CALIENT Technologies provides optical circuit switching technology that improves data center operational efficiency. Their S-Series optical circuit switch allows compute resources like servers and storage to be physically shared between pods in a data center in response to application demands, improving utilization from less than 40% to over 50%. This level of increased utilization can save tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in capital expenditures for a large mega-scale data center. CALIENT's technology also enables benefits like automating service provisioning to accelerate new revenue, reducing operational expenses by minimizing on-site staff, and improving quality of service.

Reduced CAPEX & Improved Energy Efficiency • Compute resources can be reallocated and shared at the optical layer, supporting much improved % utilization of server and storage assets. These represent 85% of the DC electronics cost and almost 70% of the energy consumption. Enabling “Lights Out” Data Centers
