Press releaseNokia selected by CoreWeave to provide networking
backbone behind hyperscale AI cloud
- CoreWeave to deploy Nokia IP and optical platforms in
datacenters across U.S. and Europe as part of massive wide area
network buildout to support high-performance AI infrastructure
- Nokia ultra-fast, reliable performance at scale supports the
lossless, low latency communications so critical to enabling the AI
boom
16 September 2024Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced it has
been selected by CoreWeave, the AI Hyperscaler™, to deploy its IP
routing and optical transport portfolios globally as part of an
extensive backbone build-out, with immediate roll-out across its
datacenters in the U.S. and Europe. The Nokia solution provides
super-fast, reliable performance at scale, while driving 30%+ more
traffic within the same energy envelope – features fundamental to
the stringent and skyrocketing data demands of artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads.
CoreWeave powers the most compute-intensive and complex
workloads and AI-centered applications. This requires a networking
backbone that provides super-fast and reliable customer access to
CoreWeave’s services as well as critical network connectivity to
support CoreWeave’s AI cloud infrastructure. As requirements for
generative AI, ML, graphics and rendering (VFX) continue to grow,
the Nokia IP and Optical portfolios, along with high-performance
FP5 IP routing silicon, will provide the high programmability and
customization that allow the hyperscaler to evolve with changing
traffic behaviors and growth.
Jim Julson, Director of Networking at CoreWeave,
said: “CoreWeave has chosen Nokia hardware to power its
backbone and edge platforms to meet the performance, stability and
scalability demands that today's and tomorrow’s AI and ML hyper
scale clouds require. With the explosion of demand centered around
the infrastructure required to meet these demands, Nokia has proven
to be a critical partner and we have no doubt that as CoreWeave
continues to scale, Nokia will be there to help facilitate a
world-class cloud experience for all our customers.”
Vach Kompella, Senior Vice President and General Manager
of IP Networks business at Nokia, said: “As the
hyperscaler behind some of the biggest AI enterprises and labs in
the world, CoreWeave is at the forefront of innovation in
unexplored territory. That requires proven reliability, performance
at scale without compromise, and the increased efficiency Nokia’s
automation solutions bring. This approach secures lossless and
ultra-low latency delivery every single time – regardless of
traffic peaks or unexpected events. We are looking forward to
deploying Nokia IP and optical platforms in CoreWeave’s backbone as
it expands its global network of datacenters.”
CoreWeave’s IP backbone is being built with the FP5-based Nokia
7750 Service Router (SR), which provides massive routing scale,
800Gb/s speeds, and strong Ethernet VPN (EVPN) support, and Nokia’s
ultra-reliable, secure, high-performance Service Router Operating
System (SROS). Optical transport and datacenter interconnection
across the WAN will leverage the Nokia 1830 Photonic Service
Interconnect (PSI) solution. The Nokia Network Services Platform
(NSP) will automate network functions and optimize resource
allocation.
