Wave2Wave, the global leader in fiber connectivity automation, today announced it has launched an innovative Connectivity as a Service (CaaS) offering, which enables data center and network operators to automate physical layer connectivity without the need for any upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX).

Key Points: 
  • Wave2Wave, the global leader in fiber connectivity automation, today announced it has launched an innovative Connectivity as a Service (CaaS) offering, which enables data center and network operators to automate physical layer connectivity without the need for any upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX).
  • Wave2Waves new CaaS solution extends software defined networking (SDN) capabilities to the physical layer, making it possible for operators to manage the entire network stack from a single interface.
  • Based on a monthly pay-as-you-grow model where patching physical cables can take as little as 20 seconds CaaS is scoped for data center and telco pre-production labs, where physically hauling cables is a bottleneck for service rollout.
  • This service-oriented approach represents a major change in the way telcos and data center operators fund, build and manage their networks.
