Abstract :
The Data Center LAN has traditionally been a network contained within a single location and has not required carrier class capabilities. However the optical networking component of the Data Center LAN will become increasingly important as this LAN will be forced to grow into something between a carrier class metro network and a campus WAN due to the trend to distribute Data Centers and move them closer to the end users of the services they provide, both over the internet and over private networks.
