Alcatel-Lucent today said China Telecom’s Cloud Computing Branch — CTCC — has tapped SDN technology from Nuage Networks to deliver self-serve public cloud services in China.
CTCC, looking at scalability and elasticity to serve public cloud customers, has invested in Nuage Networks’ Virtualized Services Platform (VSP). Nuage Networks will support China Telecom to provide SDN capability that operates seamlessly in CTCC’s geographically dispersed network infrastructure.
As part of the deal, Nuage Networks will address CTCC’s network security needs to cut the impact of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by providing full network isolation to prevent attacks against a single customer impacting others.
CTCC has deployed Nuage Networks’ VSP and the 7850 Virtualized Services Gateway platforms to leverage virtual and non-virtualized network assets to establish customer policies throughout shared datacenter facilities supporting their cloud services.
Nuage Networks’ Virtual Routing and Switching (VRS) module will increase the efficiency of each network port to enable the support of more virtual machines per server.
We can now offer our customers self-serve public cloud services in a more secure and dynamic way, giving them services that are tailored to meet their unique business requirements,” said Guang Xiaoming, chief technology officer of CTTC.
