Multi-layer intelligent control plane
Unprecedented automation and resiliency across your network
Today, providers are on the path to realizing the Adaptive NetworkTM鈥攕o they can readily meet changing customer expectations and unpredictable traffic requirements. Ciena鈥檚 field-proven, mutli-layer, intelligent control plane offers more control over your network鈥攆or the freedom to make changes to bandwidth profiles based on specific demand or to offer levels of service that meet end-user requirements. Additionally, it enables a network that can rapidly adapt to problems, outages, maintenance issues, and other changes that might adversely affect performance and reliability.

Increased survivability at the right economics
花魁直播has extended its control plane technology out from the core into the metro, access, and long-haul subsea networks, as well as the photonic domain. Ciena鈥檚 intelligent control plane works in conjunction with Ciena鈥檚 Manage, Control and Plan (MCP), and OnePlanner Unified Design System to provide:
- Substantially lower network OPEX with auto-discovery, low-touch service creation, and zero-touch restoration
- Reduced CAPEX by leveraging automatic photonic protection in conjunction with OTN restoration to survive multiple failures with less-deployed equipment
Reduced CAPEX and OPEX, automated network operations for increased survivability and accelerated service turn-up are key elements in Ciena鈥檚 vision for transforming the network into a more programmable, intelligent, and revenue-generating asset.
Unprecedented network resiliency
The ability to restore any service鈥攁nytime and anywhere in the network鈥攊s a critical to enable a more programmable infrastructure that can respond on demand to meet unpredictable traffic demands. Ciena鈥檚 intelligent control plane enables a self-healing network that can withstand multiple simultaneous failures across the network. Restoration paths are continually discovered, and services are rolled over automatically鈥攆ailure after failure鈥攖o ensure constant network survivability.
New differentiated services
Although automation is a vitally important for speed and reliability, Ciena鈥檚 control plane includes many options that can be fine-tuned to meet the specific network and service demand. Now you can efficiently offer the highest resiliency with a wide range of service-level guarantees and zero surprises from the network. Differentiated SLAs can be offered with latency-aware optimization for time-critical financial applications, lower MTTR for unprotected services, and protected wavelength services at new economics.
Proven reliability across the globe
Ciena鈥檚 intelligent control plane is deployed in large (1,000+ node) networks with field-measured six-9s (99.9999%) reliability, making 花魁直播a leader in providing fast and efficient network restoration schemes, improving service restoration speeds from months to minutes. With Ciena鈥檚 multi-layer intelligent control plane, providers can offer highly resilient networks that can automatically survive multiple failures at new and improved economics.
