HIGH DENSITY DESIGN

SOLUTION BRIEF

No matter how sophisticated networks become, deployment in

real network scenarios is often ultimately limited by the availability

of space and power.

Today’s packet-optical systems provide a broad range of Layer 1 and

Layer 2 service capabilities, which can consolidate optical transport

and Ethernet switching into a single platform.

But space and power requirements in these packet-optical systems

are becoming increasingly challenging as more advanced functionality

is needed while costs are squeezed harder in operators’ networks.

Infinera has introduced industry-leading high-density capabilities with

a new Hex family of plug-in units to the XTM Series that provide 50

percent higher density than the previous Quad versions. This family

of cards supports up to 96 transponders in a single chassis and power

consumption as low as 5 watts (W) per transponder.

The Infinera XTM Series has always been at the forefront of metro

networking, with a particular focus on economics in all network

locations from compact access nodes to large metro-core nodes.

Our heritage includes some of the most compact and lowest-power

solutions in the industry. This legacy is important to Infinera, and

the company has maintained this edge with some of the densest

solutions in the industry today, offering power savings of up to 75

percent compared to some competitors’ solutions.

Why Are High Density Design and Low Power Design Important to Network Operators?

All network operators face challenges when it comes to space and

power, but the specifics vary from operator to operator. To all, power

consumption is important as this is a major contributor to ongoing

operational expenditure, especially when you consider that any

savings are compounded when in-building air conditioning is taken

into consideration.

Any savings in equipment power consumption can typically

be increased by 30 to 50 percent when lower air conditioning

requirements are taken into account, as lower power systems generate

less heat and therefore require less cooling.

All operators also have views on the relative importance of space to

their operations. They all need to ensure that they get the maximum

possible from every inch of space, but to those who use colocation

space or those reaching the limits of existing available capacity, this

is of critical importance. This can occur in data centers, central offices

and access/customer premise locations.

A further aspect of the space/power equation is the need to ensure

that as solutions become denser, power consumption is controlled so

that it doesn’t lead to situations in which any possible increased power

consumption requirements don’t force operators into expensive

power upgrade cycles.

The Infinera Heritage in Metro-focused Networks

The metro-focused heritage of Infinera has led to a number of key

architectural decisions that enable operators to maximize available

space and power within networks.

First, the Infinera XTM Series is available in a range of chassis sizes, all

of which support common families of plug-in units, enabling operators

to right-size nodes to meet local traffic requirements.

Second, each plug-in unit is designed with low power design require-

ments from the start. This is a claim

made by most system vendors, but

low-power performance varies consid-

erably across the industry, and the In-

finera XTM Series-based solutions can

save as much as 75 percent of the power

required by some competitors for

comparable configurations.

This is achieved through the use of a simpler chassis/system design

that does not use a complex backplane for all slots regardless of

actual traffic demands, and through a design process for plug-in

units that has low power consumption as a key requirement right

from the start.

Infinera is proud of the company’s high density design and low power

design achievements and encourages customers and prospects to

carefully compare offerings from vendors to ensure they get the best

performance in these areas within their networks.

Recent Innovations that Enhance the Infinera Leading Density Capabilities

Advances in optical and component technology have allowed Infinera

to make two significant steps in further enhancing higher density and

lowering power consumption in optical networking.

First, Infinera has developed a range of Hex 10 Gb/s transponders

as part of the XTM Series that contain six independent transponder

functions within a single plug-in unit. Using small form-factor

pluggable (SFP) + optics, compact design and highly efficient thermal

cooling, this range of units provides industry-leading density and

low power consumption.

In addition, Infinera launched the industry’s first all-pluggable 100G

metro solution supporting coherent optics. Using the new pluggable

optics for 100 Gb/s services, this solution also provides industry-

leading density and low power consumption.

optical solutions

The Hex 10 Gb/s Family

Comprising two plug-in units, the 10 Gb/s Hex family provides a broad range of capabilities and covers a wide range of services. The range comprises a Hex 10 Gb/s transparent transponder that supports ultra-low latency for all services from STM-4/OC-12 to FC-16, as well as one transponders supporting 10 Gb/s services such as Fibre Channel, synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)/synchronous optical network (SONET), optical transport network (OTN) and Ethernet using OTN framing.

