Ciena + Cyan: a great combination
Gary Smith talks about our Cyan acquisition
- “Ciena and Cyan make a great combination for our customers as they transform their networks with web-scale technologies to go beyond delivering capacity to create capabilities on demand," said Gary Smith, president and CEO, Ciena. "We believe this acquisition advances our strategy to deliver a complete on-demand solution for virtualized networks and services, and greater control and choice for customers in an open ecosystem.”
Ciena’s Blue Planet division was created to ignite a network transformation by enabling true end-to-end service orchestration. And as a team, we are on a mission to deliver. The Blue Planet division is dedicated to preserving the open, multi-vendor focus that made Blue Planet the most-recognized and celebrated SDN and NFV software suite in the industry trusted, not just by customers, but by the vendor community at large.
Our disruptive software, collaborative approach, and earnest desire to change an industry, not just a single network, has earned our team some of the highest honors in our space.
Ciena has always been an extremely focused thought leader and trusted advisor to customers. With Blue Planet, we have taken the same, focused approach to helping customers automate services—from creation to orchestration to delivery—across both physical and virtual domains. Our software reduces operational costs by abstracting network complexity, creating space for innovation and differentiation through a level of service programmability that was previously unachievable.
