One of the positive things said recently in the SDN space is that Nokia is very committed to Nuage, the SDN unit that Alcatel-Lucent acquired several years ago. Alcatel-Lucent never played Nuage well in my view, and it offers a number of highly relevant features, enough to make it my favorite among the SDN plays. Now, the combination of support from the parent and market opportunity may be playing in its favor. As is often the case, though, there are still questions. Just how much “commitment” is Nokia offering here?
