Nokia webscale networking solutions enable you to build automated, scalable and reliable interconnection platforms that deliver richer cloud applications and services to your customers while increasing operations efficiency.
What is webscale networking?
As a webscale company, you rely on data centers and network infrastructure to host and deliver the cloud services that your customers demand. With webscale networking, you can build network infrastructure and data center interconnection platforms that dynamically connect your customers to cloud services anytime and anywhere. These services can run in your own and third-party data centers, on- and off-premises, in the edge and in the core, and in public, private and hybrid clouds.
Webscale networking applies to all types of webscale companies that need to scale their infrastructure massively to support the cloud, including cloud providers, carrier-neutral network operators, internet exchange providers, data center operators, colocation providers and hosting providers.
How you benefit from webscale networking
Webscale networking includes IP, optical and data center network solutions that make it simpler to respond to your customers’ increasingly elastic demand for bandwidth, capacity, applications and services.
Our network automation, analytics and security solutions enhance your operational efficiency, give you more granular control and provide stronger cyber protection for your customers and business.

Interconnection
Interconnection
The edge and core data centers that make up the cloud form an ecosystem that enables digital transformation and the digital economy. IP interconnection and peering connect your customers to networks, data centers, services and applications in this ecosystem regardless of their location. They enable the regional and global networks that connect and interconnect cloud data centers to exchange traffic in a scalable, secure and reliable way.
Our high-performance edge and core routers let you implement secure, high-density IP interconnection, peering and routing at speeds of 400GE, 800GE and above. This means you can keep pace with increasing traffic demands without compromising efficiency, performance or edge functionality such as traffic engineering and DDoS mitigation.
