Nokia selected by CoreWeave to provide networking backbone behind hyperscale AI cloud
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.
"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."
