DATA CENTER INTERCONNECT SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE ENTERPRISES

The rapid gains in data center efficiency, the emergence of mega data centers and the impact of cloud computing, as well as the virtualization of data center architecture and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) mean that large enterprises need to consider new approaches to meet current and future data center interconnect (DCI) needs. Alcatel-Lucent provides a wide choice of DCI solutions that help large enterprises de-risk the provisioning of data center interconnect. These include high performance, low latency, secure optical WDM solutions for synchronous applications to IP/MPLS solutions that provide high performance, multi-site DCI with advanced QoS and traffic engineering for asynchronous applications. Alcatel-Lucent DCI solutions are used by many large enterprises in the financial, healthcare, consumer and industrial segments for business and mission-critical applications. Alcatel-Lucent is also at the forefront of data center network virtualization with SDN solutions that deliver unrestricted data center networking while enabling SDN extension across the WAN — greatly simplifying operations, reducing costs and increasing agility.

Impact of 5G on 4G Services for Operators and NEMs

whitePaper | March 1, 2020

5G is gathering momentum at a pace not experienced with legacy technologies such as 3G and 4G. In fact, a growing number of operators that have existing LTE networks have now launched 5G, according to the GSA. We’ve already seen a great deal of investment in 5G, and we’ll see a growing number of operators targeting the enterprise market to support applications in agriculture, manufacturing, automotive and healthcare. It is anticipated that an acceleration of 5G roll-out will take place throughout 2020, particularly with non-standalone (NSA) designed to work with existing 4G networks.
