Data center out-of-band management
Breakthrough simplicity and scalability
Purpose-built for modern data center demands
The challenge
AI and cloud workloads are driving rapid data center growth. Legacy out-of-band (OOB) management networks are complex and can鈥檛 scale to support existing and future data center demands. Bulky copper cabling, limited rack space, and excessive power and cooling requirements are increasingly problematic.
Our approach
Ciena鈥檚 data center out-of-band management (DCOM) replaces legacy OOB architectures with a streamlined, PON-based solution, easing provisioning and configuration with less equipment and less cost. This purpose-built solution combines Ciena routing platforms with innovative PON systems and control software.
The benefits
DCOM dramatically simplifies the design, deployment, and operation of OOB management networks with a highly scalable and cost-effective solution. It centralizes network provisioning, streamlines operations, and significantly reduces rack space, power, and cooling鈥攁ll without compromising performance.
Revolutionizing data center management with PON technology
Discover how Ciena and Meta reimagined data center management using a PON-based architecture鈥攃utting 99% of rack space, reducing power, and streamlining remote access. This white paper breaks down how hyperscalers can ditch legacy OOB for a smarter, scalable future.
