Overview:
When a United States-based financial services company needed to decrease latency and address growing bandwidth needs, Ciena provided the solution: a near-zero latency optical network that increased efficiency and improved capacity, reliability, and compliance.

Ciena's comprehensive management platform gives the financial company the network visibility needed to avoid outages and maintain application performance. The CN 4200's software-programmable ports allow the operations staff to turn up bandwidth or activate any service between any endpoint without a costly and time-consuming truck roll.

By deploying a private optical network based on CN 4200 platforms, the financial services firm transformed its network infrastructure into a strategic asset and laid a foundation for continued competitive differentiation.
