Involving the principals of Arroyo Optics - itself having been (acquired by Mellanox in 2006) - Telescent's Software-defined Networking (SDN) system includes a robotic Network Topology Manager that automates cloud computing centers and extends todayâs SDN technology to the physical network. Though not SBIR involved in some time, the firm's software and hardware system s usefully understood as enables on-demand physical layer provisioning, grooming and monitoring of high bandwidth fiber optic interconnections. Data center network topology and workflows are then dynamically configurable, so the physical layer, link layer and higher level software-driven network operations can be integrated and optimized. Gen4 Network Topology Manager ("G4 NTM") provides a complete solution to automate the management of the physical network topology for rapid reconfiguration, reprovisioning and retasking of networks driven by changing workflows and the need to improve utilization. Founded in 2008, Telescentâs first product the G4 NTM product was released in March of 2015 and is already deployed at large Tier 1 industry leading customers looking to scale their networks using Physical S
