The rapid growth of AI and cloud workloads is fueling data center expansion, but outdated out-of-band (OOB) management architectures are costly, inefficient, and challenged by escalating power and cooling demands. Ciena’s data center out-of-band management (DCOM) replaces legacy OOB systems with a modern, PON-based network. DCOM revolutionizes data center infrastructure management (DCIM) with a streamlined, fiber-based PON solution, simplifying OOB management by centralizing provisioning, optimizing operations, and reducing rack space, power usage, and cooling costs.
