Multi-Layer Solution Demonstrates Automated Service Provisioning and Restoration
While Driving Down Costs
Munich, Germany. July 10, 2012. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that
Telefonica has successfully trialed a new automated multi-layer network in
northern Germany. Built upon the ADVA FSP 3000 and Juniper Networks(®) MX Series
3D Universal Edge Routers, the new network uses ROADM technology, RAYcontrol
GMPLS control plane software and multi-layer configuration mechanisms developed
in the IST project ONE, funded by the European Union. During the course of the
trial, Telefonica I+D, ADVA Optical Networking and Juniper Networks collaborated
with European universities to enable multi-layer restoration and automated DWDM
service provisioning between IP/MPLS routers. The trial enabled Telefonica to
verify the significant potential for reduced operational and capital
expenditures while driving new levels of speed and efficiency.
"This trial really showcases the potential of new multi-layer networks," said
Juan Fernandez-Palacios, Head of Core Network Evolution at Telefonica I+D -
Global CTO Unit. "The level of simplicity and automation that we were able to
achieve was incredible. We now have the opportunity to activate new services in
seconds; previously this could take hours. What's more, we're also able to
verify the drastic reduction in OPEX and CAPEX that such a streamlined multi-
layer setup will deliver in our network. This trial provides a clear
understanding of what tomorrow's networks will look like."
According to Telefonica I+D analysis, multi-layer restoration led to over 37%
reductions in capital expenditures in IP/DWDM networks. In addition, mean time
to repair can be extended by a factor of 20 while keeping 99.999% availability,
which translates to significant reductions in operating costs. However, the
biggest impact was seen in the provisioning of new services. Telefonica
discovered that new services could be activated in less than 50 seconds.
Previously this could take hours and was both costly and time intensive.
"The network is undergoing a huge transformation," commented Christoph
Glingener, CTO at ADVA Optical Networking. "This trial perfectly underlines the
opportunities available to service providers to balance customer demand for
bandwidth while at the same driving increased profitability and new business
opportunities. Network automation is critical to this process and Telefonica has
shown just how simple and effective unified multi-layer operations can be."
"We've built something special with ADVA Optical Networking and Telefonica,"
said Luc Ceuppens, vice president product marketing, Platform and Systems
Division at Juniper Networks. "It's not just architecting a new network, it's
creating a new understanding of what tomorrow's network can be, -all with lower
OPEX, lower CAPEX, and faster service provisioning. The network of the future
has to do more than we've ever imagined and this trial showcases just how simple
it can be."
