Alcatel-Lucent's software-defined networking (SDN) subsidiary, Nuage Networks, Monday announced that world's largest Operator, China Mobile has deployed Nuage SDN technology in its Development and Operations (DevOps) private cloud architecture. China Mobile’s private cloud architecture includes Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) to deliver the functionality and scalability required for its internal subsidiaries and also for the development of new cloud-based services.
According to Nuage Networks, the VSP enables each of China Mobile's subsidiary to be allocated its own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) comprising resources located in one or multiple datacenters. Each VPC is isolated and secure – internally and externally – at the virtual machine (VM) level using Nuage Networks VSP’s network microsegmentation capabilities, which protect against “east-west” malware penetration attempts within each datacenter, within each VPC and within the federated cloud.
In addition, Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Assurance Platform (VSAP) provides full visibility between the virtual and physical environments for each VPC and the federated cloud.

China Mobile is taking a visionary approach in designing and building its new DevOps private cloud architecture. By combining open source software with Nuage Networks VSP, China Mobile is replacing and surpassing its previous legacy architecture in terms of power, sophistication and choice. It will change the way China Mobile operates internally and, ultimately, the cloud services they can provide to customers.
