Data Center Interconnection & Applications

• Between racks or meet-me-room
on the same floor
• Between racks on different floor
• Between two or more data centers
8
Interconnections “Within” a DC
• Between racks on the same floor and/or
different floors
– X-connection has been one of the main
revenue streams for colocation providers
– For telco and content providers,
x-connections monthly cost can be a large
part of the OPEX, especially in carrier-
dense, expensive DCs in NY, HK, Tokyo
– Low cost DWDM point-to-point solutions are
deployed to reduce monthly recurring cost
– There is also growing interest by hyperscale
DC to deploy point-to-point DWDM
connecting spine and leaf switches
Interconnections Between DCs - Metro & Regional
9
• Between two or more DCs
– DC-to-DC connectivity across metro, regional,
long-haul/submarine regions, e.g. within metro
Jakarta, or between Jakarta to Surabaya, or
between Singapore to Tokyo
– Colocation service providers need high-
speed connectivity to make their tenants feel
like all servers, switches, routers are “virtually”
located in the same DC
– Dark fiber providers who wants to expand
their business from sell “dark” fibers to
wavelength services
– Content providers who are looking to build
their own content delivery network (from leasing
bandwidth to build-their-own network)
Cable Landing Station (CLS) to DC and
DC-to-DC over Submarine Links
10
• Bandwidth Requirements Continue to
Drive Subsea and CLS-to-DC Links
– The new data centers in the region,
especially in HK/SG/JP, have continued to
demand faster connections from the
submarine cables
– Capacity of backhaul links between CLS
and local DC has to be upgraded
accordingly
– It is not uncommon for these links to carry
Tbps of capacity
What is an Open Line System (OLS) Concept?
11
• Open Line System (OLS) Model
– Open network decouples “optical layer” from “wavelength service layer”
– Open software interfaces make network management simpler
– These open transponders must be simple to manage without forcing to use
a traditional NMS system

“Just wanted to let you know that
our soak test of the Groove
between DFW and DEN has
completed and was successful at
8QAM running 150G. We ran for
two days with no errors. The plan
is to put some production traffic on
this unit.”

− EVOAs
− OCM
− WSS
− OSC
Compact Low Loss Filters− Low insertion loss-Enables extended passive architectures
and more complex channel plans
− Reduced footprint

ROADM – Basic Concept and Value
• For initial Point-to-Point network, Fixed OADM (FOADM) network architecture worked fine.
• A problem arises when we have intermediate location that requires “partial” adding/dropping of traffic manual patch work is needed

Next month: 5 x 100GE connectivity between DC1 and DC3 (via DC2)

What Do You Need to Do at DC2?
• Some cable patching work is required to get the 100G wavelengths passing via DC2
• For small l counts, the job is manageable. But for full 40/80/96 DWDM channels,
ROADM architecture will allow user-selective add/drop capability.

1. Engineers puts in a physical patch
cord, which introduces insertion loss
and it affects the overall link budget.
2. Each wavelength added
needs to be re-balanced…
l 3. Regeneration is often
needed due to deficit power budget

Especially if you fiber optic
layer begins to grow…
… or if latest technologies,
including colorless,
directionless, contentionless,
gridless, are considered.
