Mainframe vs. PC Battle
Ciena is pointing to the future of Optical Transport
Traditional design approach : Mainframe:
- faster, bigger telecom-specific ASICs
- Proprietary, highly integrated optics
- Functionality tailored to a specific protocol/task
Ciena is building the first Programmable Optical Layer
- Fully programmable blades that can be
reprogrammed to any need and application
- Pluggable optics from a wide variety of vendors
(just like 3rd-part PCI cards)
- Taking advantage of datacom FPGA + NPU’s

FPGA Technology rapidly approaching the capabilities of ASICs
Allows to build hardware with Software defined functionality
Ciena’s FlexSelect technology is an example where
Transponder, muxponder, ring add-drop,
sub-wavelength grooming, and cross connect
can be SW-configured
Less planning, fewer cards, configurations, and spares

What is FlexSelect?
It is not a marketing campaign
FlexSelect is an architecture that consists of a set of strategic tools
integrated across the network that allow customers to transition to
Ethernet/IP at their own pace
It is a network vision we’re committed to

Ciena believes three identifiable functions comprise a full Ethernet solution
Ethernet Demarcation: The point at which Ethernet services or Ethernet transported
services enter the provider network.
Ethernet Transport: The deterministic aggregation and forwarding of packet flows from
application clients to servers, or from demarcation devices to service creation platforms.
Ethernet Service Switching: Service creation and service aware platforms, with enhanced
per-service visibility and fully featured bridging functions.
