Alcatel-Lucent to base SME comms products on Red Hat Linux

Business IT - Technology

Alcatel-Lucent will migrate its existing Linux based IP-PBX and collaboration and unified communication servers for SMEs to Red Hat Linux software.

Alcatel-Lucent claims that the evolution toward Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Realtime technology, a major component of the recently announced Red Hat MRG, will enable it to strengthen reliability, scalability, security and stability throughout the lifecycle of its SME portfolio of voice, data, mobility and collaboration products. "Alcatel-Lucent will benefit from Red Hat's hardware certification program on its next-generation hardware platforms, and from Red Hat's extended support cycles including security updates."

Tom Burns, COO of Alcatel-Lucent's enterprise activities said Red Hat was "the obvious choice for Alcatel-Lucent. By relying on the market leader in open source software and services for our operating system and middleware needs, we can focus our development efforts on delivering innovative ways for fixed and mobile users to communicate and interact with each other.

The Alcatel-Lucent SME portfolio comprises the OmniPCX Office family of IP-PBX systems and the Extended Communication Server family of collaboration and unified communication servers, all of which are based on Linux distributions. Red Hat-based versions will be available 1H 2009.
