Alcatel-Lucent Managed Business Networking Solution 8
Leveraging IP/MPLS, premium IP-
VPNs provide multi-site Layer 3 IP
networking with the performance
and resiliency necessary to run
today’s latency-sensitive applications,
such as VoIP and IP video, while
providing a smooth upgrade path for
the future. These VPNs are suitable
for any type of enterprise, but are a
particularly good choice for small
and medium enterprises that want
you to manage all aspects of routing,
which may include visibility and
control of their routing domain. You
can provide any-to-any connectivity,
which reduces the cost of connecting
multiple sites, and customize service
offerings by bundling data, voice,
video and other options.

The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR product has been independently tested by ISO-
CORE to have state-of-the-art service scaling capabilities. As key components
of the Alcatel-Lucent MBN solution, the Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS and 7750
SR have also been validated independently by ISOCORE for mass deployment
of converged business VPN and residential triple-play services. The indepen-
dent performance verification tested more than 43,500 enterprise class Layer 2
and Layer 3 business VPN services, as well as 120,000 active subscriber hosts, to
represent a dense metropolitan region.
The test also included an in-depth evaluation of Alcatel-Lucent’s enhanced
subscriber management, H-QoS, security, subscriber host authentication, high
availability and operation, administration and maintenance (OAM), as well as
a thorough analysis of architecture flexibility — to support deployments in any
mode of operation
With Carrier Ethernet VPNs using virtual private LAN service (VPLS), you can
expand your managed business VPN services and address a wider market — by
providing the same multi-point service benefits offered by IP-VPNs, but at Layer 2.
These “any-to-any” Carrier Ethernet VPNs, also known as E-LAN services,
provide multi-point connectivity between enterprise sites. They combine the
OPEX benefits, simplicity, transparency and scalable bandwidth of Ethernet
with the predictable QoS, reliability and scalability of MPLS. In addition, these
VPNs allow enterprises to maintain full control of their routing domain, which
is important for many large enterprises. They also provide transparent support
for the multiple network protocols still found in many enterprise networks.
By supporting both Layer 3 premium IP-VPNs and Layer 2 Carrier Ethernet
VPNs, the Alcatel-Lucent MBN solution allows you to address a wider market
and meet the needs of any enterprise, ranging from small to large. With
the solution’s advanced features, you can differentiate your offerings from
commoditized, low-margin bandwidth-only services.
“The overall results indicate that the tested solution
is one of the most comprehensive service delivery
solutions available in the industry.”
