Service-Aware Operating System advanced Synchronization - license - 1 license

Ciena's Service-Aware Operating System (SAOS) is employed in Packet Networking and Converged Packet Optical platforms to provide a common set of Ethernet features, improving operational efficiency from edge to core with consistent system and service attributes.

SAOS is at the heart of Ciena's drive for comprehensive packet OAM, helping you deliver Ethernet services by supporting all the leading OAM standards and expanding OAM capabilities. This broad service support enables detailed SLA conformance testing from the Network Operations Center (NOC) and dramatically lowers OPEX costs. In combination with the low-touch deployment methods, operators can achieve a very profitable business case, even in highly competitive markets.
