Likely a good place to start:

http://www.nanog.org/meetings/abstract?id=2086

 

Ciena, Cyan, Adva, Infinera, Cube Optics, even some cisco ONS stuff.  All
have their pros and cons...

Can anyone give any pointers where to start on DWDM, any good books/blogs
etc?



Ideally looking for a 'idiots guide', I have a good handle of what DWDM can
provide, but I need to be able to understand/explain the components that
form part of a DWDM solution including things like protected rings, failover
mechanisms etc..



I need to investigate this for a client for a mix of fibre channel/Ethernet
over 2 diverse pairs of dark fibre, each pair with its own equipment. And I
need a good understanding before I approach any vendors.



Also - any recommendation on vendors? Looking at around 8 wavelengths
initially but need room to scale, initial thoughts are ciena or transmode.



Also if anyone has done this before and can give a rough price how much this
kit should cost it'd be very handy.



Cheers

Steve
