Enterprise IT shift to cloud-based services continues to grow unabated, not just for lower costs, but also for increased multi-cloud flexibility.

With more business and mobile applications moving to edge cloud hosting 100GbE emerges as the next necessary upgrade between access locations and data centers – also preparing enterprises for private, high-capacity connections to cloud service providers. Ciena’s Routing and Switching portfolio allows network providers, cable operators, and large enterprises to put more capacity even closer to where the demand for bandwidth lives.
