UBS's worldwide data centres will be consolidated into two centres in Zurich, linked by a Nortel optical campus network, based on Nortel's OPTera* Metro 5200 Multiservice Platform.

The platform uses DWDM technology, more commonly used in long-distance carrier networks, to deliver a massive 10Gbs per second per channel to the bank's storage network.

This is Nortel's first announcement of DWDM in a storage or short-distance application.
