ALE, operating under the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise brand, is introducing a new cloud managed network infrastructure service designed and delivered with its business partners. The new Alcatel-Lucent Network on Demand service enables businesses to enjoy networking technology on a pay-per-use basis. This new consumption model offers companies an alternative to capital expenditure, enabling them to focus their investment in key business priorities and to link infrastructure operational spending with changes in their business requirements.
Businesses are challenged to afford frequent changes in networking technology needed to keep to up to date with compliance, security and changing customer expectations. They also find it difficult to acquire the skills to support and operate new technologies. To relieve these challenges, according to IDC, “By 2020, 80% of IT infrastructure will be on a pay-as-you-go basis.”*
Delivering managed services in a new way
Network on Demand is a unified and secure LAN/WiFi managed service delivered via Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise business partners. With its automated, “out-of-the box” cloud managed tools, business partners offering managed services simplify operations and improve the satisfaction of their customers. Business partners can uniquely bundle usage-based billed applications with networking infrastructure to differentiate and match their customers’ technology consumption models.
This offer removes the upfront capital cost of equipment for businesses and aligns the cost to the actual use. Network on Demand is ideal for businesses seeking the latest technology while only paying for what they need and when they need it.
Business are charged for daily use of network devices. This means schools with limited network activity on weekends and holidays would not be charged for parts of the network not being used; network connectivity service for hotel rooms can be charged based on occupancy; areas of stadium facilities which are typically occupied part of the week would only be charged during usage periods.
The Network on Demand offer is based on technologies in the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise network portfolio:
· Intelligent fabric,
· Unified access, and
· Network analytics
Stephane Robineau, EVP and General Manager, Networking Business division, ALE said, “Looking at the increased acceptance of IT on demand via cloud application services, we wanted to be the first to offer our customers the benefits of a new set of network services. Designed with our partners, Network on Demand changes the game by making it possible to offer Opex consumption based, unified, on demand LAN and Wi-Fi managed services.”
