ROADM Technology Drives Advanced Learning Applications
Norcross, Georgia, USA and Martinsried/Munich, Germany. November 8, 2011. BCNET,
a not-for-profit organization that runs one of the world's most advanced
regional research and education networks, announced today the deployment of the
ADVA FSP 3000 in its high-capacity infrastructure. Connecting over 140 research
and higher-education institutions, schools and colleges throughout British
Columbia, the diverse path, ring-configuration allows the shared IT services
organization to offer leading-edge network services to accelerate research,
collaboration and learning. Installed by Charter, one of Canada's fastest-
growing integrators, the new network is built on Reconfigurable Add/Drop
Multiplexers (ROADMs) providing BCNET with previously unattainable levels of
flexibility.
"This network creates more opportunities for British Columbia's students and
researchers than ever before," said Marilyn Hay, manager of network engineering.
"Distance learning, real-time collaboration and grid computing are just a few of
the data-intensive applications that are now supported with significantly higher
bandwidth. The key to success here is flexibility. We chose ADVA Optical
Networking because it offers ROADMs at price points where other vendors could
only offer fixed OADM solutions. This means we now have an incredibly flexible
infrastructure that delivers bandwidth to users when they need it, where they
need it."
Network flexibility and ease of use are critical elements of BCNET's new
deployment. To ensure maximum levels of configurability, Charter has equipped
all major network nodes with the ADVA FSP 3000 ROADM technology. These ROADM
nodes allow seamless interworking with BCNET's existing Juniper Networks(®) MX
3D Universal Edge Routers. Thanks to the interoperability of both vendors'
control planes, network operation can be automated and processes simplified.
"The research and education community are at the cutting edge of technology,"
commented John Scherzinger, senior vice president of sales in North America.
"They are continually pushing the boundaries of what networks can do. BCNET is
no different and it's incredible to see how it's driving forward British
Columbia's position within a global community of learning. By expanding its new
network on ROADM technology, BCNET is now able to move quicker than ever before.
Providing its students with bandwidth and data-intensive applications when and
where they need it will fundamentally change the way in which this learning
network shares, collaborates and interacts."
Working closely with BCNET engineers, Charter offered a solution based on
current network needs and future expansion plans. "Our emphasis has consistently
been on the customer and delivering the right network solution," commented Paul
Chandler, president of Charter. "We know the importance of technology to the
network and we understand that this technology brings great opportunities to the
network users. As a long-term partner, we have been able to design a network
with BCNET that will grow with the organization and will dramatically alter the
tools for online collaboration and learning."
