Maximize uptime, reduce costs, and boost network efficiency
Data centers power the digital economy—running cloud platforms, enterprise apps, AI/HPC clusters, and digital services with no tolerance for downtime. As east–west traffic grows and topologies sprawl across buildings and floors, operators must eliminate manual fiber tasks, accelerate change windows, and hold a strict line on security and cost.
XENOptics makes Layer-1 change software-defined. A robotic, non-blocking fiber fabric, it’s reconfigurable from the NOC—no truck rolls or manual patching, and no service impact. Passive latching keeps light paths up through power events and module swaps; field-replaceable modules preserve continuity. Typical switches finish in tens of seconds.
Built to scale, XSOS-288 delivers a 144Ă—144 matrix (to 1,728 ports per rack side; 3,456 with dual sides), while XSOS-576D offers 576 ports and ~7,000 managed ports in back-to-back racks. Both mount in standard 19-inch racks and ship connectorized for clean MMR and spine/leaf integration. For tight pods and edge rooms, CSOS provides the same automation in a compact, short-depth chassis.
Replace manual ODF work with a robotic, non-blocking L1 switch fabric. Queue changes, execute reliably, and audit every action—so migrations, failovers, and lab validations finish on time and under change-control.
Passive latching maintains established light paths during field activities and power interruptions. A super-capacitor finalizes in-flight moves safely, cutting risk during maintenance windows.
Grow from a single row to campus-scale with consistent workflows. XSOS maintains carrier-class optical budgets in connectorized builds, suitable for long patch-runs and dense panel fields.
Operate with a zero-trust posture. NMS provides role-based access, external auth, and immutable logs. Orchestrate via Web, SNMP, and RESTful API; interactive shells (Telnet/SSH) are reserved for internal support only.
Automate cross-connects between carriers, tenants, and fabric spines. Enforce change control, speed up handoffs, and record every move.
Use XSOS as a central L1 switching layer for SAN uplifts, lab A/B tests, or temporary migrations without touching production panels.
Standardize workflows across floors/buildings. A common NMS and API ensure the same policies apply everywhere—from core halls to edge rooms.
Spin up reproducible test topologies and A/B paths on demand. Reset pods to a known-good state in seconds.
Offer cross-connects as a service with strict RBAC and customer-facing workflows, while keeping physical access minimized.
A multi-floor facility connects compute, storage, and border fabrics through an XSOS core in the MMR and CSOS nodes near edge rows. Each unit sits in a standard rack, tied into structured cabling, so operators can scale without recabling or re-patching. Using the NMS dashboard, teams pre-stage entire connection sets and queue them for automatic execution during nightly windows.
During a storage migration, host uplinks swing to a parallel array for validation. Operators run IO benchmarks, confirm stability, and then roll forward. The robotic switch fabric completes each cross-connect in under a minute, with no manual patching, no cage access, and full traceability across every step. Passive latching ensures all live circuits remain intact, even if a module is swapped or power is interrupted.
When a carrier turn-up slips, the workflow simply pauses in the task queue until the next approved window. No stranded hands-on time, no wasted site visits—just pending commands waiting to be released. The result is a repeatable, software-defined process that cuts risk, eliminates downtime, and aligns change control with facility operations.

Notes: Values reflect connectorized systems—the standard field configuration for data centers. Telnet/SSH are reserved for internal support; customers operate via Web/SNMP/REST.
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, hyperscale data centers are essential for enterprises striving to maintain competitive advantage and service reliability.

Subsea capacity only moves at the speed of the shore end. If circuit turn-ups at your cable landing station (CLS) still rely on manual patching and scarce maintenance windows, you’re leaving bandwidth—and money—at the waterline.

Your fiber layer doesn’t need constant power. Passive-latching optics draw energy only when switching, then idle at ~6 W—cutting ~85–90% of the ~50 W “always-on” load of motorized cross-connects. The payoff: lower OPEX, steadier SLAs, and zero-touch NOC provisioning.
