ADVISORY/ONI Systems to Speak about Metro All-Optical Networking and Service Solutions for Communications Providers.News/Assignment Editors and High-Tech Writers OPTICON 2000 Advisory...for Monday (July 31) --(BUSINESS WIRE) OPTICON 2000, The Event for the Lighting Up the Optical Networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. Revolution, Features a Session on Fibre Channel and SANs Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (Born April 30, 1987, in Bansod, Nagpur) is an Indian cricketer. Sharma is a right-handed middle-order batsman and occasional right-armed offbreak bowler. Coming through the ranks, having played under-17 and under-19 cricket for India, Sharma impressed in the under-19 , vice president of Optical Hardware Development at ONI ONI abbr. Office of Naval Intelligence Noun 1. ONI - the military intelligence agency that provides for the intelligence and counterintelligence and investigative and security requirements of the United States Navy Systems(TM) Corp. (Nasdaq:ONIS), will be a featured speaker addressing the issue of metro all-optical networking A communications network that works completely in the optical domain. It uses optical switches connected by optical fibers. See optical switch and optical computer. and service solutions for communications providers at OPTICON 2000. Topics covered include storage solution challenges, such as broadband broadband Term describing the radiation from a source that produces a broad, continuous spectrum of frequencies (contrasted with a laser, which produces a single frequency or very narrow range of frequencies). Fibre Channel switch In a computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel fabric, that is currently the core component of most storage area networks. connectivity and backup for disaster recovery over distances. This application is inefficient and expensive to solve with SONET-based network infrastructures, especially since it was designed to support voice and private line services. Sharma will discuss the evolution of service delivery in the all-optical metro network environment, the creation of an evolutionary architecture that takes advantage of rapid growth revenue potentials through dynamic provisioning, flexible service interfaces, and reduced operations and maintenance costs to deliver end-to-end services in metro optical networks.
