Nokia is set to build CoreWeave’s global networking backbone, deploying cutting-edge IP routing and optical transport solutions to support the company’s rapidly growing AI cloud infrastructure across the US and Europe. The deployment will leverage Nokia’s high-speed FP5-based 7750 Service Router and 1830 Photonic Service Interconnect (PSI), which will boost traffic capacity by over 30% while still keeping energy usage low.
CoreWeave, a fast-growing AI cloud provider, continues its rapid expansion in the data center space. The company plans to operate 28 data centers globally by the end of 2024, with an additional 10 centers slated for 2025. Jim Julson, CoreWeave’s director of networking, emphasized the importance of Nokia’s technology, noting how critical it is in meeting the escalating demands of AI and machine learning. “Nokia is critical to our growth,” Julson remarked, underscoring the company’s dedication to performance and scalability.
In addition to these advancements, Nokia has also introduced an event-driven data center automation platform designed to reduce operational errors and minimize downtime. Built on Kubernetes, the platform includes generative AI assistance and digital twin technology, making it compatible with multi-vendor environments.
Moreover, Vach Kompella, SVP and GM of Nokia’s IP Networks division, described the automation platform as a “game-changer” for reducing human error and improving efficiency in data center operations. Ultimately, Nokia’s dual focus on advanced networking and automation solutions further solidifies its leadership in the AI and cloud infrastructure space.
