400G ZR+ is a disruptive technology that delivers 400G optical transmission in standard and interoperable pluggable form factors. With sourcing from multiple suppliers, 400G ZR+ promises to bring improved economics to service providers for transporting 100GbE, and growing 400GbE client traffic, all while being superior to 800G solutions that rely on expensive embedded and proprietary technology. This paper explores how service providers can quickly capitalize on all of the benefits of 400G ZR+ and essentially change the economics for IP and Optical transport.

Governments around the world are creating Internet of Things (IoT) security legislation and regulations designed to keep users safe in an increasingly connected world. Connectivity is good and, in fact, great but bad things can happen to people with unprotected or poorly protected IoT devices. Failing to meet government regulations or guidelines may lead to the inability to sell products in a region and thus to lost revenue. However, the regulations are constantly in a state of flux. This white paper provides updated background on what governments are suggesting or requiring as well as specific details on how to implement security defenses and obtain security certifications that can satisfy current and even future government requirements

5G deployments continue their upward trend and will soon be the dominant mobile wireless protocol deployed in North America. The ecosystem is gathering valuable information from these deployments, and one area of focus is the transport network. As part of 5G’s evolution, key architecture components are being separated and distributed to the cloud in ways that make 5G more scalable and flexible. Meanwhile, bandwidth demands continue to increase at the same time applications and services require low latency. New requirements are presented to the transport network at each step of an operator’s 5G journey. The transport infrastructure of today must be flexible to adapt to upcoming requirements as it enables new architectures, tools, and ultimately, 5G networks innovation, monetization, and performance. The fundamental goal of the 5G transport network is to deliver transparent connectivity that allows both present and future functions to work together seamlessly.

As a data hub and application carrier, data centeris a basic guarantee facility for carrying digital computing power and information systems of variousindustries, an important precondition for building information platform, and a key link in the development of digital industry chain. Data center infrastructure is also an important part of ensuring stable operation of data centers. Troubleshooting, root cause analysis and remediation of facilityproblems are common challenges for any infrastructure operation. Therefore, data center infrastructure design becomes critical.