These single-width plug-in units enable up to 16 units to be installed in a TM-3000 chassis, allowing up to 96 independent 10 Gb/s transponder functions within 11 rack units (RU). That’s 960 Gb/s of total capacity within the chassis and a density of over 87 Gb/s per RU which is industry leading for 10 Gb/s services.

With a power draw of as low as 30 W for a Hex 10 Gb/s transparent transponder fully equipped with all pluggable optics, this also gives power consumption of as low as 5 W per fully equipped 10 Gb/s transponder, which is also industry-leading.

One example of the Hex transponders, featuring six transponder functions in a single slot unit.

Real-world Examples

Let’s now look at some real-world scenarios in which these new

solutions can be deployed, all characterized by high density and

low-power capabilities:

• 40-channel 10 Gb/s solution in one single-chassis configuration

• 80-channel 10 Gb/s solution in a two-chassis configuration

• Ultra-dense 80-channel 10 Gb/s solution in one single-chassis

configuration

• Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) and packet-

optical transport switch (EMXP) in a convergence example of

80-channel 10 Gb/s ring configuration

• 80-channel 100 Gb/s – 8 terabits – example in a four-rack configuration

HIGH DENSITY DESIGN

40-channel 10 Gb/s – Single-chassis Solution

Using only seven Hex transponders to support the 40 10 Gb/s services, the TM-3000 still has plenty of room to support all other necessary units for sophisticated point-to-point applications.

There is space for a 40-channel filter, two amplifiers, an optical channel monitor, an optical supervisory unit and even optical interleavers to enable a future hitless upgrade to higher channel counts. There are also spare slots for flexibility should plans change.

• Complete 40x10 Gb/s network elements in 11 RU

• Less than 300 W power consumption in card cage*

• Seven transponders (6x10 Gb/s in each)

• Prepared for hitless upgrade beyond 40 channels

Intermediate amplifier sites can be supported with the TM-301 (3 RU) chassis containing amplifiers and all other necessary components.

If the intermediate site has data communications network (DCN) access and the optical supervisory channels are not needed, then the intermediate amplifier site can be supported with a highly compact TM-102 (1 RU) chassis, which then only draws 27 W in the card cage.

80-channel 10 Gb/s – Two-chassis Solution

As the 40 x 10 Gb/s configuration is pre-equipped with optical interleaver units to enable a hitless upgrade to higher capacity, it is simple to extend this configuration to 80 channels.

A second TM-3000 chassis is required to support the additional transponders and the second 40-channel filter taking the space requirement to 22 RU.

• Complete 80x10 Gb/s network elements in 22 RU

• ~500 W power consumption for two card cages*

• 14 transponders (6x10 Gb/s in each)

• Free slots for upgrade to 100 Gb/s traffic units

Again, this configuration has all necessary components for sophisticated point-to-point networks and has plenty of space to accommodate changes in plans, such as upgrades to 100 Gb/s.

*Card cage figures are used here as these plug-in units can be deployed in any existing XTM Series chassis. These may have various power supply, controller unit and cooling fan options. The total power consumption of the chassis will therefore be slightly higher than these card cage figures that are common to all of the various chassis options.

Packet-optical Convergence

Infinera is a leader in the move to packet-optical convergence in metro

networks via the XTM Series Native Packet Optical 2.0 architecture.

From a density and power perspective, this trend in general should

be positive for all vendors as two types of equipment are being

merged into a single platform that should save space and power.

However, the XTM Series’ low power design and high density design

emphasis has pushed this further with the EXMP family of very

compact Layer 2 packet-optical transport switches, which can provide

up to 220 Gb/s of Ethernet switching with embedded transponder

functions into a double-slot unit.

The EMXP also provides very low power consumption when compared

to an architecture in which Layer 1 and Layer 2 functions are separated

in different units as well as when compared to competitive solutions.

