HP and Alcatel-Lucent have unveiled a jointly developed
solution to assist organizations to move, store and access information by
integrating data center infrastructure technology and communications networks.
The new HP and Alcatel-Lucent Data Center Network Connect (DCNC) offers enterprises the same levels
of reliability, speed and capacity that are available on telecom service
provider networks at lower cost.
This offering builds upon HP and Alcatel-Lucent’s
commitment to equip enterprises and service providers with the specific tools
they need to deliver converged systems of IT and telecom infrastructures for
flexibility.
HP is also helping service providers deliver public cloud
offerings to customers by announcing HP CloudSystem integration with
Alcatel-Lucent.
Clients are creating vast amounts of information that
needs to be resourced, distributed and shared without compromising the quality
of data or the speed at which it’s delivered,” said Arthur Filip, vice
president and general manager, Technology Consulting, HP.
The HP and Alcatel-Lucent solution brings together key
data center services and networking offerings from the portfolios of both
companies. The DCNC supports immediate data center demands such as
consolidation, business continuity and security, while laying the foundation for
service-oriented, on-demand computing technologies.
Alcatel-Lucent and HP’s solution is based on technology
engineered to satisfy telecommunications service providers that expect their
networks to perform with exceptional reliability and meet their needs far into
the future,” said Philippe Keryer, president, Networks Group, Alcatel-Lucent.
DCNC combines HP’s technologies and services for data
centers with Alcatel-Lucent’s optical transport solutions for service providers
and its service routing and switching portfolio, which are key elements of the
Alcatel-Lucent High Leverage Network (HLN) architecture.
DCNC will leverage the strength of Alcatel-Lucent’s
CloudBand solution which accesses the power of the distributed network
infrastructure to offer enterprises and governments access to the cloud with
the quality of service their activities require.
