Network virtualization and cloud computing require flexible network infrastructure to accommodate moves, adds and changes without extensive human intervention or costly overbuilds. What’s more, the increasing size of data center networks creates significant opportunities for scaling core architectures, testing the performance cost effectively, and reconfiguring the virtualized infrastructure on demand.
The OnPATH Universal Connectivity System (UCS™) delivers a proven solution to create a Virtualized Infrastructure Layer (VIL) of the network infrastructure. By providing the industry’s most scalable and secure technology, the overbuilding and troubleshooting network infrastructure can be significantly reduced – saving valuable space, power and, most importantly, capital. Here are just a few application examples:
Core networks scaling without interswitch links
Remote monitoring and test tool automation
Cloud computing
Networks on-demand
Media conversion and distance extension
Today our family of UCS™ hardware and UCMS™ software are providing valuable benefits for data center virtualization.
 | SAVE TIME - Execute moves, adds and changes instantly and reliably
- Reduce downtime by quickly isolating and resolving path or circuit problems with system and circuit alarms
- Automate record keeping and preparation time with the fully integrated remote activity scheduling and logging
|
 | INCREASE UTILIZATION - Improve the access and utilization of expensive data center servers, storage and switching systems with up to 100,000 ports of ultra-reliable connectivity
- Expand the accessibility and performance to quickly reconfigure test generators and monitoring tools from any location
- Reduce personnel time and prevent errors during reconfiguration and troubleshooting - effectively an automated and intelligent patch panel
|
 | REDUCE COSTS - Lower capital costs with higher equipment utilization and network performance
- Lower operational costs through reduced equipment, optimized architectures, and higher reliability
- Return on project investments ranging from 3 to 12 months
