How Cisco IT Used CWDM to Interconnect Japanese Data Center Sites
Overview Although a dedicated data center appeared to be a good solution, the cost of providing reliable connectivity between the data center and the two sales offices seemed prohibitive. To provide an acceptable level of reliability and redundancy, a circuit would be needed from the data center to Akasaka, from Akasaka to Shinjuku, and from Shinjuku back to the data center. The Cisco Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) solution was now available, which could provide economical optical bandwidth scalability with little or no management requirements. CWDM employs multiple light wavelengths to transmit signals over a single optical fiber. CWDM technology is a crucial component of Ethernet LAN and MAN networks because it maximizes the use of installed fiber infrastructure at an attractive price point.
