Global cloud and AI solution providers are challenging the industry for new innovations that can help scale network designs. You asked. We listened. Enter?Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 Nano (WL6n) 1.6T Coherent-Lite pluggable , which is the?first offering that brings coherent technology to data center applications . The 3nm coherent ASIC used in WL6n enables the 1.6T pluggable through support of 1.6TbE client support, 224G SerDes electrical lanes, and dual 800LR data paths within a single DSP chip.?
Why is a 1.6Tb/s pluggable needed, and what exactly is Coherent-Lite??
Today, Blue Planet’s AI Studio offers CSPs a growing number of pre-built, out-of-the-box AIOps use cases. Drawing on the Blue Planet team’s years of experience applying Machine Learning (ML), analytics and other AI technologies, these use cases enable CSPs to apply AI across the full-service lifecycle to improve customer experience, speed time to market, and lower operating costs.?
Some use cases focus on prediction and prevention of faults, while others help to forecast traffic growth and manage services across network layers and domains (access, transport, core, and cloud networks, for example). Figure 1 below shows the full set of use cases, with four key capabilities explained in the blog.?
