Dynamic Wavelength Routing: The Sensible Approach to ROADM (pdf)
ROADM systems add an all-optical switching capability to the network that can be extremely valuable to carriers. The agility to switch, drop, and add traffic at the optical layer becomes more important as service bandwidth profiles approach the 10 or 40 Gb/s data rates of a wavelength. Ciena's CN 4200 ROADM saves immediate capital expense and provides the scalability to defer the cost of adding bandwidth on the network.

Think Storage Network Extension, Think Ciena (pdf)
Choosing the right storage network extension solution is based upon the amount of data that needs to be moved between data centers, the performance requirements of the applications in use and the solution’s cost. Luckily, regardless of whether an organization is replicating a single terabyte (TB) database across town, or moving 50 TB to a new data center located hundreds of miles away, Ciena provides a best-in-class solution for robust, secure, resilient and high-capacity storage extension networks.

Ethernet Compression (pdf)
Enterprises IP networks that connect multiple locations across long distances often use Ethernet as the protocol of choice, because it provides high throughput to key data center applications. This demand for inter-data center connectivity continues to grow as enterprises support more remote applications, and they must do so with limited budgets and without allowing IP congestion issues to affect application performance. Ciena’s CN 2000™ Storage Extension Platform is a powerful solution for IP congestion issues at the edge of the data center, because it maximizes WAN efficiency and provides increased throughput, while leveraging existing assets without requiring additional WAN bandwidth.
