Manage, Control and Plan (MCP)
MCP is Ciena’s domain controller, unifying and automating network and service operations of Ciena’s packet and optical infrastructure across access, metro, core, and subsea domains. It eliminates manual, time-consuming, error-prone steps between multiple, legacy management systems by synchronizing operations across network protocol layers so operators can quickly plan, provision, manage, and assure end-end services deployed over Ciena packet-optical networks.
