Data and hosting center managers need to make their networks do more. They need:
- More bandwidth
- More reliability
- More flexibility
- More More capability at a lower cost
More Bandwidth
Polatis optical switches not only have the lowest loss of any optical switch on the market (0.9dB typical insertion loss, 1.8dB maximum insertion loss on an 80x80 switch), they also are 100G ready today. That means that network and hosting center managers can use Polatis technology to migrate networks from today’s 1G and 10G technology to tomorrow’s 40G and 100G speeds. Polatis optical switches can be used to augment existing Layer 1 lower speed switches and patch panels as well as integrate with high density storage devices. Additionally, Polatis optical switches can be used to include dark fiber assets in automatic protection schemes, providing additional bandwidth during peak times or increasing wide area network diversity.
Polatis optical switches can help data and hosting center managers get more bandwidth from their network investments.
More Reliability
Polatis optical switches are built to last – and to deliver the capabilities that can make data and hosting center networks even more reliable. Polatis technology enables data and hosting centers to increase network reliability through:
- Layer One Automatic Protection Switching (APS) with dark fiber integration for wide area network diversity during peak periods or because of a network outage
- Integrated, centralized, automated monitoring and test equipment integration for faster and more efficient problem identification and resolution
- Automated fiber distribution systems that augment or replace existing Layer 1 switches and manual patch panels. Polatis optical switches deliver centralized add, move, change features and network load balancing that reduce human errors and increase network uptime.
Using just one, or all of the capabilities of Polatis technology, enables data and hosting centers to get more reliability from their network investments.
More Flexibility
Polatis optical switches can do a lot – in small, power-saving standalone and OEM form factors. Not only can they enable a variety of optical connectivity options – like APS, integrated network monitoring and testing and automated fiber distribution; they also can accommodate any speed (including 100G) and any protocol – anywhere and anytime.
Additionally, Polatis low price points and diverse form factors make it easy to integrate optical switch technology into an almost unlimited range of applications, equipment, and management platforms.
Polatis optical switches can help data and hosting centers get more flexibility from their network investments.
More Capability at a Lower Cost
More bandwidth (at a lower cost per Gbps), more reliability, more flexibility – they all add up to more capability at a much lower cost for data and hosting centers. When coupled with Polatis low insertion, operations, maintenance, and upgrade costs; it all adds up to fewer dollars spent delivering a greater number of services.
Polatis optical switches help data and hosting centers get more capability at a lower cost from their network investments.
