Ciena Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) Plus (v. 8.x) - license - 1 license

End-customers want more from service providers - more bandwidth, more services, more quickly. However, service providers are encumbered with legacy, manually intensive Network Management Systems (NMS) that are built on old technology and do not support APIs for automation. With Ciena's Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller and Advanced Apps, providers gain a real-time view of the performance of their multi-layer infrastructure to accelerate and automate the full lifecycle of network operations, gaining operational efficiency, improving customer quality of experience, and supercharging the journey to the Adaptive Network.

MCP, Ciena's domain controller, unifies network management, online planning, and service assurance in a single interface across multiple technology layers, through Software-Defined Networking (SDN) control for integrated lifecycle operations. With MCP's centralized, accurate view of the state of their multi-vendor optical, Ethernet, and IP infrastructure, service providers can fulfill and assure customer services across multi-layer infrastructure, and optimize network utilization, most efficiently. Whether through the intuitive user interface, or programmatic APIs, operations teams can quickly execute all the essential tasks that keep the network running smoothly, to provide high service quality. Furthermore, by leveraging MCP's integrated, online capacity planning, driven by real-time network telemetry, operators can ensure the network can satisfy customers' bandwidth and quality demands in the future.
