Service Offering Scenario B—Connecting Multiple Sites

In certain cases, customers prefer to have primary and secondary sites connected by optical networks such as DWDM or SONET/SDH for high density and reliability. However, because of disaster recovery requirements, corporations might need a third site to protect all their business needs in case of a disaster. FCIP is preferred to connect the secondary site to the third site as shown in Figure 4-7.
