Nuage Networks, the Alcatel-Lucent start-up venture focused on SDN (software-defined networking) solutions, Wednesday announced that the Cloud Computing Branch of China Telecom (CTCC), one of the largest cloud computing service providers in China has selected its SDN technology to help deliver secure, scalable, and self-serve public cloud services in China's fast-growing cloud computing market.
According to Nuage Networks, CTCC has chosen its Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) to provide SDN capability that operates seamlessly in CTCC’s complex and geographically dispersed network infrastructure. Nuage Networks said that it will also address CTCC’s network security requirements, helping guard against the customer impact of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by providing full network isolation in order to prevent attacks against a single customer from impacting others.
Nuage Networks added that with its VSP and the 7850 Virtualized Services Gateway platforms, CTCC can leverage virtual and non-virtualized network assets to establish customer policies throughout shared data center facilities supporting their cloud services. In addition, to overcome traffic bottlenecks, Nuage Networks’ Virtual Routing and Switching (VRS) module will substantially increase the efficiency of each network port to enable the support of more virtual machines per server.
Guang Xiaoming, the Chief Technology Officer of CTTC
We are pleased that Nuage Networks has helped us to achieve scalability in our cloud infrastructure and improve the availability of the services. 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.
Sunil Khandekar, CEO of Nuage Networks
We are excited to work with CTCC in support of their public cloud implementation. CTCC’s customers deserve instant access to public cloud services that are supported by a network that is capable of responding to their changing needs, and the full range of applications that they require and depend on to power their businesses.
