Nokia has announced that it has been selected by CoreWeave, an artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscaler, to deploy its IP routing and optical transport portfolios as part of an extensive backbone build-out across its data centres in the USA and Europe.
Nokia said that its solution provides “super-fast” performance at scale, while driving 30% more traffic within the same energy envelope – features it believes are fundamental to the data demands of AI and machine-learning (ML) workloads.

CoreWeave powers compute-intensive and complex workload, as well as applications with AI at their core. This requires a networking backbone that provides customer access to CoreWeave’s services as well as network connectivity to support CoreWeave’s AI cloud infrastructure.
As requirements for generative AI, ML, graphics, and rendering (VFX) continue to grow across several industries, the Nokia IP and Optical portfolios, along with high-performance FP5 IP routing silicon, will provide the high programmability as well as customisation that allow the hyperscaler to evolve with changing traffic behaviours and growth.
Jim Julson, director of networking at CoreWeave, said: “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.
“With the explosion of demand centred around the infrastructure required to meet these demands, Nokia has proven to be a critical partner.”
Vach Kompella, senior vice president and general manager of IP Networks business at Nokia, added: “As the hyperscaler behind some of the biggest AI enterprises and labs in the world, CoreWeave is at the forefront of innovation in unexplored territory.
“[Our] approach secures lossless and ultra-low latency delivery every single time – regardless of traffic peaks or unexpected events. We are looking forward to deploying Nokia IP and optical platforms in CoreWeave’s backbone as it expands its global network of data centres.”
Innovations and achievements in AI will be highlighted and celebrated at the second annual Robotics & Automation Awards on 06 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
