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."
