Learn how to get more from dark fiber: The business case for 8G FC embedded DWDM

Of all the methods available for corporate data centers and campuses to connect traffic and replicate data between sites, the majority depend on the availability of a dark fiber network. If fiber is available (either owned or leased) it’s possible to run a private network to connect sites together. If it’s not available, the choice is limited to a carrier offering a managed service for the number of required channels of Ethernet, storage, voice or video.

This white paper compares individual ELWL (extra-long wavelength) circuits, an active transponder based DWDM solution, and a carrier managed service to a solution based on embedded DWDM.
