SUPPORTING THE AI SUPER-CYCLE
Vach Kompella, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Nokia’ s IP Networks Division, emphasised the scale of transformation underway:“ The astonishing growth in AI adoption has led to a dramatic overhaul in how data centres operate, and is driving constant evolution in hardware and operational tools.
“ We are pleased to announce our new family of high-performance 7220 IXR-H6 switches along with advances in our EDA platform, which now leverages the sophistication of agentic AI to drive highly reliable network operations at the speed required to keep up with the pace of change.”
According to Vach, this represents“ one of many milestones for Nokia’ s data centre networking portfolio, and we look forward to bringing even more technology innovation to our global customer base to support the AI super-cycle”.
As AI models continue to grow in size and complexity, the ability to maintain ultra-low latency connectivity will define the next generation of data centre infrastructure. Every layer – from fibre routing and switching to automation and software orchestration – must operate with millisecond precision to support synchronous, large-scale AI workloads.
Nokia’ s new switches and automation tools are designed not only to handle this complexity but to make it manageable, predictable and energy efficient. The combination of 1.6 TE interface speeds, open NOS options and intelligent AIOps aligns with the demands of the AI super-cycle, where speed, scale and sustainability must coexist.
By blending innovation in both hardware and AI-driven software, Nokia is positioning itself as a key enabler of the low latency networks that underpin global AI growth. Its technology helps data centres move beyond conventional architectures toward intelligent, adaptive environments built for the future of AI.
As the boundaries of data processing and model training expand, low latency infrastructure will remain at the heart of high-performance computing. Nokia’ s latest developments mark an important step forward, setting a new benchmark for how speed, scalability and intelligence can come together to power the next era of AI-driven digital infrastructure.
