MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Nuage Networks, the Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and
NYSE: ALU) venture focused on software-defined networking (SDN)
solutions, today announced that OVH has selected the Nuage Networks
Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) for deployment within and
across its datacenters in Europe
and in Canada in order to enable
dedicated cloud services for their customers.
The OVH Group is well established in worldwide markets with
expertise and infrastructure extending over 15 subsidiaries and 17
datacenters. The company is executing on an ambitious business
model that invests heavily in innovation – such as Nuage Networks
VSP - while optimizing operating costs to deliver compelling and
competitively priced services.
OVH chose to implement the Nuage Networks VSP to deliver an
"OpenStack as a Service" offering, through which its customers can
access dedicated Cloud Computing infrastructure by using OpenStack
and Nuage Networks to define optimal resources and benefit from a
better performing, more programmable, and operationally efficient
infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) environment.
"We are pleased to implement Nuage Networks with OpenStack in
our cloud infrastructure. The Nuage Networks SDN technology allows
us to offer our customers cloud services in a more dynamic way,
giving them the capability to reduce their time-to-market with a
programmable and automated networking environment," said Octave
Klaba, CEO and founder of OVH.
OVH customers require and deserve a network whose capabilities
align with the changing needs of their diverse applications. The
innovative Nuage Networks SDN solution provides network
virtualization and automation that transforms OVH's cloud
datacenters into flexible environments that instantaneously
establish the network services required for a given application in
accordance with established enterprise policies.
"We are excited to work with OVH in support of their dedicated
cloud initiative, which will allow them to deliver attractive and
innovative cloud services to their European and international
customers, while making their infrastructure more agile,
responsive, and cost effective," added Sunil Khandekar, CEO Nuage Networks.
Working with Nuage Networks enables OVH to implement dedicated
cloud services that provide their customers control over how their
cloud network extends and scales across their servers and virtual
machines (VMs). Additional benefits include:
- Service provisioning speed and agility: Establishing
network connectivity becomes as easy and instantaneous as creating
a virtual machine (VM). Unlike traditional networks that are highly
configuration-driven and manual, Nuage Networks allows an OVH
customer's network connectivity to follow seamlessly and
immediately according to their pre-defined policies.
- Control: The Nuage Networks SDN solution provides a
common policy framework through which OVH can give their customers
full control and visibility of its infrastructure, while ensuring
that their performance guidelines are met.
- Network flexibility and holistic management: Nuage
Networks allows OVH to eliminate traditional datacenter networking
restrictions and seamlessly evolve to new network configurations
that better support their customer needs and deployment
scenarios.
- Lowered expenditures: Through a dramatically more
operationally efficient approach, by making optimal use of
datacenter assets, and by reducing dependencies on proprietary
hardware and dedicated appliances, OVH also expects to realize
significant economic benefits.
