Nokia has announced that its Nokia AirFrame data centre solutions will be upgraded with the 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors to increase their compute capacity , faster data lanes and higher memory capacity . As a result of Nokia and Intel ’ s close working partnership , the AirFrame products will be upgraded immediately following the availability of the latest processors . Nokia ’ s AirFrame data centre is designed for running demanding virtualised and cloud-native software workloads in the 5G era . It supports network functionalities and addresses strict latency constraints in order to process huge data demands critical in delivering services with real-time responsiveness including applications and services at the Edge . The inclusion of the Intel Xeon Scalable Processors will provide faster speeds , superior data throughput and lower energy consumption to support Nokia ’ s 5G AirScale Cloud RAN and 5G Cloud Core solutions .
Leveraging Intel ’ s 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor , Nokia AirFrame can better power Nokia ’ s AirScale all-in-cloud virtual RAN ( vRAN ) and 5G core solutions to meet the requirements
|
demanded by 5G technologies . Nokia ’ s AirScale Cloud RAN virtualises radio functions to deliver ultra-low latency and high bit rates for demanding services , as well as providing the flexibility to deliver scalability , agility and operational efficiency to meet demand . Nokia and Intel have a long-standing collaboration which highlights Nokia ’ s continued focus on the development of its 5G portfolio , strengthening AirScale and leveraging the latest silicon chip design technologies and manufacturing capabilities .
Pasi Toivanen , Head of Edge Cloud at Nokia , said : “ This partnership highlights our continued commitment to ensuring our 5G portfolio is underpinned by bestin-class technology .
“ 5G networks need to support billions of devices and machines and this massive increase in volume and scale means that existing infrastructure and components must evolve rapidly , adopting technologies and techniques to enable to deploy 5G networks quickly .”
Cristina Rodriguez , Vice President and General Manager of Intel ’ s Wireless Access Network Division , said : “ Transforming the network with technology innovations from the core
|
to the Edge enables the full potential of 5G . Through our continued collaboration with Nokia , AirFrame will take advantage of the enhanced capabilities offered by the latest generation of Intel Xeon Scalable processors and our platform ingredients including Ethernet adapters and accelerators , giving operators a high-performance and optimised solution that can scale across their network workloads from core to Edge .” ◊
