Cyan technology is an important element in allowing us to automate, provision, and manage Ethernet transport and Carrier Ethernet services regardless of the vendor equipment we choose, scale our metro network resources, and provides us with a path to future SDN and NFV-based applications and services.” Colt has deployed a next generation network called Modular Multi-Service Platform. The network is architected for scale, simplicity and service agility. It is designed to meet the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth, while maintaining strict service requirements and also allowing for success-based growth and expansion over time. In order to do this, Colt introduced several network innovations:
- A Layer 2 Carrier Ethernet metro network simplifying service provisioning as well as reducing the number of different types of equipment required.
- A multi-vendor design that enables the service provider to choose best-in-class platforms at each point in the network, optimize cost and performance, while having access to the latest technologies and innovations.
- Software orchestration that delivers unified access and an end-to-end view of the network, providing multi-vendor network automation, management, and usability.
Cyan technology is also supporting Colt’s efforts to connect data center hosted compute resources with network resources to enhance end-to-end performance and develop the flexible and agile service types that CIOs demand today.
