LAS VEGAS, June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HP DISCOVER --
Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) has joined forces
with long-standing partner HP to deliver technology solutions to
enterprises providing data center networking, data
replication and new storage architectures connected with IP and
optical backbones.
The solutions will allow enterprises to provide more
cost-effective, reliable services more rapidly with a focus on
business continuity, disaster recovery, secure data transport, data
center interconnect and remote copy applications - areas that will
enable enterprises to address growing data demands using a
cloud architectures, with greater security and flexibility.
These new data center solutions are based on Alcatel-Lucent's
leading IP edge platform, the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router
and the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) family of
optical products.
The validated Alcatel-Lucent and HP solutions allow secure and
synchronous data replication between data centers over long
distances and at rates not previously achievable via standard
storage fabric switching. The solutions have been pre-tested,
integrated and are available as part of the HP Complete Program in
the Americas and EMEA.
As enterprises and service providers deploy their cloud
offerings between data centers and across hybrid environments, they
face challenges in scalability, flexibility and management of the
data center gateway. HP Networking is expanding its portfolio of
wide area network routers for large organizations with the adoption
of the flagship Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router. Alcatel-Lucent
has also worked closely with HP to tightly integrate its
industry-leading 1830 PSS optical platform. When combined with the
HP 3PAR Remote Copy software it delivers synchronous replication
over fiber up to 130 kilometers with encryption to reduce business
risk.
These additional offerings provide greater scale for large
organizations, while enabling HP to deliver high quality,
end-to-end network solutions. When combined with HPs Distributed
Cloud Networking solution it additionally enables automatic
creation of data center network services and policies.
This solution further expands the HP and Alcatel-Lucent
collaboration in Data Center solutions, after the recent launch of
HP Distributed Cloud Networking (DCN) platform. The HP networking
virtualization solution tailored at service providers and extra
large enterprises. DCN leverages the Virtualized Services
Platform (VSP) from Alcatel-Lucent's Nuage Networks SDN
venture. DCN lays the foundation for an open and dynamically
controlled data center network by enabling customers to
automatically deploy secure cloud-based SDN across a distributed
and disparate data center configurations, taking just minutes to
implement.
The initiative marks a further milestone in Alcatel-Lucent's
global alliance with HP. Together, the two companies are working to
support the world's largest organizations and service providers in
building network-enabled, distributed cloud infrastructures for the
creation of new business opportunities and greater efficiencies,
while improving customer service.
