Alcatel-Lucent Cloud Webinar #9: Optimizing Network Operations With Intel™ And CloudBand

With NFV, service providers can shorten the time needed to roll out new services and functionality by bringing agile and flexible cloud computing and IT virtualization technologies to the networking domain. Moreover, virtualized functions run efficiently on industry-standard Intel® processor-based servers, thus spare parts inventory can be reduced significantly since network elements can all use the same type of platform.

Still, these technologies alone are not enough because service provider applications are more demanding with respect to latency and availability than most IT applications. Alcatel-Lucent CloudBand NFV platform orchestrates NFV workloads on distributed Cloud Nodes connected by carrier’s network and providing a sky view of all managed clouds. It also optimizes network operations by automating Cloud Nodes deployments, scaling, upgrades and other application lifecycle phases including network configuration.

Learn how Intel and Alcatel-Lucent are working together to help Service Providers advance NFV.
