Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a configurable optical peering fabric to dynamically create a connection between participant sites without any physical site limitations or necessity of specialized client and network provider equipment being located within such a facility. Client sites to a network may connect to a configurable switching element to be interconnected to other client sites in response to a request to connect the first client site with a second site, also connected to network, via the switching element. A request may trigger verification of the requested and, upon validation, transmission of an instruction to the switching element to enable the cross connect within the switching element. The first site and the second site may thus be interconnected via the switching element in response to the request, without the need to co-locate equipment or to manually install a jumper between client equipment.

Dynamic optical switching in a telecommunications network

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for generating customer solutions using real-time information for new customer sales and/or current customer support. In one implementation, technical infrastructure information for an installed network design providing one or more telecommunication products at one or more customer sites is retrieved. Customer service analytics are generated based on the technical infrastructure information and output for display on a graphical user interface.

Systems and methods for generating customer solutions

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for monitoring optical communications between a managed location and a remote location. In particular, an optical signal is transmitted over an optical fiber and passed-through a test device. A portion of the optical signal is filtered from the original optical signal and passed to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may instruct one or more switches in the test device to loop the optical signal back toward the managed location. Subsequently, testing and monitoring may be performed at the managed location. The device may provide a test output or may transmit the information to the managed location.

Optical test device and systems

Embodiments herein include methods and systems for use in delivering resources to a client device over a local network. An exemplary system comprises a plurality of caching devices operable to cache resources on behalf of a plurality of content providers, and a local caching device communicatively situated between an access network and the client device, wherein the access network is communicably situated between the plurality of caching devices and the local caching device. The local caching device is operable to retrieve a requested resource from at least one of the plurality of caching devices, deliver the requested resource to the client device over the local network, and store the requested resource for future requests by other client devices.

Content delivery network with deep caching infrastructure

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for data center redundancy in relation to a computer network. In particular, the present disclosure provides for one or more available redundant data centers, or bunkers, associated with a computer network. In one embodiment, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb traffic intended for an application operating on a data center when the traffic threatens to overwhelm the application. For example, during a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb some of the traffic from the DDOS attack to prevent the application that is the target of the attack from being overwhelmed.
