2. Agenda • Ceyba: The company • The Grid Environment • Bandwidth Trends • New Optical Directions • Driving your Grid Destiny Proprietary and Confidential

3. Unique long-haul solution Optical equipment vendor World class team Ceyba: The company Proprietary and Confidential

4. Agenda • Ceyba: The company • The Grid Environment • Bandwidth Trends • New Optical Directions • Driving your Grid Destiny Proprietary and Confidential

5. Bridging the gaps • Terascale scientific applications • astronomy, physics, genomic, meteorology …. • Applications need geographically separated resources • compute, data/storage and instrumentation intensive • With inadequate bandwidth, scientists either need their own massive resources, or must travel to other resource sites • Grid must couple and integrate geographically separated computing, storage and instrumentation resources • Optical bandwidth is an enabling technology for the Grid Optics overcome the ‘tyranny of distance’ Proprietary and Confidential

6. Key Grid communication requirements High capacity ‘back-plane’ • Terabit capacity, easily added incremental capacity, low latency Operational simplicity • ‘Self-running’ infrastructure: auto-discovery of network resources, auto power balancing, integrated diagnostics • End-user ability to reconfigure network capacity and connectivity • Scheduled and partitioned network capacity for user separation and security User control • Transport native Ethernet traffic and any other data protocols in a transparent manner Data centric Proprietary and Confidential

Transponders 13% Optics 19% Regens up to 68% Optics 50% Transponders 50% Regens 0% 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 Connection length (km) Lowering connection cost Connection cost per Gbps*km versus distance Cost breakdown Regen every 500 km Relative Cost per Gbps*km No regens Motivation to eliminate regenerators Proprietary and Confidential

13. = client transponder = regenerator = amplifier Rapid bandwidth additions Existing point-to-point networking Regenerator intensive regenerator sites • New Gen networking • Streamlined core – less inventory & maintenance Simpler operations, faster provisioning Proprietary and Confidential

14. “Virtual fiber” networks Los Angeles Denver Boston Chicago • Scheduled and partitioned network capacity • User separation and security San Diego Dallas Direct, dedicated connections via optical bypass Proprietary and Confidential

15. End-user network control Electronics (transponders) now mainly at user sites Easy to add new capacity, rapid wavelength turn-up, network reconfiguration Inherent ‘hard’/secure partition of network to different sites and users A band of wavelengths per site, a wavelength per user User owned and operated circuits Greater user choice: Carrier or 3rd party owned and operated common infrastructure Empowering users, promoting innovation Proprietary and Confidential

16. Data centric P • Rate transparency • 1G, 2.5G, 10G, 40G, 100G, etc. P • Protocol/Service transparency • Ethernet, FICON, ESCON, SONET/SDH, etc. • 1GE, 10GE LAN PHY native support P • Control-plane transparency • clear channels for user control plane signaling across the network Future proofing the network Proprietary and Confidential
