Cloud Computing: Nuage wins big deal in China

Grazed from BusinessCloud. Author: Steve Brooks.

China is vast, it is the second largest country by land mass in the world with 9.6 million square kilometres and a population of 1.3 billion. The challenges of providing cloud services to such a huge market are huge and China Telecom as one of the main providers in China has turned to Nuage networks to solve one of its key issues.

With the need to build a dynamic software defined network (SDN) to enable it to deliver new services, China Telecom has turned not to Huawei, as one might expect, but to Nuage networks. With a large and increasingly complex network the SDN technology will be important to meet the growing demand on its network and cloud services. Part of the contract also includes security services to mitigate against Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS), which because of the volume of computers on the network becomes almost a certainty as a result of events rather than malicious intent. In the event of targeted attacks against specific customers the technology is able to isolate parts of the network to mitigate that attack…

CTCC are facing challenges that they believe Nuage will enable them to overcome. Customers are demanding high availability and during peak periods this can create traffic bottlenecks. Nuage SDN technology can overcome these, using Nuage Networks Virtual Routing and Switching (VRS) module, traffic is balanced between servers and network nodes so that no single node reaches the point of becoming a serious bottleneck and this enables each server within the cloud computing environment to maximise the number of virtual machines per server…
