Managed & Maintenance Services
One thing’s for certain. Nothing is routine about enabling your network to meet customers’ unprecedented, rapid-fire expectations.
Imagine being able to anticipate problems, leveraging the right tools and automation to diagnose incidents and expedite troubleshooting, and proactively assess performance 24/7.
We help make it happen.
Ciena’s Maintenance Service provides end-to-end support for network hardware and software. And when you want Ciena to manage your IP or optical network or advanced network solutions, we offer a robust suite of Managed Services from our Network Operations Centers (NOCs).
Our team is here for yours. It’s about a close-knit customer relationship built on trust, support, and expertise.
Managed Services
Focus on what matters most. Let us do the rest.
Whether managing your network or your customer’s, it can be tedious, complex, and—when not executed properly―costly. Finding the right people with the expertise to support multi-vendor environments is difficult—keeping them trained and happy even more so.
All of this can distract from your core business. There’s a better way.
Ciena’s Managed Services provides expert management from our NOC facilities, following ITIL best practices for incident and problem management, performance management, analytics, and more. Our experts make sure your IP or optical, virtualized edge, SD-WAN, or private 5G networks―and the business they power―keep running strong.
