MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MADRID, Nov. 5,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuage Networks, the Alcatel-Lucent
(Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) venture focused on software-defined
networking (SDN) solutions, and Telefonica Business Solutions, a
leading provider of a wide range of integrated communication
solutions for the B2B market, today announced the successful
completion of evaluation and testing surrounding service chaining
of virtualized network functions (NFV) in a multi-vendor SDN
environment. This evaluation marks a big step for Telefonica
Business Solutions toward automating delivery of value-added
services and dramatically improving time to market in serving its
enterprise customers.
Provisioning network and application services – such as
firewalls and security gateways – can be among the most
time-intensive and error-prone tasks when deploying applications.
Service chaining makes it possible to automatically insert physical
or virtual network service appliances with the appropriate
configurations and policies as part of cloud-based offerings. Nuage
Networks automates the complex networking and service insertion
processes to enable Telefonica Business Solutions to adapt cloud
services on demand.
Seamless integration with Alcatel-Lucent service routers for
Datacenter connectivity
Nuage Networks and Telefonica
Business Solutions executed the proof of concept evaluation with
Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) working with
Alcatel-Lucent's 7750 Service Router (SR) and Virtualized Service
Router. The companies also demonstrated seamless integration with
Telefonica's existing third-party IP Edge Routing platforms in the
roles of Datacenter Gateway and Datacenter Provider Edge, including
integration between the automated value-added applications in the
Datacenter and WAN connectivity services. The hybrid solution will
provide Telefonica's enterprise customers the flexibility to make
use of automated value-added services together with
the optimal WAN service depending on needs for bandwidth, control,
cost and quality of service.
Nuage Networks VSP provides the automated overlay networking for
Telefonica's existing VMware virtualization environment as well as
a test environment based on OpenStack® and the open source
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor.
The solution includes a service chaining portal to allow fully
automated instantiation of virtual machines through OpenStack and
third-party APIs. The customer service portal also integrated
Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provisioning of
third-party datacenter gateways and provider edge and virtual
machines to enable and disable services based on input from
customers. This opens a new world in terms of customer experience
in the ICT space.
