The Challenge & the Outcome
ASOM-Net deployed OcNOS-powered white box switches in conjunction with Smartoptics’ DCP-F modular amplifiers to embed 400G ZR+ directly into the switches, optimizing network efficiency and reach.
Outcome: By combining IP Infusion’s flexible and scalable OcNOS on white box switches with Smartoptics’ compact and efficient optical network elements, ASOM-Net has achieved a network architecture that not only delivers exceptional performance but also significantly reduces operational costs.
ResourcesThe disaggregated networking solution allows us to break free from the locked-in approach of traditional network systems. Now we have the flexibility to pick and choose best-of-breed network elements for every layer of the network. This is crucial for us to deliver the best value at a low cost to our members, as we are a not-for-profit business. We also greatly appreciate the innovative approach of IP Infusion and how it complements Smartoptics, improving cost efficiency with a compact form factor and highly efficient 400G ZR+ pluggable technology.Kristian Pedersen, System Architect, ASOM-Net
