Description
The Ciena Waveserver is a compact, high-capacity optical transport platform engineered for data center interconnect (DCI) and high-bandwidth networking environments. Housed in a 1RU form factor, it delivers up to 2.4 Tbps of line-side capacity using coherent optical technology and supports 100GbE and 10GbE client interfaces. Its modular design includes hot-swappable QSFP28 client ports and CFP2-DCO line optics, enabling flexible deployment across metro and long-haul applications. Designed for scalability and energy efficiency, the Waveserver is optimized for space-constrained environments without compromising performance.
Key features include integrated WaveLogic coherent optics, support for programmable line rates from 100G to 200G per wavelength, and a web-based interface for simplified provisioning and monitoring. The platform supports open APIs and network automation tools, making it suitable for modern, software-defined networking (SDN) strategies. With redundant, field-replaceable power supplies and fans, the Waveserver ensures high availability and ease of maintenance. Ideal for buyers seeking reliable used network hardware, it provides a cost-effective solution for expanding optical transport capacity.
