Bytes Communication Systems has announced that the latest Dell'Oro Group reports have found its flagship Alcatel-Lucent switching products to have outperformed the market once again.
These findings mark the 14th consecutive quarter of market growth for the product suite, a remarkable feat considering that overall the market for LAN and WLAN has declined by 22% over the last year, while Alcatel-Lucent product figures remained steady.
Says Nick Hughes, Product Manager at Bytes Communication Systems: “While many competing products in this market have seen significant declines in sales, Alcatel-Lucent has remained consistently stable and has even managed to grow its market share. This is a strong testament to the quality of the products. We are proud to be the premier partner of Alcatel-Lucent in South Africa and be able to offer these best-of-breed products to our customers.”
The success of the brand comes as a result of the company's complete offering, which brings real value to customers, as well as its focus on verticals, such as education, government, healthcare and utilities, which are still investing despite global recession.
“These are significant markets in South Africa, especially with the renewed focus on improving service delivery, and by leveraging the power of Alcatel-Lucent's products, we can work with organisations within these verticals to deliver solutions precisely suited to their needs, using world-class product suites and our own extensive knowledge of the local market,” Hughes adds.
The success of the Alcatel-Lucent data network solutions distributed by Bytes Communication Systems can be attributed to a number of factors. The solutions are highly available, allowing for continuous enterprise business support through network resource and performance, while at the same time being cost-effective and future proofed for improved budget control through scalable technologies and optimised design. The solutions are also secure, which is especially important for business-critical information, and incorporate intrusion detection, prevention and full access control.
“With an easy to manage and interoperable interface for remote, cost-effective control through a centrally managed system that supports industry standards, mobile options that allow employees to work off site through WiFi technology, and superior green credentials for lowering running costs through minimised power consumption and cooling requirements, Alcatel-Lucent network products are well ahead of the game,” concludes Hughes.
