Wave2Wave Solution introduced a line of robotic optical switches for automating physical fiber connections in high-density data centers.
The Wave2Wave “ROME” Robotic Optical Management Engine platforms, which are offered in three sizes, enable full control of physical fiber connections, allowing changes to be made automatically, remotely, quickly, and without manual intervention. The robotic systems are designed in 19-inch chassis. The company said its system can be integrated with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) or network management software.
“Today’s digital trends are putting pressure on data centers, and even more pressure on the network architects who design and upgrade them,” said David Wang, founder and CEO of Wave2Wave. “ROME is a game-changing tool. It reduces the physical cabling in the traditional data center infrastructure by more than 10 times, allowing flexibility, intelligence and control that never existed before.”
ROME 500 is now available worldwide, and ROME 1000 and 2000 will become available in the second half of 2016.
