Argonne National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy’s largest research centers, has deployed CIENA’s ONLINE Metro DWDM platform in two separate networks. The first application is to provide OC-48 and OC-192 channels between the Laboratory located 25 miles southwest of Chicago, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in Champaign, Illinois and several other research and education institutions in the state. The second application is to provide OC-48/OC-192 links between locations in the TeraGrid and Illinois Wired/Wireless Infrastructure for Research and Education (I-WIRE) networks, including StarLight, a global experimental optical network exchange facility. Argonne is also using the ONLINE Metro platform to test Fibre Channel over SONET, as well as for experimenting with extended Ethernet transport solutions.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Ciena. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
World Wide Packets built Carrier Ethernet switches and service management. What became of it?
World Wide Packets brought Carrier Ethernet switches and service management to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Ciena for US$296M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Ciena today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
