Nokia building IP network to support AI workloads at Nscale’s new sustainable data centre

Network will support growing global demand for AI-driven applications, which consume massive amounts of data.

Nokia has been selected by Nscale, the hyperscaler engineered for AI, to deliver an IP network solution to support AI workloads at Nscale’s new data center in Stavanger, Norway. The data center, which is powered entirely by renewable energy and optimised for energy-efficient cooling, will enable cutting-edge AI services, including Graphics Processing Unit as a Service (GPUaaS), a technology which Nscale is a global leader in.

With a growing global demand for AI-driven applications that consume a large amount of data, Nscale required a reliable, high-performance network to support training and inferencing on large-scale GPU clusters. Nokia’s Ethernet-based data center fabric provides scalability, programmability, and low-latency performance - essential for handling the rigorous demands of AI workloads across industries including education, healthcare, government and finance.

David Power, CTO at Nscale, said: “Our mission is to redefine the boundaries of AI and High-Performance Computing through innovative, sustainable solutions. Nokia’s data center fabric enables us to scale our GPU clusters while maintaining the reliability and performance needed to serve our customers with cutting-edge AI services. The flexibility of Nokia’s solution ensures we can bring advanced AI capabilities to market faster.”

Paul Alexander, Vice President and Country General Manager UK&I at Nokia, said: “As a hyperscaler, Nscale is already delivering turnkey AI development and deployment solutions to businesses worldwide. With support from Nokia, the path to accessible and transformative AI innovation has never been easier. By combining advanced Ethernet technology with sustainability, we are helping Nscale deliver world-class AI services while supporting its commitment to renewable energy and environmental responsibility.”

The solution, based on Nokia’s 7220 IXR and 7750 SR platforms, is designed with the most modern, open, and programmable architectures to ensure ultra-reliability, seamless automation and adaptability.
