Data Center Interconnectivity

Enterprise networks have latency-sensitive applications making business continuity and reliable interconnectivity paramount between the primary and secondary data center or storage area networks (SAN). Fujitsu ultra low-latency solutions provide guaranteed optical network connections using WDM, ensuring uninterrupted access to your data even in times of network failure or disaster recovery.

Our FLASHWAVE® 7420 WDM platform provides the high performance required for synchronous SAN applications, such as business continuity, disaster recovery, moving VMs, HPC clustering, high-volume transaction processing, and video transport. The platform supports all existing and emerging protocols and data rates required by SANs such as Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON), and Fiber Connection (FICON). You’ll enjoy the fastest possible connectivity across your WAN as well as these other benefits:

• End-to-end low latency
• Zero packet loss
• Ultra-high bandwidth up to 3.2 Tb/s
• Flexible, multiprotocol SAN support across the WAN

Business Location to Data Center WAN Connectivity

Enterprises with multiple locations want an easy, cost-effective way to connect their expanding WAN and data centers without protocol conversion to store, retrieve and present data. They need low-latency, high-bandwidth packet-based network connections to provide real-time access to information such as medical images, large video files and quick recovery of archived data.

Our network solutions enable a seamless migration to a packet-based infrastructure which is highly reliable, manageable, scalable and accommodates diverse, bandwidth-intensive services. The Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 9500 delivers high-performance packet optical and DWDM services using a flexible and modular chassis. It can aggregate and switch Connection-Oriented Ethernet (COE) across many types of access networks (EoX) on a single network element. This EoX gateway configuration allows you to consolidate your diverse WAN equipment to a single, unified packet optical networking platform which reduces power consumption, space requirements, network complexity and operational expenses. Overall, our solutions offer these valuable business benefits and technical advantages:

• Low latency and zero packet loss
• Guaranteed bandwidth while supporting frequent traffic bursts
• EoX gateway (Ethernet over any transport) delivering Ethernet WAN/services over any transport network
• High-density aggregation
• 100G available for high-bandwidth data center transport applications
• Single management system, NETSMART 1500, simplifies network-wide operations
