Plug-and-Play ATM

High-performance PNNI from

Bay Networks greatly reduces the

day-to-day burden on the administrators

of large networks by eliminating static

inter-switch route conﬁguration. PNNI

empowers ATM enterprise networks

to dynamically and automatically

negotiate and conﬁgure system-wide

topologies, and eliminates manual

inter-switch route conﬁguration. In

large enterprise networks, PNNI

simpliﬁes deployment and enhances

system performance and reliability.

The ability to implement PNNI

anywhere throughout the network,

from the wiring closet edge to the

network core, is unique to Centillion

infrastructures. Mixed PNNI and IISP

environments are also supported,

providing additional network

design ﬂexibility.

Unparalleled Manageability

Optivity

®

, the industry leading

management solution from

Bay Networks, provides sophisticated

yet straightforward management of

Centillion ATM environments. A key

component of Optivity Enterprise

™

,

the Optivity NETarchitect

™

application

delivers system-level ATM management

via an intuitive, object-oriented

interface to simplify detailed

management tasks. Features such as

rules-based conﬁguration, automatic

addressing, and the ability to drag

and drop conﬁgurations of emulated

LANs on a system-wide basis

dramatically reduce the time required

to manage large networks. In

addition, by automating sophisticated

switch conﬁguration and image ﬁle

management tasks, the administration

of ATM networks is optimized

and any potential for error is

greatly reduced.

Featuring design and analysis

tools that leverage the embedded

instrumentation present in all

Bay Networks equipment, Optivity

provides the optimum solution for

managing any switched network

infrastructure. Optivity supports

all popular management platforms,

including Tivoli NetView for AIX,

HP OpenView Network Node

Manager, and Sun Microsystems

Solstice Domain Manager.

Comprehensive Investment Protection

The ﬂexibility inherent to the

Centillion LAN-ATM architecture

maximizes chassis utility by enabling

the deployment and reconﬁguration

of Ethernet and Token Ring LAN

media with minimal incremental

expense. The Centillion distributed

processing architecture ensures

sustained switching performance as

network demand grows. For instance,

activation of intranet application

intelligent MPOA client services is

supported by current Centillion LAN-

ATM platforms, minimizing the need

for future hardware upgrades.

Capital expenditure is further optimized

through the use of standards-based

ATM to interconnect switches—

enabling network managers to avoid

the ‘lock in’ of proprietary schemes.

As trafﬁc demands increase, ATM

ports are easily added to support

bandwidth growth. The Centillion

multi-homed, load-sharing architecture

delivers 310 Mbps to more than

2.4 Gbps of riser bandwidth between

wiring closets and network centers.

ATMSpeed, EtherSpeed, and

TokenSpeed switching modules also

provide comprehensive support for

all commonly used physical media.

The Centillion solution’s incremental

integration strategy facilitates the

deployment of powerful ATM

technology with minimal disruption,

eliminating costly and time-consum-

ing network upgrades. In medium-

to large-sized networks, Centillion
