TO ALL: Good day for LU today. I found this article interesting, not sure if it's new or old news though. ------------------------------- The Synergy of Collaboration - Lucent and Microsoft Support the Rapid Growth of the Internet Need a complete solution for systems integration? Well, two of the industry's top innovators, Lucent and Microsoft, can offer one of the best and smoothest solutions to integrate all the twists and turns of networks. As part of an agreement, Lucent will become a systems integrator for Microsoft and provide professional services to users of Microsoft Internet Products. In addition, Lucent will also participate in Microsoft's NetOp Partner Solutions Center, a facility dedicated to the quick deployment of public network solutions. The agreement brings together the combined expertise, products and services to provide network operators with key solutions to work across networks. As systems integrator, Lucent will prepare networks with Microsoft's Commercial Internet System, a set of Internet Server components for service providers. Leveraging its experience with data networks that grow to support millions of users, Lucent will work with network and Internet service providers to help ready their operations for live service by addressing concerns such as testing and scalabilty. Network service providers who are entering the Internet Service Provider (ISP) market can turn to Lucent for integration across multiple networks. Not only can Lucent integrate Microsoft products, it also offers other key services such as billing, network management and service provisioning for ISPs. By wrapping professional services around a full portfolio of Internet products and network management capabilities, the agreement between Microsoft and Lucent offers a comprehensive approach to supporting the rapid growth of the Internet. --------------------------------------
