Adaptive IP Apps

Level up with real-time visibility across multi-vendor IP networks

IP is what connects everybody to everything. Demand for high performance applications is ever-increasing and IP networks are expected to deliver. The glitch? IP networks are complex, and it’s a challenge to adapt to dynamic market demands quickly.

Ciena’s Adaptive IPTM Apps deliver the goods. As a component of Ciena’s Navigator Intelligent Apps, Adaptive IP Apps bring network operations to a new level with real-time visibility across multi-vendor IP networks. With insight into how routing behavior is affecting customer services, you can quickly engineer data traffic to optimize IP network performance. This paves your way to an automated, open, and lean Adaptive Network.

The smarts of Ciena’s Adaptive IP approach

Ciena’s innovative approach features Adaptive IP Apps which collect extensive data from multi-vendor IP devices and present IP/MPLS analytics intuitively so that you know exactly how your network is performing—at all times. You can even roll back time to diagnose past issues. Need to adapt? Define your business policies and let the Adaptive IP Apps’ automated traffic engineering do the work for you.

Seamlessly integrated with Ciena’s Navigator Multi-layer Controller, Adaptive IP Apps give you ultimate software-defined control and automation over your IP network.

How we live and conduct business is changing, and networks must evolve to efficiently handle the rigorous demands of remote work, high-def video streaming, the Internet of Things, and more. Ciena’s Adaptive IP solution allows us to take advantage of technologies like segment routing and edge computing to sustain existing services while preparing for new ones like 5G and 5G private networks.

Features and benefits

  1. Multi-vendor, path-aware, service-aware analytics

    Adaptive IP Apps collect and analyze real-time telemetry from all devices in the network, deriving routing and service performance metrics to enable rapid troubleshooting and improved customer service

  2. Multi-layer visibility

    Adaptive IP Apps are integrated with our Navigator Multi-layer Controller for consistent operational workflows across optical, Ethernet, and IP layers, enabling multi-layer optimization to extract the most value from your infrastructure

  3. Automation of operational workflows

    Adaptive IP Apps include a path computation engine (PCE) to automate IP path computation and the provisioning of traffic engineered tunnels based on policies, constraints, and network state, helping assure a high-quality experience
