Architecture, Operations, and New Commercial Models for the Hyperscaler Era

Hyperscaler bandwidth demand is surging, and much of the worldwide capacity is being built and operated by network service providers on their behalf. These Managed Optical Fiber Networks (MOFNs) offer diversity, resilience, and rapid scale, especially for situations in which building or operating private infrastructure is constrained by logistics or regulation.

Join experts from Colt, Tata Communications, Zayo, and Ciena to learn how these dedicated optical networks are meeting the challenge of hyperscaler-scale demand.

Why Attend

• The Value Proposition of MOFNs – Examine the scalability, security, resilience, and total-cost-of-ownership case for managed fiber versus procuring individual wavelengths.
• Deploying at Hyperscaler Speed – Hear how operators are meeting compressed time-to-deployment requirements while navigating multi-vendor DWDM issues, fiber availability, and diverse network architectures.
• Beyond Point-to-Point – Understand the move toward more sophisticated protection architectures, diverse multi-route infrastructure, and the topologies and service options that define a modern MOFN.
• The New Optical Requirements – Learn about C+L-band line system deployment in the metro, the choice between transponders and high-performance coherent pluggables, high-capacity encryption, and federated management across multiple networks.
• AI-Driven Demand – See the growth in spending from hyperscale operators as AI-driven traffic reshapes capacity requirements and the hardware vendor landscape.
