Telenor’s objective

You're looking to broaden your service portfolio and address new customer segments, and your data center investments provide a unique opportunity to achieve this. Additionally, you need to be competitive in the market around data center interconnect opportunities, to attract new hyperscaler customers.

The challenges you face

Whether it’s the current geopolitical situation, technology revolution, or proliferation of digital services, cloud computing, and IoT devices, you need to meet the growing demand for secure data storage and processing capabilities.

As telecom networks expand and evolve to support new technologies such as edge computing and high-definition video streaming, there is also a need for more robust and distributed data center infrastructure. We can enable you to deploy data centers closer to network edge locations, reducing latency and improving performance for end-users.

How Ciena can support

By leveraging our DCI network solutions, you can scale your data center operations and diversify revenue sources beyond traditional telecommunications services.

Benefit from world-class networking support

We can provide world-class networking and connectivity support, not only for your own data center real estate, but also for your wholesale interconnect offering.

Our industry-leading DCI network solutions enable fast, resilient, and high-performance connectivity. They deliver millisecond latency experiences between data center clusters and support innovative cloud connectivity architectures – meaning you can benefit from unparalleled efficiency in network scalability, operations, and power usage.

Maximize operational efficiency

In addition to our own DCI capabilities, we also work with hyperscaler customers to optimize out-of-band server management at data centers. This involves moving away from Ethernet connectivity with one port per server and deploying XGS PON-configured Ciena plugs. The approach can help to dramatically reduce the cost of managing out-of-band servers, while also reducing ‘moving parts’ and therefore technical and support issues.

This is an area where we can pass on innovative solutions developed and implemented by some of the world’s largest hyperscalers to maximize operating efficiency and simplicity – while at the same time reducing network TCO.

Don't just take our word for it:

“Our customers have the highest demand for quality and availability. With Ciena as a key partner, we look forward to offering our customers increased capacity at even shorter lead times.”
