China Mobile selects Nuage Networks to bolster cloud servers

China Mobile_boothNuage Networks announced China Mobile has selected its software-defined networking (SDN) infrastructure to support 2000 public cloud servers in the cities of Beijing and Guangzhou.

China Mobile (CMCC) has selected Nuage Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) to implement CMCC’s first commercial public cloud project based on SDN technology.

The SDN solution will increase the speed of deployments by ten times, while reducing operating expenses by up to 50 percent, the company said.

Nuage Networks VSP enables China Mobile to virtualize its multi-tenant datacenter networks and establish connectivity among computing resources while at the same time providing more features to customers, according to Nuage officials.

As a result, CMCC can implement new datacenters ten times faster than with physical deployments, and reduce operating expenses by up to 50%, they added.

Yu Xiaohan, head of Customer Business Team, CMCC at Nokia Networks China, said,  ”The successful track record of Nuage Networks’ VSP in major operators’ clouds around the world, and our philosophy of building open cloud environments that avoid customer lock-in, were both instrumental in our ability to win China Mobile’s first open bid for its datacenter SDN.”
