Core Routing & Optical

Developing an appropriate routing architecture in the network core is key to operational success. By properly utilizing technologies like BGP, Segment Routing and MPLS, to name a few, a network will be positioned for flexibility and availability. Deploying an optical solution helps networks maximize the use of their existing fiber plant and cover long distances in high-demand service areas with little to no disruption. This is the literal backbone of your network. With the use of routed and pluggable optics, a combination of these two elements turns into a converged packet optical architecture. This is the basis of a modern, modular and automated network. 

You can improve clarity and visibility on your network by being:

• Modular
• Resilient
• Fault-tolerant
• Proactive
• Smart about segmentation
• Utilizing Automation / AI

Designing for Failure and Building a Redundant Network

No matter how much you prepare, outages will happen, but it comes down to how you will recover.

Designing for failure means creating a flexible, intelligent, and predictable network with built-in redundancies, proactive alerts, and automation tools integrated with a comprehensive set of processes. By implementing this practice, you can prevent outages, minimize outage impact, uphold your reputation, and protect your revenue.
