Service Delivery
Switches
(LE-311v, CN 3911,
CN 3920, CN 3940,
and CN 3960) are
available with a range
of 10/100M Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
and 10GbE physical
port counts, to fit small,
medium, and large
customer sites and
multi-tenant office
buildings precisely,
with placement in
customer premises,
on the sides of buildings,
or on utility poles.
Service Aggregation Switches
(CN 5140 and CN 5305) provide FE/GbE/10GbE
aggregation to better fill the transport facilities
within both the metro access and aggregation tiers
and ultimately minimize the number of IP/MPLS
router ports with which they interwork. These
switches can be deployed in a wide variety of
locations, including business parks, outside plant
cabinets, and in central offices.
The CESD portfolio incorporates the latest
innovations in Ethernet switching technology, control
plane protocols, encapsulation techniques, Quality
of Service (QoS) capabilities, and Operations,
Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
mechanisms. This combination enables the service
provider to deliver carrier-grade business services
backed up by verifiable Service Level Agreements
(SLAs) with rigorous performance and availability
guarantees.
However, the CESD portfolio is much more than just
a set of network devices. It is a unified portfolio that
employs a common service-aware operating system
and Ethernet Services Manager (ESM) system to
provide exceptional operational efficiency and
consistent system and service attributes across all
Ethernet access and aggregation applications.
With Cienas CESD portfolio, service providers can
optimize all aspects of the service lifecycle,
accelerate time to revenue, and increase profitability.
The common service-aware operating system and
ESM automate device and service provisioning and
provide the ability to implement the latest
standards-based Ethernet technical advances across
all platforms in a network rapidly and automatically.
Cienas Ethernet business service solutions enable
the transition to service-driven networks
combining software intelligence and programmable
devices to create low-touch, high-velocity networks.

Problem
Current service provider
networks are complex
and not easily
integrated. New service
delivery is a complex
and resource-intensive
effort. Slow customer
adoption of new services
is common due to high
implementation costs
and the complexity of
integration with the
core network.

Problem
Utility and petrochemical enterprises rely on slow and
expensive connectivity media, such as dial lines, to
transport critical infrastructure-monitoring data such
as SCADA. Security applications, including outdoor
cameras, can not be monitored in real time with
current levels of capacity at the substations.
Solution
The CN 3911 eliminates slow, expensive copper dial
lines, converging the substation applications onto a
single, manageable Ethernet network. It also provides
ample bandwidth to support video, voice, and data at
the substations, for better protection and
management of utilities field assets.

Problem
Large, multi-tenant buildings typically require numerous pieces of
hardware and software to service the variety of tenants and their
unique requirements. Landlords and building owners are
apprehensive about placing large amounts of telecom equipment in
their basements.
Solution
Landlords and building owners can reduce the number of service
providers in their buildings and still offer their tenants a number of
business communications services.

Application Example: 10 Gb/s Service Delivery
Problem
Bandwidth-aggressive enterprise applications such as storage,
BC/DR, video, and server virtualization traffic require large amounts of
bandwidth to run correctly. Typically, large and numerous hardware
platforms would be required to deliver multiple high-capacity services
such as 10GbE, increasing maintenance, management, and service
delivery costs.
Solution
Deliver multiple 10GbE and 1GbE services over a single platform.
Utilize a full line rate of 48 Gb/s to deliver more high-bandwidth
services in a marketwithout significantly increasing management
and maintenance costsand reduce rack, power, and cooling space
required to deliver the same capacity with other service methods.

Problem
Aggregating multiple services requires purchasing dedicated hardware
to deliver services before they are sold to the end-user. Service
providers up front costs to implement new services are higher.
Solution
A high-capacity, high-density aggregation device that allows service
providers to aggregate services from multiple locations and application
types without sacrificing performance or SLAs. Additionally, new
Ethernet services can be provisioned without disrupting or reconfiguring
the core network, reducing maintenance and downtime issues.
