The Network Makes the Cloud

The cloud has only begun to change the way people live and do business. By adding the power of the network, service providers can unleash the full potential of the cloud to propel innovation, secure mission-critical assets, and transform business models.

What if there were a better class of cloud?

One that was agile and reliable enough to address the needs of people and businesses looking for cloud services, while transforming how service providers do business? A class of cloud that service providers are uniquely positioned to offer?

The Alcatel-Lucent CloudBand portfolio enables service providers to configure data centers, control network resources, and quickly launch new services and applications. We are also partnering with leading companies such as HP to combine the strengths of both IT and service provider portfolios. By bringing the network to the cloud, service providers can create that better class of cloud—the carrier cloud.

The Carrier Cloud Is…

Agile

People are demanding more captivating services from their connected experience. The carrier cloud gives service providers the agility to quickly deliver flexible and innovative services at lower costs that foster brand loyalty.

Reliable

Enterprises are currently inhibited from fully embracing cloud services due to concerns about performance, availability, scalability, and security of their mission-critical data and applications. By uniting the network and cloud, the carrier cloud meets that need for reliability, making service providers the go-to choice for enterprises headed for the cloud.

Transformative

The carrier cloud is not merely a business opportunity, but an opportunity to transform how the service provider does business. In addition to delivering the benefits of the networked cloud, service providers can take advantage of this cloud and optimize the network, saving on CAPEX and OPEX.
