Data Center Interconnection

(DCI) Solution

Data Center Interconnect, or DCI, uses high-speed packet-optical technology to connect your router or servers to, and from,
multi-tenant data centers. Typically, DCI optical infrastructure is very complex, expensive, and a closed system. Edgecore’s
Cassini solution provides a more open, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure.

Edgecore’s Cassini is the industry’s first modular open-source packet transponder

Edgecore’s Cassini is the industry’s first modular open-source packet transponder offering a high-capacity combination of 100GbE
packet switching ports and 100/200Gbps coherent optical interfaces. It has a 1.5RU form factor design and a system throughput of
3.2Tbps.
Edgecore’s Cassini enables network operators to extend and migrate existing metro and long-haul Dense Wavelength Division Mul-
tiplexing (DWDM) networks, adding new 200G capacity and extending inter-datacenter and Layer 3 services, all in an open network
platform. Over the same infrastructure with 200Gbps coherent lines, users can easily share resources and balance workloads.
Besides, the design supports Ethernet and optical line cards with MACsec security for secure encrypted connections on both
client-side links and metro or wide-area connections.
