CIENA's CN 2000 Provides Higher Application Performance and Significant Network and Operational Savings
Overview The Independent Electricity Market Operator's (IMO) storage extension infrastructure, primarily composed of channel extenders, was unable to support the additional applications and throughput required to meet their Business Continuity (BC) goals. IMP selected Nortel's CN 2000. The CN 2000 was then connected to the SONET multiplexer via a standard DS3 link. The EMC Symmetrix disk systems were then connected to the CN 2000 to support the remote SRDF disk mirroring application. The CN 2000 greatly simplifies the operational model for storage extension, enabling a plug-and-play, end user managed implementation without requiring complicated IP, ATM, or optical engineering.
