Constant demand for more – more compute, more storage , and more bandwidth

Moving from localized data center to multipoint meshed data centers / cloud paradigm

Data center power and space limitations require multiple data centers to be built

Why Do We Need Long-Haul Connectivity?

36% of data centers respondents said their facility would run out of power, cooling

or space in 2012; 60% claimed they would need to build new data center(s) and

perform upgrade over the next 3 years *

Data recovery / business continuity utilizing remote sites

• Active-active data center

• Synchronous / 0 RPO (Recovery Point Objective)

- High bandwidth

- Low latency

- Management (SM) high availability

• Relatively short distances 30 - 50km
