Data and Trading at the Speed of Light
[1 MB]
As financial and trading firms continue to optimize algorithmic and electronic trading applications, many are looking to achieve the lowest possible latency across communications networks. Investing in systems and networks which eliminate milliseconds and even microseconds of latency can be a high-return project given the competitive nature of today’s environment, where speed of market information and order delivery has a profound impact on the algorithms driving the trading strategies. - Bandwidth Virtualization Enables a Programmable Optical Network [1.3 MB]
Bandwidth Virtualization™ in Digital Optical Networks provides a scalable, cost-effective and easy to manage service deliver architecture that contains built-in investment protection for emerging technology enhancements. Based on the use of Photonic Integrated Circuit and Digital Optical Network™ technology, Bandwidth Virtualization decouples the service layer from the optical transmission layer, providing operators with software-based flexibility for provisioning new services; unconstrained reconfigurability, and rapid service turn-up. - Digital Optical Networks: Rapid, Cost-Effective Deployment and Turn-up Case Study [74 KB]
The Infinera Digital Optical Network® defines a new network architecture that offers a significant benefit: the ability to install and turn-up new services at unprecedented speed and reduced levels of cost and staff. This paper presents a real-life nationwide Infinera Digital Optical Network deployment that delivered a 90% reduction in installation cost and time, and enables the service provider to turn up new services, even across ~14,000 route-miles, in a matter of minutes. - Next-Generation Higher Speed Ethernet: 100Gb/s Ethernet and Beyond [367 KB]
100 Gigabit Ethernet is the next step in Ethernet evolution. This White Paper discusses a new implementation scheme for 100 Gb/E to enable efficient and resilient scaling to higher speeds. - Reconfigurability of Digital Optical Networks [402 KB]
This paper focuses on the benefits of a Digital Optical Network for service delivery. The Digital Optical Network architecture maximizes service flexibility, network reconfigurability, and forecast tolerance to new services and changes in service demands. - Digital Optical Network Architecture Benefits [3.74 MB]
This White Paper outlines the concept and benefits of an Infinera Digital Optical Network, including the ability to consolidate network architecture, maximize customer revenue capture, and reduce both capital and operating costs. - Digital Optical Network Services [1.04 MB]
This paper describes differentiated transport service offerings which can be delivered by a digital optical network. - Photonic Integrated Circuits: A Technology and Application Primer [1.99 MB]
Large-scale photonic integration is a significant technology development that brings significant benefits to optical networks. This White Paper looks at some of the technology and application drivers for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and some of the issues associated with the design and manufacture of PICs. - Signal Conditioning and Forward Error Correction in a Digital Optical Network [239 KB]
