Lumen Validated Designs

Accelerate time-to-value, reduce deployment cost and simplify technology adoption with production-tested architectures built on the Lumen Network.

 

Real, documented deployments. Not proofs of concept.

Technology decisions are often stalled by complexity and uncertainty. Lumen Validated Designs (LVDs) are tested, validated architectures co-designed by Lumen and trusted ecosystem partners to help organizations move forward with speed and confidence while minimizing risks and optimizing costs—all without compromising quality.

 

When you work with Lumen, you work with the operator of the #1 peered global network,¹ optimized with significant bandwidth and throughput. Enhance performance with designs that provide:

 

  • Cost-effective and accelerated deployment: Reduce complexity and implementation risk with architectures that are ready to deploy.
  • Proven reliability: Each LVD is tested to help ensure interoperability, scalability and performance.
  • Expert architecture: These designs reflect Lumen’s broad service capabilities, integrated with tech partner solutions to perform in real-word environments.

 

Every LVD is built to support specific use cases and business goals, enabling organizations to move from strategy to execution with speed and confidence.

 

Managed and Professional Services (M&P): LVDs provide the blueprint, M&Ps can help you bring it to life. Our experts rapidly assess your current infrastructure and execute the validated design according to your needs so your team can stay focused on strategic priorities.

Cyber resilience 

Business continuity starts with a resilient network that powers secure operations. Architectures that combine validated workflows, air-gapped vaulting and automated policies enable continuous backup, clean recovery and secure hybrid connectivity, laying the foundation for fast, confident recovery.

Data and AI

Intelligence depends on infrastructure that performs. AI workloads require secure, high-throughput access to reliable data. Resilient architectures backed by robust network connectivity support training, inferencing and analytics across edge, core and cloud. This foundation enables scale, speed and integrity.

Security

Peace of mind starts with a reliable architecture. When protection is built into every layer from the start, organizations gain stronger control, visibility and response. Proven controls and scalable design create a flexible foundation, validated to help teams stay ahead of risk and focus on what matters.
