September 15 2016 - 03:05AM
- Nokia opens Global Cloud Design Center in the UK dedicated to
leveraging IT and telco multi-vendor cloud capabilities
- New Prime Integration Service draws on expertise for design and
deployment of tailored multi-vendor cloud networks
- Launch of 'cloud wise care services' to provide software
validation and testing and comprehensive cloud monitoring services
using Nokia's global expertise

operators' evolution to 5G and IoT
ESPOO, Finland, Sept. 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nokia
is to simplify the design, delivery and management of operators'
multi-vendor cloud networks with the opening of a dedicated global
Cloud Design Center and the extension of its 'cloud wise services'
expertise.
The move towards the cloud promises new agility and flexibility
for operators. Nokia is now extending these benefits to the
implementation and management of a multi-vendor cloud. At its new
Cloud Design Center in Fleet in the United Kingdom, Nokia
will leverage its expertise in network design and systems
integration as well as its extensive cloud partnership
ecosystem.
Nokia is launching Prime Integration Services, under
which it will act as the single point of contact, working in a
development and operations (DevOps) based approach, to design and
build open, standardized multi-vendor cloud networks tailored to
meet operators' specific needs. Nokia will showcase these
capabilities at the Design Center in Fleet, which incorporates an
integrated multi-vendor IT and telco cloud platform upon which
Nokia will test, validate and demonstrate new services. The
delivery of the cloud will be managed at various regional
centers.
Along with the Cloud Design Center, Nokia has also launched its
new 'cloud wise care services', providing:
- Care software validation and testing services tailored to an
operator's network environment to ensure network quality is
maintained and customers are not impacted during upgrades.
- Cloud monitoring services, offering a comprehensive package of
network monitoring, analytics and troubleshooting from the Nokia
Global Delivery Centers or by providing a cloud 'expert as a
service' at the operator's premises.
Nokia is also extending its previously announced Cloud
Transformation Consulting Service to include all aspects of a
virtualized network and deliver a structured end-to-end cloud
transformation that will also prepare operators for the evolution
to 5G and IoT.
Chris Antlitz, telecom senior analyst, Technology Business
Research, said: "Operators' migration to software-mediated
technologies delivered within cloud-centric environments is a
radical change from the way networks have been architected and
provisioned historically, and this shift requires new competencies
and support models. Nokia's new cloud-related services, therefore,
fill a critical need in the market."
Deepak Harie, head of Systems Integration Services at Nokia,
said: "The level of complexity in an operator's network is
increasing as new technology, services and software are introduced.
Nokia has a long history of systems integration and deep network
services expertise. In addition, we are investing in IT, cloud and
data center capabilities to address the challenges for operators as
they deploy and manage their cloud networks and to prepare them for
the evolution to IoT and 5G.
