NTT Communications has selected Alcatel-Lucent's 7750 Service Router for its VPN enterprise services in Japan and worldwide.
Previously such services were supported by independent networks, but the move to a single, converged IP infrastructure provided by Alcatel-Lucent will simplify and streamline network management, cut the cost of network operations and help lower NTT Com's operational expenditure through a measurable decrease in energy consumption.
"In 2010 we deployed Alcatel-Lucent's service routers in the network that serves our international business customers, so the transformation of our network in Japan is a natural progression in this successful collaboration. Alcatel-Lucent's dedication to continuously enhancing their platforms with the very latest capabilities gives us the confidence that this new network will be able to address the fast-evolving expectations of our customers far into the future," Hiroshi Sono, Director of Technology, Network Services division of NTT Com.
