OUR COMMITMENT
Ciena: A committed collaborator to maximise your network performance and sustainability
In this eBook, we’ve shown how sustainability, cost savings, and increased performance can work together at every stage of the network lifecycle—from design, through operations, to decommissioning and replacing end-of-life equipment as the network evolves.



NETWORK DESIGN
- Select energy-efficient network equipment
- Use compact pluggables to minimise site impacts
- Get more capacity out of existing assets
- Combine multiple services on a converged platform
NETWORK MANAGEMENT
- Gain full visibility into the network to drive decision-making
- Improve resource utilisation and performance with AIOps
- Unlock further efficiency gains with automation
NETWORK EVOLUTION
- Prioritise sustainable packaging when buying new equipment
- Keep end-of-life equipment out of landfill by using refurbishment and recycling services
