An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. (German Neuer Markt: ADV ADV Advertisement ADV Adverb ADV Advance/Advanced ADV Advantage (tennis) ADV Advise ADV Advocate ADV Advancement ADV Advent ADV Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Datenverarbeitung ADV Adversus (Latin: Against) ), a leading global provider of optical networking solutions, today announced successful interoperability of its FSP FSP - File Service Protocol 2000 with EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. Corporation's Symmetrix(R) and CLARiiON(R) information storage systems. This E-Lab Tested(TM) qualification by EMC enables enterprises and carriers to deploy the ADVA solution into EMC environments with assurance from both EMC and ADVA technical support resources. Leading applications for the interoperability include business continuance, data center consolidation, and high-speed remote storage area networks (SANs). Chuck Hollis, EMC's Vice President of Markets and Products said, "EMC's E-Lab Tested qualification process is a series of exhaustive performance and reliability tests to ensure the interoperability of all components that make up a multi-vendor information storage network. E-Lab Tested assures customers that ADVA's latest metro platform is fully interoperable with EMC information storage systems, enabling customers to deploy heterogeneous storage networks quickly, reliably and cost-effectively." Anne Skamarock, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Management Associates added, "Finding a high performance, reliable and economical delivery system is critical to meeting the demands of storage area networking for disaster recovery applications. The FSP 2000 is a leading choice. EMC's recent qualification of this new platform provides end users with service interoperability assurances to confidently deploy storage networks across the metropolitan area." EMC conducts the industry's most comprehensive testing, guaranteeing customers the highest level of interoperability assurance. This EMC E-Lab qualification is another major step in a series of storage interoperability results to be added to ADVA's ADVAntage Qualification Program.

ABOUT ADVA FSP 2000 The FSP 2000 is a flexible, cost-effective optical networking platform designed expressly for enterprise and storage networking applications that require multiplexing multiplexing, in communication, technique whereby two or more independent messages, or information-bearing signals, are carried by a single common medium, or channel. and transport over distances up to 200 kilometers The system combines the advantages of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing See WDM. (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) to offer a scalable solution that supports 256 applications over a single fiber pair. The FSP 2000 was launched in the second quarter 2001 as the next generation product to the highly successful FSP-I and FSP-II platforms, which had over 10,000 WDM (1) (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) A technology that uses multiple lasers and transmits several wavelengths of light (lambdas) simultaneously over a single optical fiber. channels installed.
