All the benefits of multi-vendor, converged networks without the operational headaches
The IP/Optical convergence trend is in full swing, yet there continue to be challenges on the network operations side. Lack of coordination across IP and optical operations is not only inefficient but also could cause network faults. Ciena’s Marie Fiala explains how having one point of management control of your high-performance, multi-layer network delivers you all the benefits of convergence and eliminates fragmented, complex network operations. Come see it live at upcoming events.

Making IPoDWDM a Reality
The commercialization of 400G coherent pluggable optics in QSFP-DD and OSFP form factors has sparked a resurgence of interest in integrated colored optics in routers, known as IP over DWDM, or IPoDWDM. To date, IPoDWDM is dominated by hyperscalers, but some leading-edge communications service providers (CSPs) have followed the hyperscalers’ lead. Longer term, the real opportunity among CSPs is with high performance coherent pluggable variants generally referred to as ZR+. The ZR+ pluggable optics provide greater reach and the ability to run over telecom operators’ reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM)-based line systems.
