Dimension Data Supports Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Vision 2020 Strategic Plan

Implementation of SD-WAN expected to reduce WAN expenses by up to 40% over next three years

Dimension Data, a USD 8 billion global technology integrator, managed services provider, and member of the NTT Group, was chosen by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) to deliver a next-generation agile, scalable and high performing digital infrastructure project for its worldwide operations. 

Implementation will enable the global enterprise networking, communications and services provider to securely move its existing network into a faster and easily manageable infrastructure by leveraging less expensive Internet transport, dynamically reallocating network resources and using software-defined policies to manage network traffic.

The resulting 300% bandwidth availability increase will enable ALE to adopt a seamless and multi-tenant Cloud environment that supports its evolving business. It will also facilitate the company’s Vision 2020 Strategic Plan to harness the power of the Cloud to help ALE customers compete in a digital world.

Dimension Data was selected for its vast industry experience and expertise spanning over 30 years in the field of designing and building enterprise-class networks. In addition to implementing the solution, Dimension Data will provide managed software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) services, including the hardware, licenses, technical team of professionals and managed services. The global control system will be centrally deployed on the Dimension Data Cloud platform, which leverages a Global Delivery Centre to procure, deploy and manage the SD-WAN-based WAN infrastructure.
