PROJECTS

Google Leased Wave Testing Acceptance Standards

Google was leasing circuits but there was not a clear testing acceptance criteria at hand.

Developed a testing acceptance document for leased transparent wavelenghts as well as lower rate SONET

/ SDH / Ethernet Circuits

Google Sparing Analysis

Google was paying costly yearly fees for Sparing Services to Optical Vendors.

Analyzed data and performed Equipment Sparing Analysis based on FITS (equipment failure rate ),

Network Availability Goals and global regional equipment density cost justify owning our own spares.

Realized significant recurring financial savings for Google.

Google Optical Network Management System

Google’s optical network was being managed without Network Management Servers

Gathered information on existing Optical Management Servers projects and successfully troubleshot and

launched the first Optical Network Management Servers for Google

Google Optical Coherent Network Evolution

Google’s optical long haul network first grew over legacy non coherent Optical Networks. The goal was to

evaluate, test, and migrate these networks to 100 Gig Coherent Optical Networks

Lab Tested Coherent optical networks, worked with Network Architecture to set revise Network

Performance recommendations ( Q values ) , also worked with Network Deployment to assist on First Field

Applications and successfully migrated the first non ­ coherent Routes to 100 Gig Coherent .
