With its FiberConnect 320X product and new Photonic Switching Subsystems, CALIENT delivers the throughput and the connectivity to support the rapid growth currently seen in network traffic within and between Data Centers. These networks which are growing from 10 Gbit/s to 40 and 100 Gbit/s benefit from the scalability, configurability, and low power and cost per port offered by CALIENT’s solutions.

Data Center & Cloud Applications

Data Centers: Video and Cloud Computing are driving huge growth in Data Center server deployments. This, in turn, is leading to rapid network speed expansion within the Data Center, scaling from 10 Gbit/s through 40 Gbit/s and even to 100 Gbit/s. CALIENT’s Photonic Switching Systems enable this growth and provide the physical layer support to manage resource utilization based on time-of-day or intelligent network algorithms.

Cloud Computing: CALIENT’s Photonic Switching Solutions delivers the throughput and the connectivity to provide automated fiber interconnect infrastructure for a large number of cloud computing applications, ranging from carrier hotels, to Ethernet peering points to hosted content centers. In these applications, photonic switching provides the any-to-any fiber management and interconnect needed to manage the massive fiber optic networks.

Automated Fiber Monitoring & Management: CALIENT’s all-Optical Switching Solutions enable 100% monitoring of input and output power levels on all paths. In a complex facility this can offer a high-value contribution to fault isolation within the local optical network. In addition, Photonic Switching supports on-demand network reconfiguration or patching without the need for a costly labor force in every facility location.
