Optix products suite passes interoperability test

Huawei's Optix Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer (DWDM) products suite has passed interoperability testing for IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex and Server Time Protocol systems.

Huawei Optix products are now certified to extend the reach of data centres running GDPS/STP applications by up to 200km with IBM System z mainframes1.

Huawei products are now also certified for client use in GDPS environments to split transaction workloads across different sites or plan a disaster recovery process to avoid business disruption.

Many large enterprises now implement system and storage redundancy with high availability, business assurance, and disaster recovery capabilities to reduce any impairment resulting from planned and unplanned outages.

The Huawei Optix DWDM series supports traditional ETR (External Time Reference) CLO (Control Link Oscillator) and the latest STP systems, reducing the number of wavelengths required and extending the transmission distance.

These technical features allow enterprises to further simplify their network structure and lower operating costs.

Huawei Optix DWDM series products support all typical storage protocols interfaces including ESCON, GbE, ISC-3 (STP), ETR/CLO, FC/FICON 1G/2G/4G.

Huawei's Optix DWDM solution enables one wavelength to transport up to eight channels of ISC services or eight channels of intermixed services, including ISC and FC/FICON/GbE Services based on leading TDM (time-division multiplexing) technologies.

This also reduces the use of wavelengths and therefore reduces investment.
