At the event, CALIENT will showcase its S-Series Optical Circuit Switches that are being deployed in very high volumes in web-scale data center optical networks to deliver improved utilization of expensive compute and storage resources.
Also on display will be the recently announced SD-WAN application that allows service providers to accelerate deployment of software-defined networking (SDN) across the WAN regardless of the vendor or vintage of the transport system deployed.
David Altstaetter, CALIENT’s Senior Director of PLM and Solutions, will present on a panel of industry leaders from Microsoft, Equinix, and TeliaSonera on data center interconnect (DCI), titled: “DCI – Enabling Seamless Connectivity between Data Centers.”

CALIENT S-Series Optical Circuit Switches
CALIENT builds the highest port density Optical Circuit Switches (OCS) in the networking industry. The S-Series includes the S320, a 320-port OCS and the S-160, a 160-port OCS. The switches allow any-to-any network connections with almost no latency and can be reconfigured on demand through network management or SDN controllers via a range of standard APIs. Small form factor, extremely low power consumption, almost unlimited scalability, and Telcordia-grade reliability make the CALIENT switches ideal for a range of data center and service provider applications.
