Press Release
- Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch to connect 7 Xiaomi data
centers in the Beijing region with a high-capacity, reliable and
agile optical network
- The network will enable the Chinese electronics and Internet
giant to enhance its operations and offer higher-speed,
higher-quality Internet services to its subscribers
26 February 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is providing Xiaomi, a leading
electronics manufacture and Internet service provider in China,
with a state-of-the-art fiber optic network to link 7 data centers
in the Beijing region. The new network will enable the fast-growing
company to reduce bottlenecks in its data transport network and
bring higher-speed, lower latency Internet services to its
customers.
For this project, Nokia is providing Xiaomi with its data center
interconnect (DCI) solution, based on the company's 1830 Photonic
Service Switch (PSS) and managed by the Network Services Platform.
The 1830 PSS is a high-performance Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) platform that delivers the capacity, security
and control required for enterprise data center networks. Nokia's
DCI solution is enabling Xiaomi to tie together its data centers to
effectively establish a private cloud that it can use to support
its internal data management needs.
This agreement builds on Nokia's substantial track-record
providing DCI solutions to large enterprises such as financial
institutions, healthcare providers and 'webscale' companies. The
project also highlights the growing momentum behind Nokia's
strategy to expand its customer base to organizations outside of
the traditional telecommunications sphere.
Drazen Lukic, head of China IP and Optical
Networks Business Group at Nokia, said: "As large
enterprises in China and around the world look to take advantage of
the benefits of private cloud, Nokia's data center interconnect
solution offers an ideal way of bringing together geographically
distributed assets to form a single, high-performance cloud. This
initiative is enabling Xiaomi to maximize network capacity, address
fast-growing traffic demands and enjoy the flexibility of the cloud
with the security, reliability and performance of a private
network."
