Prepare your network for the cloud

Equip your network to respond to evolving demands created by the move to the cloud. Nokia software-defined networking (SDN) solutions help you meet these demands and drive new efficiencies across your networks.

Our SDN solutions reduce the complexity of your operations and help you respond and adapt to the dynamic nature of cloud-based consumption models. We enable carrier SDN for IP and optical network infrastructure and services. And through our Nuage Networks™ venture, we provide SDN solutions to improve data center and branch networking.

SDN for IP and optical networks

Our Network Services Platform (NSP) offers management and SDN control for automation, optimization and assurance of IP and optical networks. NSP enables you to bring more efficiency across multi-vendor IP/MPLS, Ethernet and optical networks – this lowers operating costs and enables services to be delivered to market faster.

With NSP for your IP and optical SDN you can achieve:

• Consistent service provisioning that makes the best use of network assets
• Optimized network and traffic engineering that avoids congestion and degraded performance
• Dynamic assurance to operate the network with maximum performance and reliability
• Coordination and multi-layer SDN across IP/optical network domains

Data center network virtualization

We can help you build and operate a secure and responsive network on any scale, from a single rack to a service provider cloud. The Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform lets you instantaneously and automatically deliver compute, storage, and networking resources to thousands of tenants and user groups.

Branch network virtualization

Our virtualized network services (VNS) help you respond to change with more speed and agility. They let you deliver network services where, when, and as needed over any network, cloud, form factor, or deployment model. And they give you full control and visibility. So you can define service capabilities and establish policies that can be applied consistently and seamlessly.

Bring new services to market, manage massive growth, and automate operations

Cloud expands the human possibilities of technology for a world of unpredictable traffic patterns and a continuous stream of innovation, new apps and services. It enables you to offer a superior customer experience and pursue growth with Verticals, IoT and 5G.

You face many challenges and have exciting new opportunities to build profitability. Demand continues to grow, requiring new network capacity and more efficient operations. At the same time, providing a great customer experience and implementing new services quickly are vital to your revenues. Cloud helps you address all these opportunities.
