ACG TCO on Core 7950 XRS Whitepaper

Alcatel Lucent

Abstract:

There is significant cost pressure on network infrastructure caused by high traffic growth rates and the failure of service providers’ revenues and profits to keep pace. Core network traffic is growing in excess of 50% per year, and new services such as content-rich digital media, cloud and mobile broadband place new requirements on the network for optimal distribution and delivery. Core routers, consequently, must scale rapidly and meet demanding network performance objectives with the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO). Operations expense (OpEx) differences, specifically, are the true cost differentiators among competing core router solutions.
