Integrated SDN-Enabled Packet-Optical
Solution: BTI & Juniper Networks
Jointly Validated Interoperability and Unified
Provisioning, Control and Management
Overview
opportunity. Tying together diverse network elements can be operationally complex consuming valuable time and money. Provisioning
and troubleshooting services across layers, vendors, and technologies
can be labor-intensive and error-prone creating frustration for end
customers.
BTI Systems and Juniper Networks have teamed up to deliver a tightly
integrated packet-optical networking solution that accelerates service
deployments, simplifies operations, and improves economics. By
combining best-of-breed platforms, the solution ensures seamless
interoperability while providing unified management across a common
SDN architecture. This solution brief reviews the capabilities and
benefits of the integrated solution.
Unified Solution Accelerates Deployment and
Simplifies Operations
BTI Systems has collaborated with Juniper Networks to deliver a
fully integrated packet-optical solution that eliminates deployment
barriers and simplifies ongoing operations. The versatile solution helps
providers accelerate service deployments by simplifying provisioning
and streamlining network deployment and capacity expansion efforts.
The joint solution minimizes operational expenses by unifying provisioning and management across BTI and Juniper platforms. It also
fosters programmability and simplifies OSS and BSS integration by
exploiting a common software-defined networking (SDN) architecture.
The unified solution is ideal for Juniper Networks customers who
are implementing dynamic 10G or 100G metro optical networks to
expand capacity, address new markets, or support new services.
Challenges: Multivendor Management & Service
Agility Barriers
Service Providers and Cloud Providers are continuously expanding
packet-optical networks to boost capacity and support new business
initiatives. Multivendor interoperability and management issues can
lead to project delays, added operational complexity, and performance
issues, which can delay revenues from new services. Conventional
packet-optical networks are typically based on separate layers of
discrete routing and optical networking equipment that are independently managed and offer limited programmability and optimization

Figure 1: Integrated BTI and Juniper Networks Solution Features
Unified Management and a Common SDN Architecture
Key elements of the integrated solution include:
• A unified optical layer comprised of BTI 7800/7000 Series Packet
Optical Transport systems, BTI 800/700 Series Carrier Ethernet
platforms, Juniper Networks PTX Series Packet Transport Routers,
and Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers with
10G or 100G optical interfaces (grey and colored interfaces). BTI
Systems and Juniper Networks have jointly verified seamless interoperability across the photonic, IP and Ethernet layers.
• Common provisioning and management with BTI proNX Control
Software. The software monitors and controls BTI and Juniper
Networks elements to enable a common adaptive optical layer
tightly integrated with IP services. It eliminates swivel-chair
management, providing a single view and a common administrative
user experience for BTI and Juniper Networks devices.
• Comprehensive inventory, topology, configuration, fault, and
performance management across BTI and Juniper Networks
elements through BTI proNX Control Software and associated
applications. BTI proNX supports end-to-end optical-layer
provisioning (enable/configure channels, wavelengths, etc.) and
services (MEF 2.0) across a multivendor environment. And it
provides unified administration (network backup/restore, upgrade,
security monitoring, reporting, etc.) for both BTI and Juniper
Networks devices.
• Abstract northbound REST APIs via BTI proNX for integration
with Juniper’s NorthStar SDN Controller or other standards-based
SDN controllers such as OpenDaylight. The REST APIs enable
straightforward integration with emerging SDN/NFV management
architectures and simplify integration with external BSS and
OSS applications, including Juniper Networks’ WANDL traffic
management solution.
Deliver more competitive and profitable services
>> Seamless interoperability minimizes qualification and
training efforts to accelerate time-to-market
>> Unified management simplifies administration, reduces
operating expenses, increases services agility, and
improves customer satisfaction
>> End-to-end optical provisioning increases staff productivity
and streamlines customer turn-up using less trained staff
leveraging intuitive tools and processes
>> REST APIs and SDN architecture simplify OSS and BSS
integration and unleash innovation

• BTI proNX management clients that leverage the capabilities of the
BTI proNX Control Software, and are targeted at specific user tasks
to provide a tightly integrated solution:
–– BTI proNX Service Manager (PSM) provides a complete FCAPS
element, network and service management solution that
includes provisioning templates, configuration wizards, and
one-click service activation features that eliminate manually
intensive and error-prone tasks, accelerate bandwidth turn-up
and capacity expansion, and simplify operations. PSM supports
all BTI networking platforms, components and services, as well
as Juniper Networks PTX Series Packet Transport Routers and
Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers
–– BTI proNX Dashboard provides a concise view of the health
and performance of BTI and Juniper Networks elements and
allows network administrators to quickly drill down into detailed
information to identify the root cause of network and service
problems. The dashboard displays network-wide alarms and
events as well as performance and inventory data on a single
screen, and it provides utilization summaries that enable network
administrators to quickly identify where resources need to be
augmented.
