The A-8100 houses the following components: • 15 Interface cards, each 1 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or 8 x 1 Gigabit Ethernet • 2 Switch and Controller Cards providing 1:1 protection • 2 DC power supply modules • 3 fan units This powerful combination provides service providers with unique flexibility in delivering scalable Ethernet services for Enterprise as well as Residential and Backhaul applications in a variety of small and large locations. The A-8100 complements Nokia Siemens Networks family of A-Series Switches while using the same Interface cards as the A-4100. The common architecture of the product portfolio, combined with the industry leading ASPEN network management platform delivers carrier class architecture to support the scalability, protection, resiliency, seamless service provisioning and service management requirements of a service provider. Applications High Capacity Aggregation The A-8100 provides high-capacity Ethernet aggregation for POPs and COs serving a large number of subscribers. The A-8100 provides a lowcost entry price while allowing the Service Provider to scale up to 150G of Ethernet aggregation in a single location. The A-8100 offers a direct Ethernet UNI to subscribers either with or without GE demarcation devices, as well as termination of A-Series Switches 1G access rings based on the A-2000 family of products. The A-4100 also allows for off-Net subscriber connectivity through QinQ VLAN handoff to 3rd party access providers and other access technologies (e.g. DSL, PON, Wireless etc.) • 1G and 10G MPLS core transport • MEF E-Line, E-LAN, and E-Tree services with hard QoS and 50ms protection • Extensive Ethernet OA&M and troubleshooting tools Rapid Provisioning for Maximum Profitability The A-8100 Carrier Ethernet aggregation switch enables service providers to rapidly provision customized services on demand. All services can be provisioned using the ASPEN network and services management suite. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be provisioned in seconds with flexible parameters, following the MEF 10 service attributes standard, including the following: • Committed Information Rate (CIR) • Excess Information Rate (EIR) • Four levels of priority • Delay • Jitter • Protection level (sub-50ms, sub 10 seconds, none)
A-8100 Carrier Ethernet Core Switch Converged Triple Play and Business Service Transport The A-8100 is the ideal Carrier Ethernet switch for Video Serving Hubs and other main POPs, connecting Triple Play routers, BRAS devices and contents servers to the Ethernet aggregation network, while running business Ethernet services over the same infrastructure. Utilzing connection-oriented MPLS technology, the A-8100 allows Service Providers to transport delay/ jitter sensitive voice and video traffic, while guaranteeing committed bandwidth for business services running at lower or same Classes-of-Service. • Hard QoS for Multicast and Unicast Services at any class-of-Service • 50mSec protection for Multicast and Unicast Services against network and video source failures • Point-to-Multipoint LSPs for scalable and easily manageable multicast services • Traffic Engineered VPLS (VPLS- TE) for subscriber aggregation and Server to DSLAM connectivity Carrier Class Redundancy and Resiliency Nokia Siemens Networks’ A-8100 has been designed to deliver the SDH/SONET-like reliability that carriers demand with the price, performance, and scalability of Ethernet. The A-8100 delivers comprehensive end-to-end protection against fiber cuts, device failures and human error. Redundant power supplies as well as Redundant Switch and Management Modules offer additional protection. Flexible, Multi-Protocol Transport The A-8100 delivers flexible connectivity options over Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-tomultipoint service topologies. Customer traffic can be mapped to connections based on a wide variety of criteria, including ports, VLANs, IP addresses, L2/L3 QoS marking and L2/L3 protocols. In addition to pure Ethernet connectivity, service providers can transport legacy TDM traffic over the Carrier Ethernet network using Circuit Emulation Services (CES) technology. IP backbone/Inter-Metro Services Given its capacity and feature set the A-8100 is often used by Service Providers looking to extend their Layer 2 and Layer 3 services over multiple metros. • Standard MPLS and Pseudo Wire Interworking of Ethernet services and tunnels to standard-based MPLS devices • MPLS extension over NMS-provisioned VLAN handoff tunnels to longhaul routers using an overlay model. This allows usage of any VLAN-aware longhaul technology (e.g. DWDM, SONET/SDH etc.) for Inter-metro connectivity • VPLS-TE with guaranteed bandwidth per end-point for seamless connectivity of L3 routers over a L2 network while guaranteeing bandwidth per router • Extensive OA&M and troubleshooting tools for managing Inter-Metro connectivity Nokia Siemens Networks’ A-Series Switches deliver standard compliant E1/T1, DS-3 and STM-1/ OC-3 for both telephony and data applications. The A-8100’s plug & play operation, error free implementation and integrated network management dramatically simplify network operations and reduces both capital and operational expenditures for carriers. Industry-leading Service Provisioning and Management Solution Nokia Siemens Networks ASPEN solution delivers the optimal management, control and provisioning capability needed by service providers to ensure fast, reliable and flexible service operations across the network. Based on standard TeleManagement Forum (TMF) architecture, ASPEN supports all network and system management processes. Wireless & Cellular Backhaul Combined with Nokia Siemens Networks A-Series Switches’ edge, access, Aggregation and ASPEN network management products, the A-8100 provides a cost-effective transport of Ethernet and TDM for current and next generation technology cellular providers. Aggregating NxE1/T1 voice/ data and FE or GE data from base stations, to the MSC, the A-8100 aggregates all data and voice traffic onto Gigabit Ethernet, and STM-1/OC-3 respectively. The ability of Service Providers to combine cellular backhaul with business services and residential Triple Play over the same infrastructure provides a true Universal Transport Carrier Ethernet solution. • Solid QoS and 50ms protection supports the stringent delay jitter and packet loss requirements of TDM transport over Ethernet • Extensive OA&M tools for managing and troubleshooting Ethernet connections over a 3rd party Metro Ethernet Service Provider The open API brings fast and flexible integration with service providers’ Operating Support Systems (OSS) applications, thus ensuring that all network elements are properly managed and controlled. An open API provides fast and flexible integration with thirdparty and OSS applications. ASPEN features a CORBA- and XML-based, open API that enables simple and flexible integration with OSS applications. The OSServer supports all network management with a comprehensive set of operations, enabling OSS applications to perform all desired functions.
