The case for network modernization

Author: Ciena Corporation
Date: August 2012

Introduction:

The combination of the communications market’s rising costs, the present unprecedented economic situation, and customers shifting to services and technologies that demand ever higher bandwidth, puts service providers at the epicenter of a “perfect storm”: Business is being squeezed from all sides.

This paper takes a look at why network expansion or supplementation is no longer sufficient. It is time for network modernization.
How operators can drive out inefficiencies, reduce operational costs, capture new service revenue, and meet traffic demands by transforming to modern, intelligent infrastructure.