HIGH DENSITY DESIGN

Ultra-dense 80-channel 10 Gb/s – Single-chassis Solution

In simpler point-to-point networks, such as within data center interconnect networks, some of the functionality included above is not needed and it is possible to optimize the space usage even further.

These networks may not require amplifiers if the distance is less than 80 kilometers (km). If there are no intermediate amplifier sites, then the optical supervisory units aren’t required and neither is the optical channel monitor as per-wavelength power balancing isn’t required.

This leaves a simple configuration with just 14 Hex transponders, two optical filters and two optical interleavers to support all 80 channels. If we utilize the 40-channel filters from the XTG Series range, then it is possible to fit all remaining components within a single TM-3000 chassis as shown below.

• Complete 800 Gb/s (80x10 Gb/s) network elements in 13 RU (11 + 1 + 1)

• ~450 W power consumption in card cage*

• Active transponders in a TM-3000/II chassis

• 40-channel mux/demux units (MDUs) using rack-mounted XTG Series filters

• Ideal for data center interconnects

The XTG Series filters are fully managed by the Infinera Enlighten® multi-layer management suite, so there is no loss of functionality with the move to these filters.

Convergence Example – ROADM and EMXP 80-channel 10 Gb/s Ring Configuration

As an example of packet-optical convergence, the configuration below combines the EMXP 120 with 12 10 Gb/s ports and the XTM Series ROADM-based flexible optical networking architecture to create a highly flexible ring node.

The node supports all necessary functions, such as optical channel monitoring and optical supervisor channels along with colorless and directionless ROADM-based optical switching and EMXP-based Ethernet switching.

• Colorless, directionless, two-dimensional ROADM configuration in a single 11 RU chassis

• Less than 370 W power consumption in card cage*

• 160 Gb/s (16x10 GbE-LAN) add/drop using EMXP120/IIE

Keeping Fuse Rates Low

There are two aspects of power consumption that are very important

to network operators.

The first is the power consumption of any specific configuration,

such as those discussed in this solution brief.

The second is one that is often overlooked by many when making

power consumption comparisons: the fuse rating that a chassis

requires on Day 1, regardless of the installed or planned plug-in units.

Here the XTM Series can also offer network operators significant

advantages and savings. As optical systems become more complex

with more functionality and higher capacity, there is a trend to higher

power consumption within the chassis even if the power per bit

transmitted is lower than previous generations of technology. This

can lead to very high fuse ratings on the chassis on Day 1, regardless

of intended configuration, and high-rating fused supplies can be

scarce, costly or both.

As the XTM Series offers a range of chassis sizes, operators can right-

size a node for the intended use both in terms of space and fuse rating.

Furthermore, these chassis options all draw lower total power than

competing solutions and therefore use lower-rated fused supplies.

Fiber Management

Many network operators have fiber handling procedures that need

to be considered when planning how to handle the large volume of

fibers used in dense 10 Gb/s configurations. This means that in some

scenarios, additional fiber management components are required.

However, detailed analysis with network operators has shown that it

is still possible to manage such situations. For example, it is possible

to fit two of the highly dense single-chassis 80-channel 10 Gb/s

configurations within a standard rack once the necessary fiber trays

for slack fiber management and optical distribution frames have

been included.

Summary

High density design and low power design have been core to the

development of the XTM Series right from the start, and it has a

long track record in providing industry-leading solutions in terms of

both density and power consumption.

Now that packet-optical systems are

becoming more complex in terms

of functionality and traffic levels are

jumping higher and higher, these high-

density and low-power characteristics

of packet-optical solutions are becom-

ing ever more important.

Every rack unit of space saved saves

money and/or delays the next upgrade

to more space. Every watt of power

saved saves money, lowers air condi-

tioning requirements and avoids or delays expensive power upgrades,

which all have a positive impact on the environment.

HIGH DENSITY DESIGN

“ For all my years of deploying networks, I know that real deployments ultimately come down to two questions – available space and power.”
