Alcatel-Lucent has introduced new capabilities for enterprises to make it easy for their employees to use their personal devices to access both personal and professional content and services while at work, without compromising the integrity of their corporate networks.
The new enhancements enable the company’s converged network application to identify what kinds of applications are being used by employees at different times and give the critical services priority to ensure an enhanced user experience.
Alcatel-Lucent Converged Network Solution is expanding with the introduction of the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450, increasing the access capacity of enterprise networks and the introduction of new capabilities for enterprise networks to effectively manage network resources.
The converged network application is based on the OmniSwitch family and related software. Attributes of the Alcatel-Lucent Converged Network Solution include simplified operations, high bandwidth wire-rate core switches and multimedia fluency, where the network discovers which application is in use and further fine tunes QoS treatment as well as provide a dashboard of actual QoS delivered.
The new developments bring a new approach to enterprise networking that Alcatel-Lucent refers to as Application Fluency, which provides a network the ability to identify what devices and applications are being used – and by whom – and recognise if it is a critical business application.
