DAY 2 THE INCOMPAS SHOW
I n today’s web-scale world, where more
applications reside in the cloud, busi-
nesses need the assurance their data are
secure at rest and in-flight.
An industry first and backed by Ciena’s
coherent optics, the WaveLogic Encryption
solution offers new optical-layer encryption
capabilities to match high-capacity infrastruc-
ture needs from 10G to 100G, 200G and
beyond, from metro to ultra-long haul distances.
This solution provides simple-to-implement,
always-on, data encryption.
Security solutions exist to protect data at
rest. However, high volumes of critical data are
continuously in-flight, traveling beyond the walls
of the data center and across large networks.
Additionally, an increasing number of govern-
ment-mandated regulations for data protec-
tion have made securing in-flight data a higher
priority in networks.
“High-profile security breaches are
commonplace in the news today,” said Ster-
ling Perrin, senior analyst at Heavy Reading.
“Service providers tell Heavy Reading repeat-
edly that security risks are the number one
concern when they talk to their enterprise
customers today.
“These concerns are only rising as more
and more data moves to the cloud. And, while
encryption inside the data center or enterprise
campus is well established, service providers
are now realizing that encryption of in-flight data
is an important component of their holistic secu-
rity strategy,” Perrin said.
He explained, “By integrating security func-
tions directly into its coherent chipsets, Ciena’s
WaveLogic Encryption provides protection from
breaches for all high capacity links, something
we believe will be well received by both service
providers and their end customers.”
With Ciena’s WaveLogic Encryption solution,
data can now be secured as it leaves the private
cloud and protected as it traverses across the
network, across any distance, without sacrificing
the end-user experience.
Ciena’s WaveLogic Encryption solution
addresses all infrastructure needs and provides
added network security for service providers
and large enterprises, such as financial service
firms, healthcare and government organiza-
tions. The solution is Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS) certified and
meets the highest security standards recog-
nized globally in the industry.
“Safeguarding critical data has become
a major priority in today’s web-scale world.
Previous infrastructure solutions have been
cumbersome to manage and burdened by sepa-
rate boxes, impacting throughput and latency,”
said Francois Locoh-Donou, senior vice presi-
dent and COO for Ciena.
“Our new WaveLogic Encryption solution
is simple to deploy and provides a strong and
effective defense with an additional level of
protection to enable end-to-end security,” Locoh-
Donou added.
Powered by Ciena’s WaveLogic 3 Extreme
chipset, the solution provides software program-
mable modulation to enable 100G encryption
with QPSK modulation and 200G encryption with
16QAM modulation – an industry first.
WaveLogic Encryption is simple to deploy and
protocol agnostic, meaning it simultan-
eously encrypts any traffic type coming into
the network, including Ethernet, fiber channel,
OTN, IP, SONET, and SDH. It encrypts the entire
wavelength before the data leave the building or
data center, and transports it transparently with
virtually no added latency, making efficient use
of network resources and maintaining quality of
end-customer experience.
Additionally, Ciena’s software-based
MyCryptoTool features a dedicated management
user portal that provides full control to the end
enterprise user or security officer to manage all
security parameters. o

Optelian FLEX Architecture is used
by more than 200 service providers,
network operators and enterprises
seeking more modular, intuitive and cost-effec-
tive service delivery.
To that end, Optelian is taking advantage of
Jabil Circuit Inc.’s manufacturing and photonics
capabilities to reduce product costs, increase
operational efficiencies and drive continued
product innovation.
“With Jabil as our manufacturing partner,
Optelian can grow and scale in ways we
couldn’t before,” said Dave Weymouth, Opte-
lian’s co-founder and CEO. “We have the
agility to bid on different and larger business
while trusting Jabil to support our product
design, engineering, supply chain and manu-
facturing needs.”
Jabil said Optelian chose it for the role in
part because of the former’s commitment to the
optical industry, as evidenced by Jabil’s June
2015 acquisition of photonics company AOC
Technologies. Jabil continues to recruit key
photonics talent around the world, including for
a local operation alongside Optelian’s team in
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Optelian expects to use Jabil to support its
entire product lifecycle management. Addition-
ally, the company plans to take advantage of
Jabil’s intelligent global digital supply chain
with predictive analytics to reduce component
lead times and increase supply chain accuracy.
The company also anticipates the move to a
complete sourcing model with Jabil to accel-
erate business scaling.
Jabil is an electronic product company
providing electronics design, production and
product management services to global elec-
tronics and technology companies.
Optelian is a full-service provider of optical
networking solutions that move customer data
reliably at the lowest total cost of ownership.
The company offers a comprehensive portfolio
of products to provide a dynamic infrastruc-
ture that delivers multiprotocol services. The
Optelian FLEX Architecture comprises modular
elements that are focused on the optical and
circuit network layers.
The architecture enables the deployment
of networking services from access to core,
passive to packet, and 100M to 100G. Optelian
provides the transport infrastructure – the
foundation for packet networks.
With agile design capabilities and North Amer-
ican engineering, Optelian’s solutions fulfil any
network requirements. Optelian’s professional
services ensure networks are optimally planned
and deployed. These service offerings along with
24x7 customer technical support ensure that
