Our first week as Viavi Solutions has been underway!  By now, you’ve probably noticed part of the buzz is we’re more flexible and better positioned to serve our customers.  And, to take aim at new opportunities in the market as we are better aligned with the industry’s most attractive growth opportunities like cloud networking, data-center expansion and software-defined networks (SDN).

As Tom Waechter remarked: “This is an important milestone as we mark the successful completion of the spinoff. Viavi is poised to capture the opportunities created by the industry’s transition to new network architectures and the need for increased network and application visibility.”
