OSA Delivers New Levels of Low Latency, High Speed and High Availability
London, U.K. January 30, 2012. ADVA Optical Networking and Openreach, the
infrastructure division of BT Group, today officially launched a new Optical
Spectrum Access (OSA) service. Forming part of Openreach's Optical Spectrum
Service (OSS) portfolio, OSA provides the U.K.'s enterprise community with new
levels of network connectivity capable of responding to today's increasingly
demanding business needs. Built on the FSP 3000, enterprises will now be able to
transport enormous amounts of data throughout the U.K. with much improved
latency and unparalleled encryption and security.
"The response to the FSP 3000 introduction has been exceptional," said Jon
Hurry, MD, Strategy, Commercial, Portfolio & Policy, Openreach. "Since the pre-
launch of this service we've collaborated with a range of communications
providers, whose customers are expecting dramatically more from their networks.
Scalability and protecting their investment is at the heart of our customers'
strategy; they need to transport increasing amounts of data across greater
distances more securely and faster than ever before. OSA meets those criteria.
Today's launch marks a milestone for U.K. businesses seeking to position their
networks as a competitive advantage."
The OSA service provides dedicated single or resilient point-to-point optical
fibre links throughout the U.K. With a route distance of up to 103km, the
service accommodates a range of interfaces and uses the same low-latency
technology deployed extensively in many of the world's leading financial trading
networks. Configured to specific networking demands and accommodating a full
range of protocols and service interfaces, OSA has been built with the sole
purpose of moving large amounts of data faster, farther and more securely.
"This is an incredible time to be involved in U.K. networks," commented
Alistair Swales, senior vice president, U.K. sales, ADVA Optical Networking. "In
less than one month we've seen over 200 design requests from customers
interested in the new OSA service. This is simply unparalleled. Our R&D teams
are working closely with Openreach to ensure this new service fulfils its
promise and takes U.K. enterprise networking to previously unattainable heights.
For today's businesses and their mission-critical data, OSA is an imperative."
The FSP 3000 is a scalable Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system. It is
specifically designed for communications providers and large enterprises that
require a flexible, cost-effective system that will multiplex, transport and
protect high-speed data, storage, voice and video applications. The FSP 3000's
modular architecture, rack-mountable shelves, hot-swappable modules, universal
cards, transparent interfaces and qualifications with all leading Storage Area
Network (SAN) vendors enables Openreach to meet its customers' varied
requirements and to easily provision services of any standard protocol.
