Case Study: Global Cloud Connectivity Provider achieves future-proof, lower-cost high-capacity networking with Ciena Services

Global Cloud Connectivity Provider Deploys Advanced Optical Technology with Transformation Partner Ciena Services

Global Cloud Connectivity Provider needed to upgrade its optical infrastructure to meet rising demand for high-capacity bandwidth, improve spectral efficiency, and reduce cost per bit with minimal downtime. To address these networkwide transformation challenges, it engaged Ciena and Ciena Services, along with WaveLogic coherent optics technology, to help plan and implement the upgrade.

Ciena replaced the legacy fixed-grid network with a flex-grid architecture supporting next-generation coherent optics, enabling bandwidth scaling from 100G to 400G and faster service provisioning. The result was a future-proofed network with higher capacity, better spectral efficiency, lower operating costs, and the ability to launch enhanced services quickly with minimal downtime, helping the provider serve customers more competitively.
