According to Sam Barnett, Directing Analyst for Data Center and Cloud, Infonetics Research, “Alcatel-Lucent has the top spot among its competitors in terms of percentage revenue growth quarter-over-quarter worldwide in Q3’2012. Only one other vendor saw double digit growth from Q2 to Q3, with the rest in the low single digits or even negative.”

“While the rest of industry grew at an average of less than one percent, we are at a double digit pace and we attribute that to the quality and breath of offerings we are able to deliver to our customers,” said, Stephane Robineau, General Manager, Networks Business at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. “We’re pleased that we’ve been able to perform so well in this tough economy.  As enterprises continue to expand their networks, they are seeking solutions that optimize performance, reduce complexity and most importantly provide a seamless user experience. The worldwide growth we have seen in Q3 in data center and cloud categories indicates that our solutions are important for our customers as they continue to build and expand their networks.”
