Greg Thompson of Alcatel-Lucent presented at the AWS Summit 2011 on the company's Open API Platform. The platform consists of three suites that can be deployed together or separately: API Management for exposing network assets, App Validation for simplifying app development, and a Digital Media Store for app distribution. Alcatel-Lucent uses AWS for its scalability, security, availability in multiple regions, and because it is well established and a leader in cloud services. Benefits of AWS include quick deployment without hardware, easy management through interfaces and APIs, and good support. Future plans include increasing automation and dynamic scaling of products in the cloud.
