Ciena Waveserver Ai – server slot filler

Waveserver Ai was designed to address evolving density and power requirements for ultra-high-capacity interconnect applications while retaining the simplicity and ease of deployment for which Waveserver products are known. Its unprecedented density, scale, and capacity per wavelength allow Internet Content Providers (ICPs), Data Center Operators (DCOs), and communications service providers to drive down energy and transport costs and increase their competitive differentiation. With its full suite of management interfaces and open APIs, Waveserver Ai is easy to operate and integrate into existing networks and facilitates mass deployment of on-demand cloud and high-capacity connectivity services.

Harnessing Ciena’s WaveLogic Ai coherent optical technology, Waveserver Ai offers the scalability required to satisfy the largest interconnect requirements, from metro to ultra-long-haul distances. With the strong performance and programmability offered by WaveLogic Ai, operators can maximize capacity at any distance by tuning capacity from single-carrier 100 Gb/s to 400 Gb/s in 50 Gb/s increments. The platform can operate at a selectable baud rate of 35Gbaud or 56Gbaud to trade-off channel throughput for optical performance and spectrum usage. For long-haul applications, where wavelengths were previously limited to 100 Gb/s, operators can now upgrade these links to 200 Gb/s; on regional links previously limited from 150 to 200 Gb/s, operators can now attain capacities of 300 Gb/s. By extending the distance of higher bit-rate wavelengths, Waveserver Ai provides better economics and more fiber capacity for DCI networks.
