DCI equipment solutions: integrated integration to help data center optical interconnection upgrades

In the wave of digital transformation, data center interconnection (DCI) has become a key foundation to support cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence applications. However, poor device compatibility, complex deployment processes, and high O&M costs in traditional DCI deployments have always been a practical challenge faced by many enterprises. How to achieve efficient, stable, and economical optical interconnection upgrades has become a bottleneck that the industry urgently needs to break through.

1. Demand pain points: practical dilemmas in DCI deployment

At present, many enterprises often face the following major problems when building or upgrading data center interconnection:

Poor device compatibility

Insufficient interoperability between optical modules and transmission equipment from different manufacturers leads to difficulties in system integration and even problems such as unstable performance and large signal loss.

Cumbersome deployment process

From equipment selection to link commissioning to system launch, the cycle is long, and there are many links, which seriously affects the speed of service launch.

High O&M costs

The coexistence of multi-vendor equipment leads to complex O&M interfaces, difficult fault location, and rising maintenance manpower and time costs.

These pain points not only increase the upfront investment of enterprises but also bury hidden dangers in long-term operation.

2. Hirundo DCI device solutions: integrated integration, simplifying complexity

In response to the above common industry problems, Hirundo has launched a new generation of DCI device solutions, with "integrated integration" as the core, redefining the construction mode of optical interconnection in data centers.

The optical module and transmission unit is deeply integrated

Hirundo deeply integrates high-performance optical modules with transmission units at the hardware and software levels to provide a unified device platform optimized from the factory. This eliminates the risk of compatibility between the transceiver and the device in traditional schemes, ensuring optimized link performance and more stable signal transmission.

2. Intelligent adaptation of multi-manufacturer equipment

With built-in multi-protocol conversion and intelligent adaptation, Hirundo DCI devices can seamlessly connect with transmission and switching equipment from mainstream vendors, breaking the vendor lock-in of the original network architecture of enterprises and giving customers greater networking flexibility and future expansion space.

3. Rapid deployment and intelligent O&M support

The solution provides pre-configuration and pre-commissioning services, combined with graphical deployment tools and automated scripts, greatly simplifying the on-site installation and commissioning process. In the operation and maintenance stage, the unified network management platform realizes end-to-end visual monitoring, intelligent alarms, and fault location, greatly improving operation and maintenance efficiency.

3. Platform advantages: double improvement of efficiency and cost

Extremely fast deployment

From device arrival to service provisioning, the deployment cycle can be compressed to less than 24 hours, helping enterprises quickly launch or expand services.

Significant cost reduction

Reduced O&M complexity, reduced labor investment, and an estimated 30% reduction in overall O&M costs.

High reliability

The integrated design reduces external connection points, reduces the probability of failure, and effectively ensures system availability.

Future-proof

Supports smooth upgrades and capacity expansion, adapts to future high-speed optical modules, and protects enterprise investment.

Hirundo provides customized DCI equipment solutions by deploying pre-integrated 100G/400G integrated transmission devices and using intelligent adaptation functions to connect network equipment from multiple vendors. The project completed the service cutover and online of three data center nodes within 48 hours, with zero service interruption during the upgrade. During the O&M stage, through the unified management platform, the company's O&M team realized real-time monitoring and early warning of the link performance of the entire network, reducing the average fault location time by 70% and reducing the annual O&M cost by about 35%.

Epilogue

In today's high-speed, intelligent, and simplified data center interconnection, Hirundo DCI device solutions take integrated integration as the starting point to solve traditional problems in compatibility, deployment, and O&M. We are committed to helping customers build efficient, reliable, and future-oriented data center optical interconnection networks through better product design and service models, paving a smoother optical fiber road for digital transformation.
