The solution received a 2012 TMC Labs Innovation Award, as well as a 2012 NGN Leadership Award — both accolades honor products that display innovation, unique features and significant contributions toward improving communications technology.
“Many of our customers, including those who manage data centers and content delivery networks (CDN) continually wrestle to overcome the demand for increasing bandwidth, the need to use less physical space and the ever increasing cost of power. The new MRV high-density 10G Fiber Driver solution sets an industry standard for these critical parameters and we are pleased to win this award,” said David Stehlin, president of MRV’s Optical Communications Systems Division. “Fiber Driver extends beyond traditional transport modules to essentially do much more with less. This creative solution delivers the industry’s highest density and best power efficiency for next-generation 10G services, packing up to 80 high-speed channels of 10G transport in only 11U of rack space, resulting in crucial space and energy savings and extreme scalability.”
Beyond the exceptional space and power efficiency, MRV’s Fiber Driver solution allows service providers, data center co-location companies, Internet exchange carriers, web service companies, cloud and content providers, large enterprise data centers and more to realize immense benefits as they scale their networks. The solution can replace up to 20 existing modules to extend deployment options, simplify operations and inventory management, and reduce costs. The Fiber Driver solution further simplifies management by addressing any protocol including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel or Infiniband. As a result of those multi-purpose capabilities, the solution can be reused at different locations in the network to maximize equipment investment. Furthermore, operators can seamlessly add transponders to their networks as capacity demand grows to directly align investments with service needs.
