The partnership will grow Nokia&#8217;s global footprint to over 30 countries and strengthen its role as a strategic supplier for Microsoft&#8217;s worldwide cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new agreement also builds upon the companies\u2019 existing collaboration around open source SONiC, and highlights Nokia&#8217;s continued innovation in developing and expanding SONiC capabilities, including in the area of chassis-based support for high-capacity network roles within the datacenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the expansion, Nokia will supply its 7250\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onestore.nokia.com\/asset\/201561\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IXR-10e<\/a>\u00a0platform to deliver\u00a0multi-terabit-scale interconnectivity within Microsoft\u2019s datacenters. Nokia will also continue to deliver its custom developed management top of rack switch that is used extensively throughout the Azure network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nokia SONiC-based data center routers and switches will be deployed both in greenfield locations and used in support of Microsoft&#8217;s migration from 100GE to 400GE connectivity within existing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> This will enable Microsoft to meet increasing traffic demands for years to come with Nokia\u2019s exceptional networking performance and reliability. Deployment of the Nokia 7250 IXR-10e will begin in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vach Kompella, Senior Vice President and General Manager of IP Networks business at Nokia, said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWe are pleased to move to the next phase of our relationship with Microsoft by expanding the agreement\u2019s product scope, geographical reach and time commitment to five years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of this new deal, Nokia will further increase the scalability and reliability of Microsoft Azure datacenters around the world. This win affirms Nokia&#8217;s commitment to being a strategic supplier for tier one hyperscaler companies, and highlights that our multi-year strategic investments and approach have put us on the right trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David Maltz, Technical Fellow and Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Azure Networking, said:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cAs leaders in the advancement of cloud compute, we are continuously expanding our global footprint to support the massive growth in compute workloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past six years we have worked with Nokia&#8217;s engineers to develop their routers running SONiC to rapidly advance our expansion at the quality our customers demand.\u201d<strong>Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nokia expands global footprint\u00a0to\u00a0over 30 countries and strengthens role as a strategic supplier for Microsoft&#8217;s cloud infrastructure.
