Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router
The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR) is the industry’s first service router designed and optimized for the delivery of high-performance carrier data, voice and video services. The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router was designed with system characteristics, routing and service capabilities that have made it the platform of choice in more than 50 newgeneration service infrastructure rollouts.
The Changing Service Landscape — Rethinking the Service Delivery Architecture The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR functions as both a powerful router and a flexible service delivery platform, and integrates with the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM) to deliver efficient and streamlined provisioning, management and billing for Internet protocol (IP)/multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks. Global service providers are preparing for the next wave of residential and business service deployments.
end-user customers benefit from a wider variety of service offerings, increased service flexibility and accelerated service activation. • In the enterprise space, new managed data services — such as virtual private LAN service (VPLS), IP virtual private networks (IP-VPNs) and multiservice transit applications 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.
A New Class of Platform The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR platform provides purpose-built, highly available software and hardware architectures that allow network operators to “right-size” their service infrastructure buildout. The 7750 SR provides the necessary built-in services capabilities and packet processing headroom to allow service providers to scale service instances, subscriber count and bandwidth without incurring exponential capital or operating expenditures (CAPEX or OPEX).
The Profitability Factor An improved regulatory environment and the clear potential for incremental revenue have convinced many incumbent service providers to rapidly make considerable investments in new service delivery infrastructures. By adding video, voice and managed data services to their existing highspeed data and Internet service lineups, service providers can improve their competitive position in the market.
• Streamline network operations across protocol layers to achieve economies of skill, and evolve the overall service infrastructure to a more homogeneous, scalable and flexible architecture • Streamline business operations to achieve significant economies of scope across service offerings (e.g.
Key Features The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR delivers the features that service providers need to offer a new generation of highly profitable mediarich services. The service orientation of the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR means that all the features are designed around the concept of a service, whereas existing routers and switches were designed around physical interfaces. This fundamental difference in architecture and design separates the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR from other vendors’ routers. Table 1. The 7750 SR vs.
Purpose-Built, Highly-Available Platforms The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router portfolio benefits from Alcatel-Lucent’s recognized experience in delivering carriergrade telephony, wireless, optical and data solutions. The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR portfolio was designed to exceed the stringent reliability demands of service providers, with a hardware and software architecture designed for maximum uptime.
Market-Leading Scalability All Services on All Interfaces The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR was designed to support tens of thousands of services per device and scale to hundreds of thousands of service instances per service area, making it ideal for multiservice edge and collapsed core applications. Each individual service can be configured with thousands of specific ingress and egress QoS parameters and multiple services can be aggregated to deliver a single, overall SLA to each customer.
Service-Based Accounting Service-Aware Operational Toolkit Instead of maintaining statistics on a per-port basis, the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR keeps statistics on a billable service basis, providing accurate measurement of each customer’s traffic and each individual service’s conformance to the offered SLA.
truck rolls and the amount of operations equipment required, and allowing the most appropriate personnel and tools to be applied rapidly if problems arise. Service-Aware Management The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM) is a tightly integrated suite of management applications that simplify the process of provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting services on the AlcatelLucent 7750 Service Router.
Three Scalable Chassis Options — One Industry-Leading Solution The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR delivers outstanding performance, flexibility and scalability across a range of services, leveraging a generational leap in technology compared to today’s Internet routers. The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR has three chassis options: 12-slot, 7-slot and 1-slot.
The Alcatel-Lucent Solution Alcatel-Lucent offers a comprehensive portfolio of carrier-class products that enables a new type of highly available, feature-rich and scalable service delivery architecture. The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR is uniquely positioned to address the full range of service offerings that will allow service providers to increase network yields and maximize service profitability by offering managed data and triple-play offerings over a unified service infrastructure.
