Photonic Performance Gauge
Optimize optical performance with unprecedented visibility
Traditionally, real-time visibility into the performance of the photonic network has been limited. Often, a network path appears to be in working order, but an error will occur when traffic is switched onto this path, causing network downtime and service interruption.
And now, with Photonic Performance Gauge, part of our award-winning family of Liquid Spectrum™ Analytics Apps, you gain unprecedented real-time visibility into the state of your photonic network to achieve the optimal balance of network performance, efficiency, and availability. To learn more about how Liquid Spectrum Apps, including Photonic Performance Gauge, can transform your operations, watch our video and read our blog.
Maximize system performance
Ciena’s award-winning Photonic Performance Gauge uses new real-time link performance metrics and advanced end-to-end photonic layer automation to provide instant visibility into the health of the photonic network—even where no wavelengths are deployed.
Key benefits
Simplify network operationsDelivers unprecedented visibility of ongoing optical performance in the network, even on sections without any wavelengths.
