CoreWeave Selects Nokia to Back its Hyperscale AI Cloud

Must read

Its solution also aims to drive 30% more traffic within the same energy envelope, which is fundamental to continued skyrocketing demands of AI and machine learning workloads within the data centre sector.

This news comes in the wake of CoreWeave announcing a £1bn (US$1.25bn) expansion into the UK to reinforce its data centre engineering, operations, finance and market strategies – in addition to opening multiple facilities across the country. This is designed to continue advancing AI.

Supporting compute-intensive workloads

At its heart, CoreWeave powers the most compute-intensive complex workloads and AI-centred applications. This requires a networking backbone that provides fast and reliable customer access to its services and critical network connectivity to support its AI cloud infrastructure. 

This is where Nokia comes in, which is particularly timely given the requirements for generative AI (Gen AI) and machine learning continue to grow across the data centre sector. With this in mind, the Nokia IP and Optical portfolios stand to provide high programmability and customisation for CoreWeave to evolve with continued changing traffic behaviours and growth.

“CoreWeave has chosen Nokia hardware to power its backbone and edge platforms to meet the performance, stability and scalability demands that today’s and tomorrow’s AI and ML hyper scale clouds require,” comments Jim Julson, Director of Networking at CoreWeave.
