Correct answer
Explanation
Sycamore Networks is named after the sycamore tree, which can live for over 500 years. The company chose this name to symbolize longevity, endurance, and permanence - desirable qualities for telecommunications infrastructure. Juniper is also a tree but lives ~200-400 years, and Banyan lives hundreds of years but Sycamore specifically emphasizes the 500+ year lifespan in their branding.
