Achieving IP/Optical Convergence: Building from Existing Networks

July 8, 2021

Enterprise and residential market dynamics, 5G, and the cloud are driving new applications—and creating new revenue opportunities for Communications Service Providers (CSPs). But these emerging use cases are also creating challenges: new traffic patterns, the move to virtualized and distributed applications, and the need for higher bandwidth and lower latency connectivity to end-users. IP/Optical convergence can play a key role in helping CSPs address these, but where does the path to architecture evolution begin? For every CSP, the journey is unique. With Ciena’s solutions, CSPs can start—and build—from their existing networks to evolve to a more streamlined, programmatic infrastructure that can serve as the foundation for innovation in the distributed services and content era.

A Connected and Automated Mobility perspective June 2022

whitePaper | May 18, 2022

Mobility is a fundamental necessity of our society. We need to move people and goods from one place to another for many different motivations. As a fundamental cornerstone of our way of life, mobility must be efficient, secure, inclusive, green, and smart. Smart in the sense that mobility must leverage the potential of digital technologies to achieve all the other goals. In this digitalization of mobility, connectivity emerges as a key element. Interconnecting all the elements involved in mobility and enabling the exchange of information is an extremely powerful tool towards this dual green and digital society of the future.

5G Open RAN Ecosystem

whitePaper | June 29, 2021

There is no end to the process of network augmentation, and current augmentation process needs to be further enhanced to better serve the future customer needs. To this effect, the networks should be flexible, agile and scalable. In addition, in the 5G era, creation of new vertical markets utilizing the mobile networks will be facilitated. Under these circumstances, operators need to keep evolving their networks by adding new network equipment and/or replacing existing equipment. With open interfaces and open application programming interfaces (APIs), operators can freely choose and adopt best-of-breed solutions among various vendors considering time-to-market and cost in this process by only adding or replacing the required components at the required time without having to swap other equipment that are connected.

Threat detection and response in cloud environments

whitePaper | December 20, 2022

Cloud environments change fundamental assumptions in how to perform threat detection and response. The highly dynamic inventory of cloud workloads means systems come and go in seconds. When system configuration errors are introduced during a build, they can be exacerbated and amplified when automation replicates the errors across many workloads. Shared responsibility with the cloud service provider (CSP) creates potential threat detection gaps in the attack lifecycle.

Smart Grid Powered by 5G SA-based Network Slicing

whitePaper | February 20, 2020

5G network slicing is an ideal choice to enable smart grid services. It divides the 5G network into logically isolated networks, where each one could be seen as a slice. 5G network slicing allows the power grid to flexibly customize specific slices with different network functions and different service level agreement (SLA) assurances according to the different requirements of the various services on a power grid.
