DALLAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept.
30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and Brocade are
teaming up to enhance the Network on Demand platform.
AT&T is utilizing Software Defined Networking (SDN) and
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies to create
dynamic on-demand services. We're leading the shift to next
generation networking by providing customers with more flexible and
scalable services.
We're working with Brocade to enable routing functions to be
delivered from the cloud. The new on-demand Managed Internet
Service uses SDN and NFV technologies to deploy virtualized access
routers and automate control in our core network. That means
customers don't need to buy additional equipment at their
locations. With Managed Internet Service on Demand, businesses can
adjust and add capabilities in near-real time.
"Brocade is proud to work with AT&T on their
industry-leading innovations bringing agile, new IP network
services to customers," said Kelly
Herrell, senior vice president and general manager of
Software Networking, Brocade. "The cloud model taught the
world that virtualizing the IT infrastructure speeds service
delivery and provides greater flexibility. With Network on
Demand, AT&T has proven this also holds true for enterprise
network services."
"We're working with Brocade to enhance our Managed Internet
Service on Demand, so customers don't need a router at their
location. With the support of their technology, customers will
experience faster installations and more dynamic control of their
network service," said Roman
Pacewicz, senior vice president, AT&T Marketing and
Global Strategy.
With new Network on Demand capabilities, we're continuing to
make our network dynamic and adaptive. This will enable the
agility, speed and efficiency our business customers need. Managed
Internet Service on Demand will be available in select U.S. cities
later this fall.
