The ADVAntage Qualification Program (AQP) - for Storage Networking

Storage is a critical application that relies on and drives the demand for optical networking solutions. As the leading vendor of WDM systems sold to enterprise and service providers for storage applications, ADVA Optical Networking has established the Optical ADVAntage Program to confirm product interoperability and qualification for mission critical applications of business continuance, disaster recovery, data center consolidation, and remote processing.
