The internet ecosystem is in constant transition, and with that evolution comes changing dynamics and shifts across the value chain. As a result, these hubs were traditionally confined to a set of larger cities and contained to a small set of facilities within those. While the traditional interconnect model has served its purpose for decades, it is now becoming increasingly outdated. The evolution of distributed, dynamic services is exposing the inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and large failure…

Routed Optical Networking Continues to Transform the Industry

The introduction of Cisco Routed Optical Networking transformed the optical networking industry, breaking a 20+ year multi-layer network architecture and paving the way to a converged  IP+Optical network architecture. With the introduction of pluggable coherent optics just a few short years ago, we asked, “What benefits might result with a new network architecture?” And, the answer was “significant OpEx and CapEx savings results” with what is now known as Routed Optical Networking. Routed Optical Networking…
