Sify Technologies has deployed Ciena’s optical technology to connect its seven Metro Area Networks across India.
Starting with an express path between Mumbai and New Delhi, Sify has upgraded its countrywide National Long Distance network to support services up to 600G.
This upgrade will help interconnect its key AI-ready data centre hubs in Mumbai, Chennai and Noida and the surrounding metro areas with a highly scalable network.
“India is embracing digitisation with bandwidth demand skyrocketing from global cloud providers and digital enterprises,” said Harsha Ram, head of network business at Sify.
Using Ciena’s optical technology, Sify has doubled its network capacity to 600G. This will be offered via Ciena’s line system, which can support both C and L band transponders.
This will enable Sify customers to have access to ultra-low latency connectivity and support to generative AI, cloud services and applications.
“Ciena has been working closely with Sify to create an adaptive network that can deliver transformative business connectivity to enterprises and cloud providers across India,” said Amit Malik, VP of Ciena India.
