Alcatel-Lucent has set up Nuage Networks, a business venture addressing networking bottlenecks within and between data centres.
The internal start-up combines staff with networking and IT skills include web-scale services. “You can’t solve new problems with old thinking,” says Houman Modarres, senior director product marketing at Nuage Networks. Another benefit of the adopted business model is that Nuage benefits from Alcatel-Lucent’s software intellectual property.
