Presentation Overview

• Define the Problem
• Original Design
• Design Changes
• Design Solution
• Restatement of Goals
• Current Operational Design

3
Define the Problem

• Determine Objectives
• We need to provide service to NLR from UNM
• NLR service is 10G Packetnet (routed), 1G
  Packetnet (routed backup), 1G Framenet
• UNM requires reliable redundant service
• Solution should provide scalable services to make
  the best use of acquired fiber

4
Rationale for original design

• We had three known locations ITS, 505, and 104.
• We had limited access to fiber due to Comcast
  build limitations and cost (2 pair)
• DWDM made sense over trunking 10G connections
  only
• We had no fiber characteristics for determining
  protected cards for DWDM

5
The Original Design
6
Design Changes

• There was an increase to 4 node ring to include
  South Campus
• For GSD partnership
• For CABQ partnership
• For UNM commercial partners
• As a location for a redundant path
• A node was moved to 256 to support North Campus
• We were told not to deliver 10G directly to UNM
  campus

Design Solution

• Make use of fiber already ordered
• Use DWDM to do this
• Provide Redundant ABQG service to Campus using
  both fiber directions
• Provide Redundant NLR service to 505 using both
  fiber directions
• Buy hardware for current needs, future projects
  will purchase ports they need.

12
Customer connection options

• We are planning these services
• Ciena---protected
• A path is provisioned both directions around the
  ring. Initially with 2 ports GigE or 10GigE
• Ciena---Non-protected
• A point to point path on the metro network is
  provisioned
• Cisco options
• We can place a switch with a 10G backhaul to 505,
  and share that bandwidth

13
ABQ-G future

• Wait and see, and dont install anything else?
• Install to satisfy current and expected design
  criteria

14
Prospective customers

• ITTH at 505
• SFIS at 505
• CHECS at 505
• NMCAC at 505?
• Intel at 505?
• Sandoval at 505
• LANL at 505
• PNM at 505 plus?
• LWA at 505
• OneConnect at 505
• Gridline at South Campus

Here is what ABQ-G can provide

• 1 Gbps
• 10Gbps
• FrameNet
• PackeNet
• WaveNet
• Lambda
• protected
• non-protected
• partially protected
• Virtually anything you can think of, we
  have positioned ourselves as able to provide it.

• Any future functional requirements we should know
  of?
