Are you growing your share of the business services market?

Remote working, cloud adoption, and new IoT and mobile apps are boosting enterprises’ connectivity and bandwidth needs.

These trends are increasing the size of the business services market by 10.7 percent year-on-year (CAGR) , presenting major commercial opportunities for operators who can add scalable, efficient business services to their portfolios.

Key business services delivery challenges

Many operators use their IP-MPLS infrastructure to roll out new business services. While this kind of network supports any-to-any connectivity and scalability to thousands of sites, it’s not always cost-efficient for high-bandwidth applications, which are increasingly common.

In addition, the MPLS routers needed for IP VPN and other key business services have acquired more and more protocols and complexity over the last few decades. The cost of implementing all of these protocols—and securing them against attack—has driven leading service providers to demand a radically simpler way of building networks.

Deliver scalable business services faster, simpler, and at a lower cost

To help you bring scalable business services to market faster, simpler, and at lower cost, Ciena has created a portfolio of application-specific solutions.

Our portfolio allows you to:

  1. Speed up time to market for your business services with pre-configured, application-specific devices and Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) capabilities that help you minimize deployment times and costs, with no need for costly truck rolls.

  2. Reduce your infrastructure footprint and costs with a single, compact, energy efficient device architecture to deliver Layer 1 services, Layer 2 services (E-Line, E-Tree, E-Access, and Transit E-Access), and Layer 3 services (segment routing, IP-VPN, and IPv6), as well as Private Line Services (PLSs), and virtualized services.

  3. Support your current and future traffic demands by scaling seamlessly from 1GbE to 10GbE, 25GbE, 100GbE and beyond—enabling you to deliver scalable business services for your enterprise customers, with the option to enter the wholesale market when it makes commercial sense.

  4. Get carrier-class reliability with equipment that leads the industry in terms of reliability metrics, plus we offer CE 2.0 and MEF 3.0 compliance across our portfolio for QoS assurance.
