Overview
ChallengeMigrate Cisco San Jose headquarters campus local access network from individual OC-48 SONET rings to a campus-wide OC-192 SONET infrastructure
SolutionCisco ONS 15454 switches in each Cisco building and four local exchange carrier (LEC) points of presence (POP)
ResultsEasier expansion of customer-provided access to additional buildings, and greater control over capacity planning
Next StepsNow that major circuits are migrated, migrate T1s

Background: Connecting Cisco Employees to Outside World
Access to Cisco WAN, PSTN, or Internet requires connectivity to public switched telephone network (PSTN)
A local access network connects Cisco campus and the local exchange carrier (LEC) or inter-exchange carrier (IXC) point of presence (POP)
Local access network is based on synchronous optical networking (SONET) technology

Background: The Legacy Cisco Local Access Network
Cisco owned local access infrastructure for eight buildings with highest circuit volume; leased from LEC for remaining 40+ buildings
When LEC owns local access infrastructure, capacity is often shared by other nearby companies
Drawback: potential project delays while LEC provisions more capacity

Background: Before, Six Disconnected SONET Rings Touch Eight Buildings

Challenge: ‘Spot Solution’ for Local Access No Longer Met Business Needs
Problems with Cisco’s legacy local access infrastructure:
Difficulty of adding unlit buildings to SONET rings—or even adding more SONET capacity to buildings on the rings
High management burden
Inefficient capacity planning: ring by ring
Large footprint and power requirements for legacy equipment

Challenge: Reduce Local Access Costs
If LEC owns local access infrastructure, Cisco pays tariff rates
If Cisco owns local access infrastructure, Cisco pays:One-time fee for infrastructure
Lower monthly usage fee for circuits
Whether customer-provided access or LEC-provided access is more cost-effective comes down to volume

Solution: Campus-Wide Infrastructure
Interconnects 26 Cisco buildings with four central office locations
Multiple LEC locations provide redundancy and fault tolerance
Cisco ONS 15454 switches in each Cisco or LEC location

Solution: After, Two OC-192 Rings Touch 26 Buildings

Solution: Cutover Process
The challenge: migrating more than 800 voice, video, and data circuits without disruption!
For each circuit:Cisco personnel removed circuit from production
SBC technician at Cisco repatched circuit from the legacy SONET switch to the Cisco ONS 15454 switch
SBC technician at CO moved cross-connect at the same time
Cisco circuit owner verified proper operation and put it back into service
Elapsed time: 5 to 10 minutes per circuit
Critical services experienced no down time, because traffic was rerouted across a redundant path

Results: Easier Expansion to Additional Buildings
Now 26 buildings instead of eight enjoy the benefits of customer-provided access:
Cost savings
Simplified capacity planning
Reduced footprint and power requirements
Cisco IT can relatively easily extend its SONET infrastructure to additional buildings as their local access needs grow

Results: Greater Control Over Capacity Planning
Expanded SONET infrastructure enables Cisco IT to self-manage local access capacity in more buildings—26 instead of 8
Cisco no longer must gamble that LEC can provide additional capacity when needed
If a lab moves, Cisco IT provisioning team runs usage and capacity reports on-demand to determine whether additional circuits are needed

Results: Reduced Costs
Cisco paid one-time fee to the LEC for a dedicated SONET structureMonthly bills dropped 14% compared to the cost for single-building connectionsReal estate savings
New construction costs for San Jose campus = $150 per square footLegacy equipment required 160 square feet, or $24,000Savings for providing OC-48 access in 26 buildings = $624,000Additional savings: $6.65 per square foot in yearly operating costs, or $27,664 PLUS, more space available for expansion or for other network initiatives

Results: Reduced Footprint and Power Consumption
Background: Legacy infrastructure to support OC-48
Foreground: Cisco ONS 15454 infrastructure to support OC-48 and OC-192

Next Steps: Migrate T1 Circuits
Migration of large circuits is complete (May 2005)T3, Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3, OC-12
Next up: T1 and primary rate interface (PRI) lines
To ensure uninterrupted phone service, Cisco IT will “busy out” each circuit so that calls roll over to the next line
Key to success: careful planning and coordination with service provider!
