meeting the demands
of cloud services.
Huawei’s OXC+OTN cluster mesh backbone network
solution has been developed to reconstruct operators'
transport backbone networks for the cloud era. The
OXC+OTN cluster mesh backbone network architecture
enables one-hop transmission between any two cities,
minimizing the latency for DC interconnections.
Using wavelength-level switching and Liquid Crystal
on Silicon (LCOS) technologies, the OXC provides 320T
to 640T cross-connect capacity and supports
wavelength grooming in up to 32 optical directions
with power consumption of hundreds of Watts.
Additionally, the introduction of optical backplanes
addresses the issues of complicated fiber connections
within traditional Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop
Multiplexers (ROADM). Optical backplanes greatly
simplify fiber connections, reduce connection losses,
and improve system reliability. The OTN solves the
access and grooming requirements of small-
granularity services that are at the sub-wavelength
level. The cluster technology achieves non-blocking
cross-connections between OTN subracks and
provides resource pools for transmission channels,
enabling continuous smooth expansion of channel
resources between DCs.
According to Don Frey, OVUM's principle analyst in
one of his latest report: "One of the challenges created
by all-optical solutions, including current ROADM
technology, is the complexity of fiber connections. The
optical backplane (of OXC) simplifies fiber connections
within the system, which reduces the possibility of
fiber errors. Digital optical monitoring will enable
advanced control and wavelength management,
promising a more elegant fiber management approach.
The OTN cluster allows carriers to offer more flexible
services to Cloud CSPs and enterprises. With the
Huawei Agile Controller-Transport, operators can
provision OTN bandwidths in a shorter timeframe,
meeting demand for bandwidths from ICPs, enterprises,
and 5G transport."
Huawei optical network solutions have consistently led
the rapid development of the ultra broadband industry,
including Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), point-
to-point Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM),
OTN, and now OXC+OTN clustering. Huawei remains
committed to providing operators with highly efficient
and economical backbone network solutions. The
mesh backbone network solution will help operators
build future-oriented CloudOptiX transport networks
and embrace the all-cloud era.
