Making networks secure with multi-layer encryptionADVA
Stephan Lehmann's NetNordic session discussed the most effective encryption methods for safeguarding external network connections against unauthorized access. He debated how the latest technology for encryption at multiple layers can provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art security infrastructure for all connectivity applications, and explored how new solutions are ensuring that data is encrypted without impacting network performance.
Quantum threat: How to protect your optical networkADVA
At NetNordic, Vincent Sleiffer explored the looming quantum threat and asked whether there are quantum-safe network technologies that can be applied today to protect sensitive information against dangers including data harvesting.
Optical networks and the ecodesign tradeoff between climate change mitigation...ADVA
1. Optical networks face several environmental challenges including high power consumption that outpaces efficiency increases, e-waste generation that exceeds recycling capabilities, and reliance on critical raw materials.
2. Timely equipment replacement aims to minimize total lifetime emissions but contradicts circular economy goals, demonstrating the complex tradeoffs between climate mitigation and adaptation that optical network design entails.
3. Both maximizing the carbon savings enabled by digitalization and improving the sector's climate change adaptation are necessary to help meet climate targets while ensuring raw material and waste sustainability.
Trends in next-generation data center interconnects (DCI)ADVA
In his session at ECOC 2022, Jörg-Peter investigated the development of next-generation data center interconnect technology, discussing topics such as pluggable transceivers vs. co-packaged optics, direct detect vs. coherent interfaces, and hyperscaler vs. enterprise data center solutions.
Open optical edge connecting mobile access networksADVA
Generic optics, developed for applications different from RANs, may not fit the requirements of the mobile transport network. Optical components natively conceived for radio access and based on technologies driven by its requirements (right optics at the right time and the right cost) would accelerate the pace at which RANs are deployed and decrease the relative cost of the optics as part of the total RAN solution. In this session, Jim Zou looked at how emerging innovation is enhancing networking energy efficiency. While today’s solutions focus on high-end performance and end user experience, tomorrow’s infrastructure must also balance energy efficiency with varying traffic loads, and designs focused on sustainability.

Meet the industry's first pluggable 10G demarcation deviceADVA
Our NIDPlug+™ is the ideal solution for creating demarcation points in space-restricted locations. It's the industry's first pluggable 10Gbit/s demarcation SFP+ device specifically designed to enable high-speed services in the field where it’s not possible to use a traditional device. Consuming less than 2.5 watts and requiring no additional floor space, NIDPlug+™ provides enterprises and communication service providers with the comprehensive management capabilities needed to deliver strict SLA-based Carrier Ethernet.
Our pluggable AccessWave25™ answers the urgent need for higher bandwidth services in mobile X-Haul, cable access and wholesale networks. It gives operators an easy migration path from 10Gbit/s access infrastructure to 25Gbit/s connectivity without a significant increase in footprint or major changes to the existing optical layer. Slotting the AccessWave25™ into any standard-based SFP28 port delivers an instant capacity upgrade without replacing existing demarcation or aggregation devices. Using patent-pending distance optimization technology, the device also extends 25Gbit/s DWDM reach to 40km and its G.metro auto-tuning technology reduces provisioning efforts and simplifies operations.
Our highly versatile FSP 150-XO106 is a compact and temperature-hardened edge demarcation device that enables communication service providers to deliver 10Gbit/s Carrier Ethernet services in challenging environments. Easily mounted on walls, poles and cell towers and requiring no cabinet or cooling, it's ideal for deployment in space-restricted locations and harsh outdoor conditions. The feature-rich solution includes advanced OAM capabilities, supports precise synchronization and fully integrates with our Ensemble Controller and Packet Director for simple network management.
At Namex Annual Meeting 2022, Christoph Glingener discussed the threat that quantum computers pose to network security and talked about addressing this significant cybersecurity risk with quantum key distribution and post-quantum cryptography.
From leased lines to optical spectrum servicesADVA
This document discusses optical spectrum as a service, which allows communication service providers (CSPs) to sell unused optical spectrum. Advances in coherent transport and flexgrid open line systems now enable CSPs to segment spectrum into slices and assign them to different users. This transforms spectrum into a new service that CSPs can offer beyond traditional leased lines. Realizing spectrum as a service requires an open line system with programmable spectrum allocation, flexible grid technology, service demarcation functions, and network slicing through open control and management. Several examples demonstrate how spectrum services are being implemented in multi-domain and multi-operator networks.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
