Cisco Routers - Cisco ONS 15454 SONET/SDH Multiservice Provisioning Pla

The Cisco ONS 15454 MSPP (Figures 1 and 2) helps enable service provider and enterprise customers to build robust, scalable, multiservice transport networks to support their metropolitan-area (metro) or regional, public, and private communication needs (Figure 3). The Cisco ONS 15454 is the first in its class to consolidate SONET/SDH, dense WDM (DWDM) transmission, Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet-processing functions, and storage area network (SAN) transport with the intelligence of an IP-based management plane in a single, cost-effective platform. Designed for metro and regional networks, the Cisco ONS 15454 offers a wide mixture of data, voice, and video service interfaces, efficient bandwidth aggregation, and scalable transport bandwidth from 155 Mbps (OC-3/STM-1) to 10 Gbps (OC-192/STM-64) and integrated DWDM transmission for continued network scalability. The Cisco ONS 15454 provides operational simplicity by taking advantage of an integrated, network-based GUI, the Cisco Transport Controller, to simplify the setup, provisioning, and maintenance of the transport network. A powerful element management system (EMS), the Cisco Transport Manager assists with monitoring the optical network\'s health and allows integration to operations support systems (OSSs) and network management systems (NMS). In addition, the Cisco Transport Planner DWDM network design tool streamlines the formerly manual task of system modeling with a simple-to-use GUI with time-saving network-activation capabilities such as cabling diagrams and network element parameter uploads to the Cisco Transport Controller. With such advanced capabilities plus the management and planning tools, the Cisco ONS 15454 will provide the foundation for growing your communications infrastructure.
