ADVA FSP 3000
With ROADM Technology Connects Polish Supercomputing Center to
CERN
Poznan, Poland.
April 11, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking today announced that
the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) has
deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 with 100Gbit/s core technology in its
PIONIER network. PIONIER, one of Europe's largest research and
education networks, links high-performance computer centers in five
cities across Poland, as well as connecting the country to the
European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. The
new 96-channel 100Gbit/s coherent long-haul solution enables
Europe's scientific community to share enormous data sets and
collaborate using advanced high-bandwidth applications.
Installation and maintenance work was conducted by Alma SA, the
Polish systems integrator and long-term ADVA Optical Networking
partner.
"Upgrading PIONIER to 100Gbit/s
connectivity is a huge boost to research and education institutions
across Europe. This incredibly powerful and dynamic long-haul
network built on the ADVA FSP 3000 will help to accelerate the
cycle of scientific discovery," said Maciej Stroinski, technical
director, PSNC. "Now, research centers including CERN, home to the
world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, can
quickly and efficiently transport huge sets of data to
supercomputers where it can be analyzed. With such an enormous
increase in broadband capacity, scientists and academics will be
able to further push the boundaries of what's possible from
advances in particle physics to understanding the origins of our
universe."
The new fully redundant
GMPLS-based network connects Polish supercomputing centers in
Poznan, Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw. It features 96 channels
and has a reach of more than 3,466km without signal regeneration.
As well as ADVA FSP 3000 core transport technology, the solution
utilizes ADVA Optical Networking's colorless, directionless and
flexgrid multi-degree ROADMs. These create remote cross-connections
on the optical layer to boost availability and simplify operations.
PIONIER was one of the first national academic networks in Europe
to leverage its own 10Gbit/s dark fiber network. Now, all links in
the meshed infrastructure can transport 100Gbit/s and the modular
design of the ADVA FSP 3000 means the network is ready to scale to
400Gbit/s and beyond in the future.
"Our technology is helping to
propel international collaboration and scientific exploration. By
working closely with PSNC and our partner ALMA SA, we've created a
reliable, dynamic and ultra-fast network that will enable many of
the world's most innovative research teams to realize their
technological ambitions," commented Ardashes Garabedian, senior
sales manager, Eastern Europe and CIS, ADVA Optical Networking.
"Our FSP 3000 combines agile core transport functionality with
massive scalability and superb ease of use. It will be a vital tool
in some of the world's most advanced research projects. Also key
are our directionless, colorless and gridless ROADMs, which will
give researchers the power to quickly and easily set up new
services, providing even more freedom for exploration and
discovery."
