Nuage, the Alcatel-Lucent SDN business, plans to introduce a software-based solution designed to allow service providers to connect business customers to data centers and cloud services as easily as activating a mobile phone.
The new Virtualized Network Services extends Nuage’s data center SDN to automate connections for branch offices. VNS is available as software, or preloaded on x86 hardware. It’s in trials now, and will be available in the first quarter of 2015.
