iWay taps Nokia and Kyndryl to modernize and automate data centre infrastructure
Nokia and Kyndryl, a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise
technology services, announced that Swiss telecommunications provider iWay has selected Nokia's Data Centre Fabric
(DCF) solution and Event-Driven Automation (EDA) platform, combined with
Kyndryl's end-to-end network management services, to transform and modernize
its data center operations.
The agreement leverages the strengths of
Nokia and Kyndryl's partnership by tapping Nokia's enterprise datacentre
capabilities focused on delivering open, reliable and easy-to-operate network
solutions that meet evolving digital infrastructure needs, and Kyndryl's
ability to build and run agile, future-ready IT infrastructure equipped to
manage risks and capable of integrating advanced technologies.
"Replacing
our previous solution with Nokia's data centre fabric and Kyndryl's network
deployment services has allowed us to fully automate our environment, roll out
new features with ease, and reduce human error," said Matthias Cramer, CTO
of iWay. "The EDA platform gives us the simplicity and flexibility we were
looking for, while both Nokia and Kyndryl work as trusted technology providers
to deliver the reliability and technical expertise needed to deliver a smooth
and secure network modernization."
"The
combination of Nokia's data center fabric solutions with Kyndryl's end-to-end
network services and consulting expertise is helping iWay modernize their data
centers with confidence – strengthening their security, supporting regulatory
compliance, and laying the foundation for long-term scalability and
growth," said Paul Savill, Kyndryl Global Network and Edge Computing
Practice Leader. "Together with Nokia, we are enabling telecommunications
providers like iWay to evolve their IT infrastructures to meet growing data
demands by seamlessly integrating new technologies into existing environments
with minimal risk."
"As network operators worldwide prepare
to expand their data centers, iWay is already ahead – modernizing its network
infrastructure with more reliable, streamlined, and automated
capabilities," said David Heard, President of Network Infrastructure at Nokia. "This is a
solid win for our European data center business and a testament to our
strategic collaboration with Kyndryl, driving infrastructure modernization. As
a European company with global reach, Nokia is uniquely positioned to offer
scalable, secure, and efficient data center operations – today and in the
future."
As
surging demand for data sovereignty becomes a top priority, enterprises are
turning to modern, automated data centers. According to Kyndryl's
Readiness Report, 84% of telecom leaders believe AI
will be essential to achieving their strategic objectives over the next three
years, while 79% of senior technology leaders across industries say they are
under pressure to modernize their infrastructure to support AI initiatives.
