Systems Integration Service
Simplify complexity
Our Systems Integration Service ensures that you minimize risk and maximize performance when you turn up new services and capabilities in your network. We encompass solution validation, focusing on validating new capabilities before implementing them in the network, relying on our lab testing and engineering expertise. We also focus on solution integration, designing and building customized architectures that combine Ciena products and third-party network components, ensuring peak network performance.

Solution validation
Our engineers validate—in either a Ciena lab or yours—new software releases, hardware, or complex solutions and use cases before implementation in the production network. We apply our lab testing expertise to help you reduce risk and minimize service disruption when deploying new capabilities in your network.

What is a network digital twin? And why is it relevant to AIOps?
The term ‘digital twin’ became popular well before AI took off. For years, network operators have been using digital twin capabilities to model and verify network behavior – minimizing network emulation and testing in the lab, which can be prohibitively expensive, power-hungry, and time-consuming. Ciena’s Mark Bieberich explores how network digital twins are even more relevant in the context of an AIOps strategy.
