(May 8) --(BUSINESS WIRE) Newly-Announced System is First to Combine Carrier-Class Features With Enterprise Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer Price/Performance
WHO: Atrica, Santa Clara, Calif., poised to be the leading
provider of Optical Ethernet equipment for the $15
billion Metro networking market.
WHAT: Atrica will demonstrate its recently-announced
Optical Ethernet System for the first time at the
Networld+Interop show. The Optical Ethernet System
is the first system purpose-built to handle the
requirements of service providers who are building the
next generation of Metro networks. Comprised of the
A-2100 Optical Ethernet Edge Switch, A-5100 Optical
Ethernet Aggregation Switch, A-8100 Optical Ethernet
Core Switch and the Ethernet Service and Network
Management System (ESNM), Atrica's Optical Ethernet
System delivers 10Gbps Ethernet technology and ten
times better price/performance than existing
SONET-based equipment. Most significantly, Atrica's
Optical Ethernet system delivers the key and -- until
now -- missing capabilities that enable carriers to
move from SONET to Optical Ethernet. These critical
features include cast-iron service level guarantees,
sub-second failure protection, integration with
circuit switched networks and service management that
meets and exceeds what carriers have been accustomed
to in SONET networks.
