Nokia has been chosen by Nscale to implement an IP network solution to enhance artificial intelligence (AI) workloads at Nscale's upcoming data center in Norway. This facility, operating entirely on renewable energy and designed for energy efficiency, will enable advanced AI applications, including GPU as a Service (GPUaaS), for which Nscale is recognized as a global leader.

The demand for AI-driven applications is escalating, necessitating a robust network capable of handling extensive data processing. Nokia’s Ethernet-based data center fabric is built to deliver the scalability, programmability, and low latency essential for supporting high-performance GPU clusters across various sectors such as education, healthcare, and finance.

David Power, CTO at Nscale, stated, “Our mission is to redefine the boundaries of AI and High-Performance Computing through innovative, sustainable solutions. Nokia’s data center fabric enables us to scale our GPU clusters while maintaining the reliability and performance needed to serve our customers with cutting-edge AI services. The flexibility of Nokia’s solution ensures we can bring advanced AI capabilities to market faster.”

Paul Alexander, Vice President and Country General Manager at Nokia, emphasized the significance of this partnership, saying, “As a hyperscaler, Nscale is already delivering turnkey AI solutions globally. With support from Nokia, the path to accessible AI innovation has never been easier. By integrating advanced Ethernet technology with sustainability, we are assisting Nscale in delivering world-class AI services while promoting renewable energy and environmental responsibility.”

Nokia’s network solution incorporates the 7220 IXR and 7750 SR platforms, designed for ultra-reliability and seamless automation, catering to the increasing requirements of AI workloads. This collaboration is poised to enhance cloud operations and AI service accessibility for enterprises worldwide.
