Ciena leads in 100G/400G DWDM optical transport, Packet-Optical convergence, and software-defined optical networking — from data center interconnect (DCI) to long-haul transport.
Ciena is a global leader in 100G/400G/800G DWDM optical transport. With long-haul, metro, Packet-Optical convergence, and software-defined optical networking (SDN), Ciena delivers massive bandwidth at low latency and high reliability. Major carriers and hyperscalers worldwide rely on Ciena equipment for their backbone networks.
Inter-data-center traffic grows exponentially every year driven by AI, cloud, OTT, and 5G. Existing 10G/100G infrastructure cannot keep up, and simply leasing more circuits is not cost-effective. Ciena's high-density DWDM transports tens of terabits per fiber, solving DCI cost and performance simultaneously. Software-defined wavelength and bandwidth allocation also delivers operational agility.
As a Ciena Authorized Partner, Expernet has delivered DCI and long-haul optical transport for carriers, public agencies, and large data centers. We support the full project lifecycle from optical budget calculation, wavelength design, leveraging existing fiber, fault recovery architecture, and ongoing maintenance.
AI-driven WaveLogic technology flexibly tunes bandwidth from 100G up to 400G+ in software.
Integrates Ethernet switching and optical transport into one platform — fewer devices, lower TCO.
Ultra-low-latency optical links between primary and DR sites, supporting synchronous replication.
Ciena MCP centrally manages the entire optical network in a software-defined manner.
Interoperable with third-party transponders — protect existing investment and enable multi-vendor designs.
Real-time performance monitoring, path optimization, and AI-based fault prediction.
Ciena reference configuration
ChallengeLegacy SONET equipment was aging and replication latency between primary DC and DR site missed RPO/RTO targets.
SolutionDeployed Ciena WaveLogic 400G with MCP for DCI, enabling synchronous storage replication.
OutcomeLatency under 1 ms, zero RPO achieved, equipment count reduced by 50%.
From technical evaluation to deployment and operations — we support the entire lifecycle.
