Achieve the highest networking speeds and performance
Partner with OEM’s to provide carrier-grade capabilities, such as scalability, reliability and quality of service using SDN packet optical equipment. Optical technologies are designed for the most demanding enterprises and carriers. Utilise them to their fullest potential with leading-edge network transmission and programmability whilst allowing for flexibility.
NFV outperforms traditional methods in a fraction of the time
NFV is the building blocks for developing a network that delivers new service instances in a fraction of the time that traditional methods used. NFV allows virtualisation in networks with benefits to easily turn up network services. Services include VPN, firewalls, load balancing, routing and switching.

STEP 1
TRANSFORMATION
When considering SDN: we propose that a multi-stage or phased approach is required to achieve a holistic SDN transformation. In this case, Ciena is an excellent provider because their products and feature allow them to virtualise multi-layer networks and immediately achieve automated, end-to-end service provisioning with simplified operations. The immediate results are more scalable and include the delivery of better performing services. This leads to lower capital and operational costs.
STEP 2
BREAK SINGLE VENDOR LOCK-IN
Expand the scope to include varying levels of integration with third-party products. This can be achieved with Ciena’s Blue Planet. By breaking the historic single vendor lock-in, it provides a framework for best-in-class solutions and more competitive price points.
Incorporate SLA assurance tools
Blue Planet’s ability to add SLA assurance reporting tools provides immediate differentiation and innovation with most services. Blue Planet will provide A-to-Z provisioning across multi-vendor networks and expand on the ability of STEP 1 for additional operational and economic benefits.
STEP 3
EXTEND VIRTUALISATION
Leverage Blue Planet’s unique ability to incrementally extend virtualisation to the full vision of SDN – orchestrating across virtualised networks to deliver dynamic Networks as a Service (Naas). Blue Planet is evolving to provide these SDN and NFV orchestration services to better align network resources with enterprise and cloud applications to achieve disruptive new network economies.
Leap frog your competitors
Ciena is already leading the industry by demonstrating these SDN and NFV orchestration concepts with their Blue Orbit ecosystem partners. As these solutions evolve beyond proof of concept demos and early trials to scalable deployable solutions, Ciena’s customer base will be well positioned to lead frog their traditional competitors, providing revolutionary new services.
Intelligent Automation Software Solutions – with Ciena’s Blue Planet
Blue Planet Intelligent Automation Platform
IT combined with networks is a powerhouse combination. The Blue Planet Intelligent Automation Platform is a comprehensive, open software suite that empowers service providers with deep insights about the network, to optimise business processes that span IT and Network functions.
Make IT and Network operations smarter and more agile
Blue Planet powers closed-loop automation through multi-domain, multi-layer orchestration combined with inventory federation, analytics and route optimisation and assurance – unlocking network potential and business agility. While working across multi-vendor domains and by supplying open APIs, Blue Planet enables the delivery of a range of end-to-end services with fast time to market and exceptional performance, at reduced operational costs.
Micro-services architecture
Blue Planet is built around the concept of container-based micro-services that provide the ability to deploy and benefit from disruptive web-scale technologies, easier integration with third-party solutions, reduced resource utilization, and the ability to add new features more quickly, with no service interruption. This approach significantly increases the agility of the orchestration platform, reducing OPEX and the CAPEX of adding new features to the platform.
