The Arista OSFP-LS is a highly compact, low power and
cost-effective solution for increasing bandwidth between data
centers without the need for external optical line systems. The
Arista OSFP-LS collapses legacy optical line systems into an OSFP
module which can be plugged into any Arista OSFP port, supporting
up to 8 DWDM wavelengths with a single fiber pair, and delivering
up to 3.2Tbps of DCI traffic over 100km.
“The OSFP-LS is far easier to deploy than conventional external
line systems that require their own power feed and control
management software while consuming valuable rack space.
Interconnecting two data center sites with DWDM becomes as simple
as connecting two switch ports,” said Hacene Chaouch, Distinguished
Engineer, Arista Networks.
Simplicity and Speed
The OSFP-LS line system was purposely conceived and designed for
the support of 400G ZR digital coherent optics. Customers building
400G-ZR DCI and metro networks achieve the following key benefits
with OSFP-LS:
- Reduced space, power and cost
- Automatic setup with no operator configuration required
- Consistent EOS® monitoring and control of both 400G ZR and
OSFP-LS
- Lower opex by leveraging a fully collapsed WDM Transport
system
Availability
The OSFP-LS is in testing and qualification now with
availability in 2H 2020. Contact Arista for further information and
pricing.
