Simplifying network administration in an Alcatel-Lucent VMware virtual environment
Supplied by Alcatel Lucent on Monday, 01 July, 2013
VMware's server virtualisation allows IT organisations to use network computing and storage resources more efficiently. But a virtual infrastructure requires a different set of management tools than those used to manage a physical infrastructure.
As a result, it is difficult for network administrators to get a consolidated and consistent view of the entire network. Alcatel-Lucent provides a VMware Ready, application fluent data centre network solution that supports integration of the VMware vSphere virtualization suite, and simplifies virtual machine mobility management.
This paper presents an overview of the Alcatel-Lucent VMware solution. It describes how the solution supports virtual machine mobility and streamlines physical and virtual network management and maintenance processes.
