Data Center Connect

In this post we are going to see the Alcatel Lucent solution to connect diferent data centers because  we saw that companies have to replicate their data center to offer always their services if one of them go down  .

The Alcatel-Lucent Data Center Connect solution interconnects distributed data centers across the entire network and infrastructure. Benefits

  • Increase cost and operational efficiency: maximizes the value of service networks by providing a platform for new services while increasing business agility, resiliency and efficiency across the network and data center infrastructure. Also enables data center administrators to deploy multiple customers or departments on the same machine, significantly increasing data center efficiency and productivity
  • Increase mobility: makes it easier to seamlessly move groups of virtual machines between data centers.
  • Improve scalability: Allows service providers to easily configure, move, scale up or scale down resources across the data center fabric.
  • Increase business resiliency: Enables users to access applications even during site failures.

The Alcatel-Lucent Data Center Connect solution comprises a set of use cases that provide different architectural scenarios for interconnecting data centers that are based on the Alcatel-Lucent Service Router (SR) and Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) portfolios as well as the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM). Service Router is a suite of multiservice edge routers designed from inception to deliver high-performance, high availability routing with service-aware operations, administration, management, and provisioning. Untill now we wrote about things that we can implement in a data center,  but in this post we saw how important is having a good network to connect diferent data centers because theres a lot of imformation and it is necessary do it faster as possible and secure. In the following posts we will talk about solutions of other companies.
