The ability to create and deliver new, differentiated, and operationally efficient services is the key to your competitive position and profitability. The service-driven network offers automated provisioning and configuration, and unified management, to help simplify network architecture and ensure greater efficiency and resiliency while reducing costs.
Optimized service delivery enables you to create a multitude of services and service levels with significantly reduced time to market and unique, value-added features, including:
True Carrier Ethernet solutions provide a single platform for offering a common, consistent way to deliver the full range of Ethernet services with enhanced levels of management simplicity, speed, and agility.
Simpler management
- Automation though zero-touch, automated device configuration and service provisioning
Faster speeds
- Increased bandwidth speed with delivery of 1 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s subscriber services
- Decreased time to revenue via software-configured hardware while service profiles optimize service turn-up
Comprehensive solution
- A portfolio of network elements to address any deployment situation with granular service definitions mapping precisely to your needs
- Feature sophistication and service differentiation with robust SLAs, QoS and Ethernet OAM coupled with security and scalability
Programmable end-to-end optical solutions allow providers to provision services, not networks, for revenue growth, simplicity, and a new paradigm in service delivery.
Revenue growth
- Any service, including storage, video, Ethernet, SONET/SDH, OTN, wavelength, full-rate 10GbE
- Anytime via bandwidth-on-demand, provisioned in real time
- Anywhere beyond the metro; through a global, automated mesh-protected network
Simplicity
- Discovery, connection management through the control plane
- Programmable ports, connections, wavelengths means no truck rolls
- Automated with self-healing mesh for six-9s availability
A new paradigm in service delivery
- Service-aware connections from a pool of bandwidth resources
- Assured data, meaning SLAs you can count on
- Granular OTN uses fewer wavelengths for more efficient, shared capacity use
Virtualized optical WAN solutions provide converged, optimized data center and storage connectivity options that create economic leverage for all mission-critical applications from data center to enterprise IT backbones.
Converged
- Any WAN mix of OTN/WDM, SONET/SDH, Carrier Ethernet, and IP/MPLS
- Anywhere from across town to across the globe
- All simplified via common network view and configuration practices
Optimized
- Flexible – any “mapping” paradigm, from port-based for lowest-latency, to flow-based for resource efficiency
- Efficient – use connectivity and bandwidth as needed
- Specialized – application-specific aggregation and mapping based on information priority
- Assured – reliable, deterministic performance all the time; measured and reported
Economic leverage
- Providers get enhanced service utility with minimized physical WAN resources
- Enterprises get reduced attached-equipment resources, such as switch and router ports
