Nokia has announced it is providing its 7220 IXR data centre hardware platforms running SR Linux to DCspine, a subsidiary of Eurofibre Cloud Infra providing digital infrastructure and interconnection services across data centres in Europe.
This solution will expand DCspine’s interconnection and cloud services, increase network scalability and enhance network operations through automation.
DCspine will implement the 7220 IXR and SR Linux as part of its interconnection platform that provides connectivity between a growing number of 80+ data centres in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
To support the implementation, DCspine and Nokia have developed a custom network agent for easy integration into the existing network environment by leveraging the open, consumable nature of SR Linux and its NetOps Development Kit (NDK).
The model-driven architecture and open interfaces of SR Linux will also enable DCspine to automate service provisioning, gain deeper network visibility for service monitoring and enable faster delivery of interconnection and cloud services to its customers.
“We selected Nokia because its solution will enable us to provide our customers with the very best interconnection services,” said David Jansen, Network Operations Manager at Eurofibre Cloud Infra. “The DCspine platform connects more than 80 data centres across Europe, providing customers with a wide variety of connected services, applications and locations.
“Our DC-interconnection platform gives customers 24/7 access to their applications, data and workloads, enabling them to create flexible, scalable and reliable ICT infrastructure easily and cost-effectively.”
