Taiwan's Chinese Telecom Research Institute has signed a joint test agreement with NTT since September this year to test the application of ultra-high-speed 200G universal Optical network equipment technology to data center interconnection, according to Taiwanese media reports.

Chinese Telecom pointed out that the current use of open source software, general-purpose network Equipment and SDN technology construction of data center internal network has become a mature way, the operator in this way to achieve data center internal network Automation configuration and operations, this trend will be extended to provide data center interconnection of the Optical network, so that the configuration of optical networks more automated.

Chinese Telecom further explained that the new universal Optical network equipment to increase ultra-high speed 200G high-speed optical interface and use SDN open source software, to meet the data center point to point, large broadband transmission application needs, to provide customers with Low-cost and SDN intelligent overall solution. Chinese Telecom Research Institute is actively studying the application of SDN technology in optical transmission network, hoping to use open source software to increase network equipment interoperability.

At the same time, NTT invested in research and development resources to participate in OpenStack open source software program. This cooperation case will be combined with the Chinese Telecommunication Research Institute long-term support of the Taiwan region's largest telecommunications network operation experience, as well as the NTT Development SDN Open source software and promote the commercialization of new network equipment expertise, cooperation to verify the ultra-high speed 200G network equipment in the future data center interconnection technology, and continue to develop SDN related
