Modernising networks for simplicity, scalability, and sustainability
Keeping your network optimised is full of challenges. While your customers demand new services and increased flexibility, you still need to support legacy services. All this is combined with the pressing need to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and limit risk.
Ciena can work alongside you to ensure network modernisation success and support network architecture transformation to deliver newer and faster services to customers and end-users.
Modernising networks for simplicity, scalability, and sustainability
To optimise efficiency, maintain reliability, and meet organisational challenges—such as the need to cut operational expenses and limit risk—it’s crucial to modernise legacy technology. Learn how Ciena can work with you to ensure network modernisation success and support network architecture transformation.
Strike a balance between upgrades, costs, and business risk
Modernising your network comes with the challenge of balancing limited CAPEX with the pressure to reduce costs and the risks of legacy equipment failure and security threats.
There are proven solutions that can alleviate some of the challenges. Done right, a modernised network can lead the way to better and higher performing infrastructure that benefits both you and your customers.
We’re here to help you economically achieve greater simplicity, scale, and sustainability.
Enhance your network and migrate legacy services
Whether you’re updating existing technology or upgrading to migrate legacy services, we can help transform your network to handle rapid traffic growth and deliver huge volumes of data.
Future-proofing network environments by converging services onto the same network architecture and increasing automation to optimise multi-layer network performance and improve traffic management means future services can be delivered over an existing network without requiring major changes.
No one else has the exact combination of challenges as you, but we’ve learned a few things over the years helping customers around the world. We’re here to help you sustain existing services while you create an automated, future-proof, and sustainable network that helps you achieve your service delivery goals.
Design the secure and resilient networks of the future with someone you know and trust
Maintaining legacy equipment and networks comes with risks. Harder and costlier to maintain and secure, keeping it up and running becomes more challenging the longer it stays in place. Overbuilding new networks on legacy kit is no longer an option because the risk of failure is too great.
Replacement with up-to-date systems that are simpler, faster, and greener means you can deliver a better network experience to end-users straight out of the box.
