Intelligent Transport Network

Intelligent Transport Network is architecture which is focused on the operators facing the increased demand for cloud services and DPC networks as data transfer rate in networks reaches a point in terabit.

The architecture of Intelligent Transport Network allows operators to increase quickly technical capabilities, providing to clients reliable and various services, at the same time reducing operating costs due to use of technologies of automation, scaling and convergence at the different levels of network.

Bases

The architecture of Intelligent Transport Network promotes quality improvement of customer service of network operators, using for creation of effective and capacious network of technology which are based on the following principles:

• scalability. Wide circulation of DPC, growth of popularity of "Big Data", active consumption of video content significantly change characteristics of the traffic transferred on operator networks. Intelligent Transport Network uses technology of FlexCoherent superchannels capacity of 500 Gbps and is capable to be scaled to terabit superchannels and terabit Ethernet eventually. As the architecture is based on reliable and effective optical integrated circuits, the intelligent transport network is capable to provide switching with a performance of several hundred terabits and to support hundreds of thousands of services;

• convergence. Networks become more complex as in process of their scaling there are new types of racks, new levels of network and a large number of fiber connections. In view of difficult architecture planning and deployment of new services takes more time; the operator at the same time faces increase in costs for technical support and operation of network and also at power supply, space and cooling of its infrastructure. Performing convergence of functions of packet data transmission, OTN switching and ROADM switching within architecture of Intelligent Transport Network, the solution Infinera simplifies architecture of network and also promotes cost reduction, without sacrificing at the same time performance;

• automation. Operators of networks are in conditions of fierce competition, trying to correspond to the growing customer needs concerning network transmission capacity, besides they need also understanding of the principles of its functioning. The architecture of Intelligent Transport Network assumes the intellectual control software for process automation of providing network at the different levels, including technology programmatically of the defined transport network (Transport Software Defined Network, SDN). Thanks to the automation equipment clients of network operators can independently control own network resources. Besides, it promotes growth of payback of services in process of growth of network thanks to such opportunities as Infinera Instant Bandwidth.

"We believe that Infinera creates the most advanced solutions in the industry which help our customers to strengthen the positions in the market, using intelligently managed resources of network transmission capacity — Dave Welch, the executive vice president and directors of strategic development in Infinera noted. — The architecture of Intelligent Transport Network is the evolution of the solution Digital Optical Network offering such opportunities as automatic management tools, convergence of several levels of network and scalable data transmission on superchannels. We are not engaged in modifications of outdated platforms 10G and 40G as our competitors. We created architecture of Intelligent Transport Network from scratch, already considering customer needs during "a terabit era"".
