Competitive Advantage
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has long been the technology of choice for transporting large amounts of data between sites.
The main advantage is that it increases bandwidth by allowing different data streams to be sent simultaneously over a single optical fiber network. Installing new cable is costly and time-consuming, so a DWDM network helps maximize the usefulness of existing fiber, optimizing the network investment.
This is the approach traditionally favored by carriers and service providers. DWDM networks can also be used by corporate and governmental organizations who want to get the most out of their fiber networks, but many companies have yet to take advantage of the approach.

Why
DWDM
Features and Benefits:
With DWDM, optical networking technology has taken yet another major step forward. Given that your switches support interfaces, you may directly leverage the full capacity between sites and towards your customers. And the higher capacity means that you now can carry channels over one single wavelength. An obvious cost saving in many situations.
Another major advantage of DWDM is that it is based on a new optical connectivity standard, defined by the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF). This is the first time since the introduction of DWDM such a standard has been agreed upon, a fact that will secure interoperability between systems from different vendors and keep costs down.
Further, DWDM is also ideally suited to leverage disaggregated optical networking as advocated by major equipment vendors such as Cisco, Juniper and Arista. In a disaggregated optical network, the electro-optical transceivers are plugged divrectly into the switches/routers, using an active optical line system between sites. Therefore defines two new form factors for such pluggable transceivers, QSFP-DD and OSFP, capable of handling the higher power require.

Reduced Costs
DWDM technology is useful when data needs to be sent across several states or even across oceans. Where it is much cheaper to install a DWDM system rather than laying down hundreds or thousands of kilometers of new fiber.
Easy Maintenance
DWDM technology for data transmission is protocol and bitrate independent. As data flows through each wavelength, the channels do not interfere with one another.
Good Value
DWDM offers high bandwidth, long-distance capabilities, security, and protocol independence. It is most often utilized by telecommunications and cable companies as part of their carrier transport networks.

Smartoptics provides CWDM and DWDM connectivity solutions and 4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers certified on all the latest Brocade® Fibre Channel switches, including those running Brocade Fabric OS® (FOS). These simple and cost-effective open-line connectivity solutions enable organizations to transition to modern systems, freeing themselves of the complexity and expense of telecom-grade platforms
The Brocade and Smartoptics Solution
Smartoptics embedded WDM solutions enable long-distance CWDM/DWDM transceivers to be connected directly into Brocade Fibre Channel switches, rather than through a traditional transponderbased DWDM platform. This design uses a single passive optical multiplexer to generate up to 16 Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) or 80 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) channels through a single pair of fibers that supports distances up to 160 km.
Through this approach, CapEx and OpEx are significantly reduced compared to using active DWDM networking platforms. In addition, the switch does not need to be run in R_RDY mode, so no features
are lost. System capacity is exactly the same, but with far fewer elements at risk of failure. Reduced power, cooling, and space requirements result in the ultimate green data center solution.
Simplified Operations, Reduced Costs
More than ever, companies are planning for disaster recovery scenarios. This often entails distributing data centers across multiple geographic locations in an effort to minimize disruptions should disaster
strike.
Organizations often use dark fiber to connect these locations, and with the growing quantity of data being transferred, many are turning to WDM to maximize the throughput of these dark fiber connections.
In the past, telecom-grade DWDM systems were the go-to solution for data center connectivity. Yet they typically accounted for 50 percent or more of the total site connectivity project cost due to their complexity and significant rack space, power, and cooling requirements. Brocade and Smartoptics now offer organizations an alternative—an innovative embedded WDM solution that meets their disaster
recovery requirements while simplifying
Approved Solutions
The combined Brocade and Smartoptics solution is ideal for organizations that need to deploy one or more remote data centers and implement disaster recovery between geographically separate sites. It offers the simplest design and installation solution with no compromise on distance or channel count. As a purely passive solution, it means significant overall reductions in power, noise, and emissions, while simultaneously assuring the utmost reliability. For longer distance connectivity, an intelligent M-Series multiplexer handles all traffic connectivity up to 200 km between sites
