Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced a strategic
collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) that will
accelerate the migration of service provider applications to the
cloud and drive digital innovation for large enterprise
customers.On their journey to achieve the performance and
flexibility brought by cloud technologies, Communication Service
Providers (CSPs) and Enterprises need solutions to address the
connectivity needs of cloud-based applications such as optimizing
latency, virtualized network and routing services, and solutions
for the Internet of Things (IoT). Nokia and AWS are working
together to bring a unique and powerful set of solutions that will
enable service providers to implement cloud strategies faster
leveraging Nokia's expertise in wireless, wireline and 5G
technologies. Large enterprises require fully managed connectivity
to access cloud infrastructure, and fully integrated IoT and
analytics solutions to enhance their productivity and ease of
digitalization. The two companies will work to deliver
differentiated solutions using Nokia SD-WAN and its IMPACT IoT
platform in combination with AWS Greengrass, machine learning and
artificial intelligence services.The scope of the agreement
announced today covers four areas of collaboration:
- Nokia will support service providers in their AWS
implementation strategy with a complete suite of services including
consulting, design, integration, migration and operation for
infrastructure and applications.
- Nokia and AWS will work together to generate new 5G and Edge
Cloud strategies and guidance for customers including reference
architectures that enable both service providers and enterprises to
benefit.
- Nokia and AWS are working to bring an improved user experience
for Nuage Networks SD-WAN customers who use AWS. Enterprises can
benefit from this seamless integration with AWS and launch secure
branch connectivity in hybrid environments with "Single Pane of
Glass" capabilities.
- Finally, the companies are commercializing IoT use cases with
AWS Greengrass, Amazon Machine Learning, Nokia Multi-access Edge
Computing (MEC) and Nokia IMPACT platform.
Kathrin Buvac, Nokia's Chief Strategy Officer, said: "The
4th Industrial Revolution requires a tighter integration between
the IT and networking infrastructure worlds. Our collaboration with
AWS will accelerate the migration of service provider applications
to the cloud and enable us to forge new opportunities together by
delivering on next-generation connectivity and cloud services. This
is a wide-ranging collaboration, spanning our services capabilities
in application migration, SD-WAN from Nuage Networks, 5G, and IoT,
allowing new growth opportunities for our top customers across both
the service provider and large enterprise market segments."Terry
Wise, Global Vice President of Channels and Alliances, Amazon Web
Services, Inc., said: "Service providers are accelerating their
migration to AWS in order to drive innovation for their customers
and deliver lower total cost of IT to their organizations. We are
excited to partner with Nokia to accelerate cloud transformation
for service providers, and enable the digital transformation
journey for our mutual large enterprise customers."
