ADVA Optical Networking 100G Solution Connects Citywide Hubs
Chicago, Illinois, USA. December 6, 2016. ADVA Optical Networking today
announced that Columbia College Chicago has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 in a
100Gbit/s optical transport network. The new infrastructure frees Columbia
College Chicago from reliance on managed services and enables it to offer
internet-based e-learning classes. The integrated DWDM system, which connects
all 10 of the liberal arts college's campus sites, is safeguarded by low-latency
Layer 1 traffic protection. It will also be maintained, monitored and supported
by ADVA Optical Networking's network operating center (NOC). The new
infrastructure was implemented by Illinois-based IT solution provider Netrix
LLC, a close partner of ADVA Optical Networking.
"Building and owning our own network will bring significant cost savings over
time. But what's most exciting are the new opportunities we'll be able to give
to our 9,500 students," said Mark Las, director, infrastructure services,
Columbia College Chicago. "Now we have the flexibility to add capacity in an
instant, so if a department requires more bandwidth then it's immediately at
their fingertips. Reliable, high-speed data transmission is also essential for
the exciting program of online e-learning courses that we're starting to offer.
It provides our students with access to research and educational resources from
any of the 10 sites on campus with great flexibility and reliability. Now they
can easily download video, music and other media-rich content and collaborate
with each other in real-time."
The installation involves 40 channel filters with two active data centers linked
by a protected 100Gbit/s core. The network is built with ADVA FSP 3000 DWDM
100Gbit/s channel modules. Just one fiber pair is used throughout the new
infrastructure to connect all of Columbia College Chicago's campus sites in a
10-node ring topology. Not only does this simple architecture save fiber and
keep project costs low, but it also makes the network more robust and easier to
manage. A ring network at Layer 1 provides low-latency traffic protection and
diverse routing to fully protect the system in the event of a primary link
failure. Complete network surveillance and assurance is provided by expert
personnel at ADVA Optical Networking's NOC facility.
"Openness and teamwork were key ingredients in this project. Through close
collaboration we've helped to build a true best-of-breed solution," commented
Thomas R. Browne, senior director, sales, North America, ADVA Optical
Networking. "Today's arts and media students increasingly need to use high-
bandwidth applications so it's essential that the college has fast reliable
connectivity and the agility to provision new channels. With our 100G optical
transport technology, Columbia College Chicago can guarantee access to the
services their learners need. And, with the long-term support we're giving them,
they'll be able to keep pace with bandwidth demand and empower the next
generation of media professionals and artists."
