Ciena's proven DCOM solution is already helping hyperscalers simplify out-of-band (OOB) management and scale operations more efficiently. Now, as AI, cloud, and edge computing increase operational complexity and infrastructure demands, a wider range of organizations need the same scalable approach. Wayne Hickey explains how Ciena’s expanded DCOM portfolio simplifies OOB network management, reducing complexity and supporting growth. Read more: web.ciena.com/wz8Ahk

ACE cable system consortium is leveraging Ciena’s 6500 powered by WL6e to upgrade one of its key routes linking Western Europe, West Africa, and South Africa, delivering more than 30 Tb/s. The deployment meets the rising connectivity demand from more than 500 million people, expanding bandwidth over the current infrastructure while limiting disruption to live traffic.
