FlexSelect™ Architecture & CN 4200™ FlexSelect Advanced Services Platform

A practical approach to profitable convergence

Why are we here?

» On May 16th, Ciena will make two announcements that further define the next generation of its network vision:

» 1 - FlexSelect Architecture – a blueprint for packet service migration that combines programmable hardware with service-oriented management to automate provisioning, transport and management of any mix of services, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, storage and video

» 2 - CN 4200 FlexSelect Advanced Services Platform – the first proof point in Ciena’s FlexSelect Architecture to create service-selectable networks supporting voice, data and video services on any port of any line card using completely remote service provisioning and management

FlexSelect Architecture: The Right Service Mix at the Right Time

» Market Dynamics:

» Timeline for L1 & L2 migration

» Increased network complexity

» Focus on costs

» What our customers need:

» Maximum service flexibility

» Minimal costs (↓CAPEX ↓OPEX)

» Increased service velocity

» Who needs this:

» Cable & Telco service providers

» Enterprises / Government Just right
