Innovations enabling next generation IP+Optical End-to-End Automation / Orchestration Silicon No Trade-Off: Both Performance + Intelligence High Bandwidth for Video vs. High Transaction Rate for SDN Custom NPUs & Fabrics Coherent Optical DSPs Silicon Photonics (SiP) Systems Common Technology Foundation for CapEx & OpEx Savings Converged IP + Optical Unified Access Investments Integrated DWDM Multi-layer Restoration Touchless ROADM Software Applications and Services Move into the Cloud Virtualization for Scale SDN for Control and Efficiency Virtual OS Virtual Network Function Open Interface Cisco Confidential 6
TouchLess ROADM Complete Control in Software, No Physical Intervention Required Omni-Directional ROADM ports are not direction specific (re-route does not require fiber move) Flex Spectrum Ability to provision the amount of spectrum allocated to wavelength(s) allowing for 400G and 1T channels. Colorless ROADM ports are not frequency specific (re-tuned laser does not require fiber move) Contention-less - Same frequency can be added/dropped from multiple ports on same device. Foundation for Multi-Layer Network Programmability Cisco Confidential 7
