Adaptive IP Apps

Optimize IP network performance

IP is what connects everybody to everything. Demand for high-performance applications is ever-increasing, especially with the surging adoption of AI, and IP networks are expected to deliver. The problem? IP networks are complex, and it's a challenge to adapt to dynamic market demands quickly.

Ciena's Adaptive IP™ Apps solve the problem. As a part of Ciena's Navigator Network Control Suite (Navigator NCS), Adaptive IP Apps bring network operations to a new level with real-time visibility across multi-vendor IP networks. With insight into how routing behavior is affecting customer services, you can quickly engineer data traffic to optimize IP network performance. This paves the way to an automated, open, and lean Adaptive Network.

A better approach to Adaptive IP

Adaptive IP Apps collect extensive data from multi-vendor IP devices and present IP/MPLS analytics intuitively so that you know exactly how your network is performing at all times. You can even roll back time to diagnose past issues. Need to adapt? Define your business policies and let Adaptive IP Apps automated traffic engineering do the work for you.

Seamlessly integrated with Ciena's Navigator Multi-Layer Controller (Navigator MC), Adaptive IP Apps give you ultimate software-defined control and automation over your IP network.

How we live and conduct business is changing, and networks must evolve to efficiently handle the rigorous demands of remote work, high-def video streaming, the Internet of Things, and more. Ciena’s Adaptive IP solution allows us to take advantage of technologies like segment routing and edge computing to sustain existing services while preparing for new ones like 5G and 5G private networks.

Features and benefits

  1. Multi-vendor, path-aware, service-aware analytics

    Adaptive IP Apps collect and analyze real-time telemetry from all devices in the network, deriving routing and service performance metrics to enable rapid troubleshooting and improved customer service. What-if analysis can model failures, traffic growth, and hardware additions to avoid adverse traffic flow impacts.

  2. Multi-layer visibility

    Working with Navigator MC, Adaptive IP Apps provide consistent operational workflows across optical, Ethernet, and IP layers, enabling multi-layer performance optimization to extract the most value from your infrastructure.

  3. Automation of operational workflows

    With the help of automated IP path computation, Adaptive IP Apps provision traffic-engineered tunnels based on policies, constraints, and network state to ensure a high-quality experience for end-customers.

Realize the benefits now

Ciena Services delivers single-point-of-service management so you can quickly deploy your solution and start realizing your vision of analytics-driven, automated operations in record time.
