Ciena unveils Advanced Packet-Optical Platforms for Intelligent Infrastructures

Ciena Corporation has announced the strategic evolution of its packet-optical portfolio designed to enable intelligent infrastructures using advanced silicon, software and switching technologies. With these new platform configurations, Ciena's market-leading intelligent switching, optical control plane and coherent optics combine to provide the most economical way to support existing and emerging services over a network that is efficient, resilient and differentiated. By integrating these innovations across multiple packet-optical products, Ciena provides its customers with a complete, applications-optimized portfolio that offers maximum flexibility for their next-generation core and metro networks.

As the industry trends toward more mobile and cloud-based applications, the delivery of private line and Ethernet services, which today represent 77 per cent of the $91-billion market for telecom business services, must become more dynamic and efficient.

In analysis of existing network models, Ciena research shows that 30-60 per cent of traffic through a typical core router site is transit traffic that does not need to be routed. Therefore, managing this traffic with a broader mesh of OTN switching and connection oriented Ethernet with integrated wavelength division multiplexing can result in 25-40 per cent cost savings versus a pure IP-routed network.

"Our surveys indicate most carriers see OTN transport and switching as the foundation for future networks, with rollouts of this technology coinciding with their plans for large- scale 40G and 100G deployments. Service providers of all types like OTN for different reasons: router bypass, efficiently packing 100G wavelengths with 10G traffic, or providing transparent private line connections. As a leader in 40G and 100G transport technology, Ciena is very well positioned to bundle the accompanying OTN switching equipment," said Andrew Schmitt, directing analyst, optical at Infonetics Research.
