Nokia's Solutions Used by CoreWeave to Boost Its Network Backbone
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nokia Corporation (NOK - Free Report) recently announced that it has been selected by CoreWeave to deploy its state-of-the-art IP routing and optical transport solutions in the latter’s data centers in the United States and Europe to support high-performance AI infrastructure.
Known for handling compute-intensive workloads and AI-centered applications, CoreWeave requires a networking backbone that ensures rapid and dependable customer access to its services. Additionally, as the demand for generative AI, ML, graphics and rendering VFX is rapidly growing, critical network connectivity is also becoming essential for the company’s cloud infrastructure.
NOK’s Focus on Providing Networking Backbone
Nokia’s advanced solution promises to support CoreWeave’s backbone and edge platforms by delivering super-fast, reliable performance at scale while also managing more than 30% of traffic within the same energy envelope.
Post-deployment, the backbone will feature Nokia’s IP routing and optical transport portfolio, including the FP5-based Nokia 7750 Service Router. The router is known for its extensive routing capabilities, speeds of up to 800Gb/s and strong Ethernet VPN support. For optical transport and data center interconnection across the WAN, Nokia’s 1830 Photonic Service Interconnect solution will be employed. Additionally, to automate network functions and optimize resource management, Nokia’s Network Services Platform will be used.
Increasing Client Base to Drive Performance for NOK
With the emergence of the smartphone market and subsequent usage of mobile broadband, user demand for coverage speed and quality has increased in recent times. Further, to maintain superior performance as traffic increases, there is also a continuous need for network tuning and optimization.
Nokia is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks with the software and services to manage them. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, the company is transforming the way people and things communicate and connect. These include a seamless transition to 5G technology, ultra-broadband access, IP and Software Defined Networking, cloud applications and Internet of Things.
With a strong presence in more than 100 countries, the Finnish multinational telecommunication company is expected to benefit from the increasing customer base. This will likely enable the company to generate higher revenues in the upcoming quarters. Improving financial performance is likely to propel the stock upward.
