You know your customers increasingly need the cost-effectiveness and flexibility of Ethernet. You also know they can't lose the deterministic performance, reliability, and ease of management they're used to with legacy services. You have to do it all: maintain your customers' existing data and TDM services, provide them with the benefits of Ethernet, and still ensure MEF compliance.
Ciena's FlexSelect Architecture already is a practical, field-proven approach to transitioning to a service-enabled transport network that's flexible, adaptable, manageable and assured. Now we're extending those qualities to Ethernet with our FlexSelect for Ethernet solution, which integrates new performance-grade Carrier Ethernet capabilities across the network.
FlexSelect for Ethernet combines the critical performance qualities of our FlexSelect Architecture with the efficiency and economic benefits of Ethernet. It's the most cost-effective and practical approach for migrating legacy services and networks onto a next-generation Ethernet-optimized service infrastructure. By integrating multiservice Ethernet/MPLS packet functionality with OTN-based transport and other innovations, FlexSelect for Ethernet helps you increase provisioning speed and accuracy, reach more customers with Ethernet, and support your traditional services.
Ciena makes Ethernet performance-grade so you can scale new IP and Ethernet service revenue more profitably while lowering the cost of maintaining current services. Now Ethernet is a viable vehicle for convergence.
