Abstract

A demonstrator has been installed in a field environment in Deutsche Telekom's project `global seamless networks' (GSN+). Three local storage area networks (SAN) in different laboratories are linked together via fibers with lengths of 80 and 860 km. This testbed within the GSN+ demonstrator is used for testing SAN extension and demonstrating new SAN services. The SAN services are based on the fibre channel over SDH protocol. The SDH network connection can be initiated by the customer, i.e., all the services are SAN extension on demand.
