Simplify IT operations with an Autonomous Network
We deliver mission-critical AI-powered and automated networks, ensuring a high-quality user experience.
IT infrastructure has evolved over the last 20 years to where it is now fully automated. However, networks need to catch up. It takes minutes to deploy a new application, yet it can take days or weeks to manually configure the enterprise network, element-by-element.
With an Autonomous Network, IT leaders can now shift their focus to business, rather than building and running their infrastructure. Network automation simplifies the deployment of the network by automatically and securely connecting people, processes, applications, and objects.
The Solution
An Autonomous Network simplifies operations
The ALE Autonomous Network architecture provides automated service provisioning between users, devices, and applications and ensures a robust network infrastructure by automating moves, adds, and changes, reducing the time and effort it takes to maintain and operate a network.
It also ensures a seamless experience between wired and wireless networks, providing a high-performance network with ultrafast convergence, secure access control and hardened switch OS. Our Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar WLAN portfolio is coupled with our comprehensive Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN portfolio that supports deployment ranging from access, to core, and data centres.
A single network management system (NMS) provides an additional level of integration between wired and wireless networks. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista NMS provides unified service management and network-wide visibility, improving IT efficiency and business agility.
Network automation from the edge to the core
Unified edge. Users, devices, and IoT can connect to the Local Area Network (LAN) and/or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with a consistent connection experience and performance capabilities. Switching from fixed LAN to wireless LAN with the same device is simple and secure.
Unified fabric. LAN, WLAN, core/data centre, and soon, a branch portfolio with cloud management and embedded security.
Network services automation. This is the key layer in the autonomous network that enables network automation through programmability, provisioning, analytics, the Rainbow by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise workflow engine, as well as third-party integration.
Customer Benefits
