iWay taps Nokia to modernize and automate data center infrastructure

Nokia transforms Swiss service provider's data center operations with enhanced automation, security, and scalability.

Objective

Switzerland digital landscape is evolving fast. Headquartered in Zurich, iWay is one of Switzerland’s leading Internet service providers for residential customers and small and medium-sized enterprises. 

Growing consumer demands and security challenges are redefining what an internet provider’s data center must deliver. As surging demand for data sovereignty becomes a top priority, enterprises are turning to modern, automated data centers. 

To meet the challenge, iWay is modernizing its data center network with a foundation built for the scale and security demands of digital age.

Solution

iWay has selected Nokia’s high-performance data center networking solutions, including Nokia’s Data Center Fabric (DCF) and Event-Driven Automation (EDA) platform, combined with Kyndryl’s end-to-end network management services to transform and modernize its data center operations. 

Following a successful lab proof-of-concept in Zurich, Nokia’s initial deployment for iWay includes 32 leaf switches and two spine switches, fully automated through Nokia’s EDA platform.

The result is a streamlined environment, open and ready to evolve as consumer and business demands. For iWay, this is not just a data center upgrade. It is a future-ready platform that helps them deliver the most reliable, high-performance services to their customers, every day.

Benefits of the solution

The deployment will

• Simplify network management,
• Accelerate new feature rollouts,
• Improve visibility and reliability,
• Bolster security.

It is paving the way for a more scalable and efficient data center fabric solution, while enhancing the performance of iWay’s services to customers.
