Review Fiber-to-the-Subscriber : Buildings and Homes Bring Very Different Requirements / CIR, Inc.:When the FSAN consortium was developing the standard for ATM PONs (aPONs) in the 1990s, there was an implicit assumption that the lower cost of passive components would drive a standard architecture for optical access networks. However, as the U. S. optical access market grows, it is apparent that Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTB) and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks have little in common technologically and financially.

Review Focus Software: Making Forms More Intelligent ZapNote / ZapThink, LLC:Web-based forms are a particularly crude way of soliciting data from users. In HTML, the fields of data that a form solicits, the presentation of that form to the user, and the way that form elements bind to data and send them back to the server are all tightly coupled to each other. It is very difficult to separate the way that a system represents a form from the information that the form contains. The W3C hopes to change this reality by introducing an XML-based specification called XForms that separates form presentation, form logic, and data binding to form elements. In addition, vendors like Focus Software are building XForms-based solutions that enable companies to build and deploy dynamic electronic forms to a wide range of endpoints and devices such as Web browsers, cell phones, and interactive voice systems.

Review RPR : Resilient or Rigid? / CIR, Inc.:Ah, compromise. The Ethernet vs. SONET debate has heated up and lit a fire on metro rings. Religious and political warfare has broken out, and the opposing factions are not ready to sit at the negotiating table. But not everyone wants to take a side on this matter. A new group of systems vendors and ASIC designers wants to displace the well-known SONET MAN with a SONET/Ethernet hybird that provides SONET reliability at Ethernet prices. This best of both worlds approach is grabbing a lot of attention, enough to warrant a new standard. The result is the Resilient Packet Ring Alliance (RPRA) and its IEEE incarnation, the 802. 17 Working Group. This is where everyone will supposedly come together and reach a peace agreement to help calm the warring jihads in the Ethernet and SONET camps.

Review Optical Switching Systems : What is the Outlook for the O-E-O Corss-Connect Business/ / CIR, Inc.:With the exception of those individuals who remain in a state of denial (or who are just plain disingenuous), it is evident that there is no longer a debate over which types of optical crossconnects will reign supreme for at least the next three to five years. Optical to Electrical to Optical (O-E-O) crossconnects will make up the lion’s share of the long-haul core and edge spaces, and there will be very little penetration of all-photonic devices. As a result, the key question right now is what can we learn from the history of the cross-connect business to help us anticipate how the O-E-O market is likely to evolve.

Review Datapower XS40 XML Security Gateway: Comprehensive XML & Web Services Security on a Hardened Network Device ZapNote / ZapThink, LLC:XML appliances have recently emerged as a category of network device that can address XML and Web Services security and performance issues that traditional network appliances cannot. To properly secure XML traffic, a device must operate on the content of the messages that pass through the network, and take appropriate action on parts of each message. Clearly, such content-based operations are resource intensive, which is the primary reason for solving such problems on dedicated hardware devices like the DataPower XS40 XML Gateway. DataPower’s XS40 appliance can handle a wide range of XML security, performance, transformation, and routing, functionality, all at wirespeed, in a security hardened appliance that requires little skill to install and administer.

Review Accelerating Processing in an Event-Driven Service-Oriented Architecture Presentation / ZapThink, LLC:Very high performance event-driven SOA is essential for building discoverable, loosely-coupled services which will meet the volume, transaction rate, and implementation cost threshold for real-time Web Services. Ron Schmelzer from ZapThink will discuss how four coupling models (request/reply, publish/subscribe, routed events, and reliable messaging) underpin event-driven SOA. Greg Brown, Director at Tarari, will show how hardware-accelerated Random Access XML (RAX) is used to dramatically increase sustained throughput and peak capacity of each of these coupling models while lowering deployment costs.

Review Case Study ZapNote: The Hartford ZapNote: Web Services Management Adoption at an Early Adopter / ZapThink, LLC:The insurance industry is leading the economy in the adoption of Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs), and The Hartford is an early adopter of these technologies among insurance companies. When it became necessary to update an agent tool that required integration to a heterogeneous collection of back-end systems, taking an SOA approach was a natural fit for them. The Hartford realized early in this project that they needed to acquire a Web Services management (WSM) solution, so they established formal selection criteria, invited several vendors to participate, and narrowed the selection down to two vendors. They then put those two vendors through an exhaustive, three-week proof-of-concept in order to determine which vendor would meet their needs. This case study details The Hartford’s selection process, and the criteria they used to make the selection. As an early adopter, The Hartford’s approach can serve as a useful lesson for companies in many industries considering a WSM solution.

Review Optical Networking in the Metro Core : A Preliminary Look / CIR, Inc.:There are certainly stark contrasts between optical network developments in the long-haul space and the metro core. Strategies for designing networks in the metro are much more complicated and diverse and, therefore, can take a much lengthier time to be implemented. (See Exhibit I) Of course, another reason for the long delays is a result of the stringent and costly operations requirements of the RBOCs/ILECs (Regional Bell Operating Companies/Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers), which have to be met before equipment can be placed into their plants. Nevertheless, CIR is very optimistic that several suppliers, including some new entrants, will find some lucrative business opportunities based on their current marketing strategies.

Review Ultra Long-Haul DWDM : Market Explosion or a Modest Opportunity? / CIR, Inc.:As with many new solutions in the optical systems market, Ultra Long-Haul Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (UL-HDWDM) has received its fair share of hype. UL-HDWDM holds open the promise of optical links stretching thousands of kilometers without much need for intermediate regeneration. There are obvious advantages, especially on paper, to such an approach, which might lead one to believe that such a space could explode in a big way. However, CIR research indicates that the reality of the cost parameters and network structures of telecom networks will result in a much different outlook for the technology.
