Network Strategy Partners Study Analyzes Total Cost of Ownership of Matisse Networks EtherBurst Optical Switch
Posted on: Wednesday, 25 April 2007, 12:00 CDT
CONCORD, Mass., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by Network Strategy Partners (NSP) compares the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a Metro optical aggregation network built using ROADMs (Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers) with one using Matisse Networks' EtherBurst Optical Switch.
According to the study (Total Cost of Ownership Analysis of Matisse Networks EtherBurst Optical Switch), as bandwidth demand scales to 10 Gbps and beyond, the relative savings with EtherBurst continue to increase when compared against ROADM systems for metro Ethernet optical transport networks.
"Though ROADMs are conceptually well suited to accommodate high bandwidth and unpredictable traffic characteristics, current product implementations limit ROADMs to dependence on circuit-based design." said NSP's Michael Kennedy, Managing Partner and author of the study. "Matisse Networks' EtherBurst Optical Switch overcomes these product limitations by employing optical burst switching technology to scale metro aggregation network bandwidth up to 640 Gbps."
Three network scenarios are analyzed-Carrier Ethernet, Triple Play and a Converged Network offering both Carrier Ethernet and Triply play aggregation. The study models traffic requirements across a typical metro aggregation network, estimates Total Cost of Ownership and then identifies the sources of reduced cost.
Study Highlights EtherBurst has ... -- 40% less TCO for the optical systems in a metro aggregation network dedicated to Carrier Ethernet services. -- 48% less TCO for a metro aggregation network dedicated to Triple Play service delivery. -- 50% less TCO when delivering both Carrier Ethernet and Triple Play
CapEx savings are primarily due to optical burst switching's more efficient utilization of optical transport capacity for packet services.
