New Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise technology advances the simplicity of networking and changes the game with automation in both the Converged Campus environment and Data Centers. The Intelligent Fabric technology is the latest step to deliver streamlined operations for IT with network automation and embedded resilience as part of our continued innovation to evolve our Application Fluent Network strategy announced in 2010. These new capabilities – found on new OmniSwitch products - speed up deployment roll outs and routine moves/adds/changes, resulting in reduced costs and efforts to set up and maintain networks. The intelligent fabric includes unique capabilities recognized but leading industry analysts: It is able to seamlessly work with overlay technologies like VXLAN by offering not only Virtual Machine visibility inside VXLAN tunnels but also applying Quality of Service, security and prioritization to this VM’s traffic. Another first in the market, is the ability to monitor ports and trunks in the network fabric, and predict potential bottlenecks months ahead – this enables IT to proactively plan network expansions or policies adjustments. http://enterprise.alcatel-lucent.com/?solution=ApplicationFluentNetwork&page=Intelligent-Fabric
