Red Hat has announced that Alcatel Lucent will deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), as the common platform for its Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) solution, CloudBand.
Red Hat will be part of Alcatel-Lucent’s CloudBand NFV platform, which offers a new way to design, deploy and manage networking services, supporting a flexible network infrastructure needed to move complex applications and services to the cloud.
As part of its deployment, Alcatel-Lucent specifically chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform for use in managing CloudBand Nodes, theturn-key, all-in-one compute, storage and network node system that interfaces with the CloudBand Management System, along with any other OpenStack-enabled nodes.
Radhesh Balakrishnan, General Manager, Virtualization and OpenStack, Red Hat, commented, “We are delighted that Red Hat’s technology has been recognized as best-in-class in the industry for the CloudBand NFV platform and excited that our strength in bringing open-source innovation from projects to enterprise-ready products will offer value to all the vendors hosting applications on CloudBand.”
This collaboration is a product of Alcatel-Lucent’s CloudBand Ecosystem Program and RedHat’s ISV Partner Programme in which Alcatel-Lucent holds premier status.
