Let us find the solution that uniquely fits you. 

While your enterprise data center may be smaller than others, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave recognizes that all data centers have similar needs. For example, you require a robust and flexible infrastructure that adapts and grows with minimum downtime and an emphasis on usability.

To manage the complexity of day-to-day operations, you need a supplier focused on more than providing products – you need a supplier committed to problem solving in a timeframe that meets your own.

SEL understands your focus on the purpose of your organization and has partnered with small and medium network owners to develop Network Solutions: next-generation thinking solutions and products that focus on usability, security, scalability, and the continuity of your infrastructure.

One Solution: A Purpose-Built Use Case

A campus data center manager has been assigned the responsibility of setting up a network that is adaptable, secure, and capable of meeting future needs without relying heavily on expensive dark fiber in areas that might not require high bandwidth later on. It's essential to have separate physical network divisions so that any new infrastructure added in the future will cause minimal interruption to the campus and no disruption to the network.
