These routers deliver powerful capabilities based on the Junos Express chipset and forwarding architectures optimized for MPLS and Ethernet, with integrated, coherent 100GbE technology. HPC NREN Providers need innovative network architectures that are dense, cost optimized, highly available, and simplified. The PTX Series dynamic Converged Supercore model with 100 GbE coherent optical technology provides that, and improves total cost of ownership (TCO), optimizes power use, and drastically reduces space utilization.=0A =0AThis session discusses the architecture of the PTX and how it can be leveraged by the next generation of HPC NRENs. It will also touch on recent trials in which the PTX with 100 Gbe coherent optical technology was used to demonstrate the practicality of running Alien Waves over the layer one infrastructure of production HPC NRENs.
