e nterprises today are faced with significant challenges in delivery of real-time applications such as video that increasingly demand more and higher quality bandwidth To complicate matters virtualization changes everything For the first
time even with a new generation of switching it is no longer possible to add enough raw bandwidth to solve this problem
What is needed is a simplified resilient and secure network that provides business agility and streamlines IT operations The answer is a converged network infrastructure that is application fluent An application fluent network dynamically adjusts for voice data and video applications while streamlining the number of required platforms and delivering simplified management This is convergence without complexity
The result is increased simplicity and reduced cost with the flexibility and performance needed to support critical business needs like collaboration video conferencing mobile workers and more
In this way an application fluent network can address the six major challenges businesses face with their current network infrastructures agility quality of service cost staffing security and return on investment (ROI)
Discover ApplicationFluent Networks
Challenge 1 Enable Business Agility
Challenge 2 Meet Stringent Quality of Service (QoS) Levels
Challenge 3 Contain Spiraling Costs
Challenge 4 Attract and Retain Quality IT Personnel
Challenge 5 Enhance Security
Challenge 6 Maximize Return on Investment (ROI)

Enable Business Agility
In todayrsquos always-on business environment enterprises canrsquot afford to stand still They must move at the speed of business to capitalize on opportunities and swiftly respond to competition deploying assets in minutes not months while still providing a high quality
experience for users employing real-time applications
An application fluent network can help businesses accomplish this and more by providing streamlined operations with bullAutomationforprovisioningofnetworkelementsandendpoints bullCarrier-classtroubleshootingtoolsformonitoringactualapplicationperformance bullAutomatedcontrol bullAutomaticallyadaptingtotherequirementsofusersdevicesandapplications
An application fluent network delivers improved application performance thus enhancing the overall user experience This increases employee productivity and can have a positive impact on an enterprisersquos ability to achieve its financial and strategic business goals
By simplifying and automating the network Alcatel-Lucent solutions deliver the flexibility and agility businesses need to rapidly adapt to changing business requirements With an application fluent network from Alcatel-Lucent your organization can easily support new business needs whether thatrsquos adding new branch offices enhancing mobile connectivity introducing new collaboration tools and more Yoursquoll have the scalability you need to support business growth Alcatel-Lucentrsquos comprehensive OmniAccesstrade portfolio includes wireless routing platforms and access points that can scale from a small to a large number of seats
When combined with Alcatel-Lucents market-leading OmniSwitch family of 10GigE switches that can scale networks from 10 to tens of thousands of Ethernet ports varying in speed from 10 Megabit to 10 Gigabit and its newest family member businesses get the agility they need with no loss of application quality

Businesses canrsquot afford to have employee productivity suffer because they cannot use their mission-critical applications as a result of network downtime or poor application delivery performance
Because business success is increasingly dependent on IT performance the potential impact to the business should the network fail to meet adequate service levels is significant
It is no longer about raw bandwidth mdash resiliency and latency are critical
Alcatel-Lucent solutions ensure that real-time applications perform as you need them to Alcatel-Lucent switches provide carrier-class virtual queuing with 16K virtual queues used to provide fine grained application delivery control ensuring the network can meet QoS requirements Rapid recovery capabilities mean the network can automatically reconfigure itself so that a switch or link failure is invisible to applications and their users Automated control for dynamic tuning of network performance allow for recognition of the user the application and context to ensure mission-critical functions are given priority

Networking costs are increasing at rates that are unsustainable Yet although businesses need to contain these costs they canrsquot sacrifice service quality while doing so One of the key benefits of
an application fluent network is that businesses leverage a single converged network with a simplified architecture that reduces the number of layers which are costly and complex and difficult to administer
Also with convergence comes the ability for businesses to deploy eco-friendly low-power consuming products that can significantly reduce energy costs And by putting a converged infrastructure in place businesses require less equipment and as a result maintaining the network is easier simpler and less costly This means businesses can contain both operational expenses (OPEX) and capital expenses (CAPEX)
Alcatel-Lucent solutions in particular can help you achieve these benefits The architecture is a foundation for cost-effective real-time application delivery such as video on an all IP network It includes a simplified network topology with reduced layers mdash which equals less equipment The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch series features very low power usage further reducing operational costs

Enterprises need a powerful efficient agile and resilient IT organization that not only cuts costs but actually delivers ROI to the enterprise mdash both by minimizing the potential loss of revenues that
inevitably result when the network is down and through increased employee productivity The ability to converge networks and related operations and optimize application performance further contributes to achieving ROI
Alcatel-Lucent solutions reduce both CAPEX and OPEX and increase ROI through lower energy consumption and an economical growth path The new network architecture reduces network layers thus minimizing costs and enabling a greater ROI
Additionally Alcatel-Lucentrsquos high-density non-blocking 10GigE switches with large per port packet buffers allows businesses to deliver quality bandwidth and maximize network performance for a dramatically improved user experience As a result of these capabilities and more businesses can maximize employee productivity while simultaneously reducing CAPEX and OPEX
