Nokia Networks enters cloud infrastructure market with disruptive launch of AirFrame Data Center Solution
Espoo, Finland - 1 June 2015
The first steps for the telco cloud were focused on taking core applications to a virtualized environment, offering immediate benefits of added scalability, flexibility and business agility. However, when implementing a comprehensive telco cloud architecture operators are faced with strict latency requirements and an extremely high demand for processing power. The new AirFrame Data Center Solution is the first to directly address these requirements and effectively merge the telco and IT domains in one single solution, utilizing high performance Intel® technology.
In developing AirFrame, Nokia Networks has invested in further advancing the data center hardware technology. Its innovations will deliver acceleration capabilities that will help operator customers be more efficient and differentiate themselves in the market. To continue advancing its solutions, Nokia Networks has opened a dedicated R&D facility for data center technology development. With this solid foundation, the Nokia AirFrame Data Center Solution brings what is needed to efficiently merge the IT and telco domains and pave the way towards 5G.

* Nokia Networks is a forerunner in developing telco cloud, innovating in several key dimensions. This includes network function virtualization (NFV), enabling the company to help operators move from the virtualization of single network elements to full cloud orchestration, including cloud application management.
Over the years, the company has developed and tested with its customers virtualized network elements, focusing on the core and cloud application management, resulting in bringing the telco cloud to commercial readiness. In September, 2014, Nokia Networks announced the delivery of the first commercial NFV solution to enable cloud-based VoLTE services.
