•In the enterprise space, new managed data services — such as virtual private LAN service (VPLS), IP virtual private networks (IP-VPNs) and multiservice transit appli- cations using pseudowires (PWs) over a variety of access methods (frame relay [FR], asynchronous transfer mode [ATM], Ethernet, high-level data link control [HDLC]/point-to-point protocol [PPP], etc.) — allow service providers to attract and retain a wider customer base at a lower cost through converged and more reliable IP/MPLS service infrastructures. In turn,
end-user customers benefit from a wider variety of service offerings, increased service flexibility and accelerated service activation.
With the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR, service providers are able to build a new type of cost-optimized highly-available and feature- rich service delivery infrastructure that can seamlessly scale to address both residential and managed data service market needs, while delivering significant economies of scale, skill and scope.
