Selling network or hosting services and applications requires the ultimate in flexibility – in terms of speeds, protocols, network architectures and infrastructure.  Business continuity and disaster recovery are exceptional examples that also include performance testing, optical switching and documentation at the click of a mouse.  All of this needs to be served with the security and reliability to never fail.
  
The OnPATH Universal Connectivity System (UCS™) delivers a proven solution to create a Virtualized Infrastructure Layer (VIL) of the network infrastructure.  By providing the industry’s most scalable and secure technology, application services can be provisioned more quickly and excess equipment can be reduced – saving valuable space, power and, most importantly, capital. Here are just a few application examples:

• Remote data center monitoring
• Disaster recovery
• Cloud computing
• Carrier transport
• WDM multiplexing and distance extension

Today our family of UCS™ hardware and UCMS™ software are providing valuable benefits for application services.

	SAVE TIME Execute moves, adds and changes instantly and reliably Reduce downtime by quickly isolating and resolving path or circuit problems with system and circuit alarms Automate record keeping and preparation time with the fully integrated remote activity scheduling and logging
	INCREASE UTILIZATION Improve the access and utilization of expensive data center servers, storage and switching systems with up to 100,000 ports of ultra-reliable connectivity Expand the accessibility and performance to quickly reconfigure test generators and monitoring tools from any location Reduce personnel time and prevent errors during reconfiguration and troubleshooting
	REDUCE COSTS Lower capital costs with higher equipment utilization and network performance Lower operational costs through reduced equipment, optimized architectures, and higher reliability Return on project investments ranging from 3 to 12 months
