MAP-2100

Securing the integrity of data stored in data centers is so important that most data center operators back up data to other data centers via high-performance network links. To maintain the performance of those connections and to verify SLAs, a data center must frequently perform bit-error-rate (BER) tests on Ethernet line rates up to 100G and beyond, as well as OTN, CWDM, or DWDM circuits. The problem is that many data centers have very few, if any, technicians to run tests ensuring the quality of connections.
The MAP 2100 was designed to enable data center operators and network service providers to securely run high-performance bit error rate tests to unmanned locations.

Key Use Cases

• Office-to-office (data center interconnect)
  • Scenario: Need to test the network between sites, but neither site has a technician to run tests via portable,
  • hand-held testers
  • Solution: MAP-2100 at both sites, run tests remotely via secure communications
  • Encryption up to 256 bits
  • Additional security by forward all management connectivity through SSH (port )
• Manual-to-office
  • Scenario: Two sites, but only one with a portable tester and a technician present – typically, this is a two-person
  • Test
  • Solution: Use a portable T-BERD/MTS-5800 on one site and test against a rack-mounted MAP-2100 in the other
  • Only one technician is required to run the test saving expense, man hours
  • Either test unit can be controlled by the other using Smart Access Anywhere
• Submarine
  • Scenario: Multiple plants with a mix of terrestrial, dry, and wet. Need to test between plants to ensure the network is performing to capacity.
  • Solution: Deploy MAP-2100 units at multiple sites to provide efficient, high-capacity testing with minimal technician intervention.
• Software-based Test and Measurement (Fusion)
  • Scenario: A “hybrid” network with a mix of physical and virtual circuits has multiple test points; portable, rack-mounted, and virtual, with a need to control them all from a central location via a northbound Netconf/YANG interface
  • Solution: VIAVI Fusion runs standardized BERT and performance monitoring (TWAMP) over multiple test points, both physical and virtual, via an LMAP-compliant architecture.
