The 2.5-Gbps multiservice aggregation line card for the Cisco
®
ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP)
provides a highly scalable solution that addresses today’s ever-growing requirement for data and storage bandwidth
in enterprises as well as metropolitan-area (metro) and regional managed service providers. This 8-port multiservice
aggregation card (Figure 1) efficiently uses wavelengths by aggregating Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, IBM Fiber
Connection (FICON), and Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) services into a 2.5-Gbps wavelength.

Background
Increasing use of mission-critical business applications has resulted in an exponential growth in data and storage requirements. For many
enterprises as well as metro and regional service providers, dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) is the ideal technology to address
the requirement for high service density and flexibility. Furthermore, by aggregating multiple data streams into a single wavelength, the overall
service density of a fiber increases drastically. The enhanced scalability ultimately results in lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and a more
scalable solution for end users.
