Can anyone give any pointers where to start on DWDM, any good books/blogs etc?
Ideally looking for a 'idiots guide', I have a good handle of what DWDM can provide, but I need to be able to understand/explain the components that form part of a DWDM solution including things like protected rings, failover mechanisms etc.. I need to investigate this for a client for a mix of fibre channel/Ethernet over 2 diverse pairs of dark fibre, each pair with its own equipment. And I need a good understanding before I approach any vendors. Also - any recommendation on vendors? Looking at around 8 wavelengths initially but need room to scale, initial thoughts are ciena or transmode. Also if anyone has done this before and can give a rough price how much this kit should cost it'd be very handy.
