6500 Packet-Optical Platform

A key platform with a successful track record serving as the cradle of numerous technological innovations such as coherent optical processing. The 6500 offers best-in-class switching and transport for all DCI applications, including:

• One platform for switching, DWDM, transport, and photonics
• Multiservice support including Fibre Channel and native digital video protocols
• Single platform for 10G/40G/100G DWDM transport over any distance (metro to submarine)
• Flexible modulation (BPSK, QPSK, 8QAM*, 16QAM) for best application fit
• Packet capabilities (aggregation, switching, OAM)
• Multiple form factors (6500-2, 6500-7, 6500-14, 6500-32) for an optimized application fit
• Wire-speed encryption

8700 Packetwave Platform

A multi-terabit packet-over-coherent DWDM platform combining the best of the metro network with the best of the data center. The 8700 provides cost-effective, packet-aware aggregation and switching that facilitates the interconnections of today’s data centers. Features include:

• Programmable multi-terabit packet-over-coherent DWDM switch
• 4-slot (800 Gb/s) and 10-slot (2 Tb/s)
• Compelling economics
• Twice the 10GbE density (fastest-growing port speed)
• Half the power and space, significantly reducing ongoing operational expenses related to energy and real estate
• Single programmable platform integrating Ethernet, MPLS-TP, and 100G WaveLogic 3 Nano DWDM optics
• Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) that eliminates manual operational tasks related to system turn-up
• Massive scalability (400G-ready)
• Rich set of packet OAM tools and capabilities to proactively and reactively maintain the overall health of the packet network

Waveserverstackable interconnect system

The latest addition to Ciena’s field-proven DCI solutions, designed from the ground up to address web-scale DCI applications at any distance. Waveserver was built on two key principles, WaveLogic economics and web-scale IT, to create a stackable interconnect system with the aim of providing simple yet programmable web-scale DCI solutions. The Waveserver extends the IT practices currently used in servers toward the networking function, where the attributes of programmability and openness are now part of the tool set. Features include:

• Breakthrough high capacity (up to 400G client + 400G line) in a compact, 1RU footprint
• Flexible line interfaces, with QPSK, 8QAM*, and 16QAM, for the highest capacity at any distance from metro to long-haul requirements
• Runs Linux, similar to a data server, but to set up connections manually or automatically via open APIs
• Communicates with Ciena or third-party applications via open REST API access
• Simple to install and operate, requiring little to no technical support. Personnel familiar with installing and turning up data servers will have no issues installing the Waveserver system
• Anytime, anywhere management via mobile devices
• Offers an open development and test environment so end-users/developers can create, test, and fine-tune their own applications
• Enables new economics for cost of transport, such as lower cost per transported bit; lower cost per bit per rack; low power consumption; compact, space-saving design; and scalable modular architecture
• Achieves a new level of scalability—its 1RU footprint provides the modularity for rack-and-stack deployments
