WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE THE NETWORK SPECIALIST?At Ciena, we specialize in helping organizations of all kinds transition to an on-demand experience so they can thrive in today’s application-centric environment. We are enabling cloud-based services on-demand by leading the industry toward an ecosystem for open software control and building the programmable packet-optical network to deliver those services.

With more than 20 years of technology leadership, we offer a strong commitment to customer success. In fact, our entire business approach as the network specialist is structured to help organizations leverage their network as a highly strategic asset—one that contributes to their organizational objectives and bottom line.

Our approach is rooted in three core beliefs

Relationships come first We approach every engagement with transparency, accountability, and an understanding that trust is a continuum, earned over the long term. We partner with our customers to co-create a joint road ahead for their business, their network, and a plan to implement change that optimizes both.

Focus on true core competencies Ciena has stayed true to the principle of depth over breadth. We believe specialization is the only way to ensure industry-leading technology, so we stick to true core competencies and ours are focused on creating new ways to make networks perform to the new standards of an on-demand environment.

Customer-inspired innovation Our inspiration to innovate comes directly from the dynamics of each customer’s business and network. We hold nearly 2,000 patents, contributing to the success of more than 1,000 of the world’s largest, most reliable networks.

Architectural philosophy

Architectural requirements are evolving to drive performance and user experience. We believe the on-demand experience requires a network that leverages open software control to transform capacity to capability. We’ve applied our expertise to develop OPn®, an ecosystem-based architecture designed for the on-demand experience required by user applications and the information-powered agility needed by operators to shift to on-demand business models.

Tailored solutions for a competitive advantage

Ciena’s portfolio is designed for both business and network change. We provide the industry’s most programmable packet-optical and Ethernet platforms along with robust network control and application software for the emerging open ecosystem. Our comprehensive professional services help our customers maximize their network investment and achieve their critical business objectives.
