Nokia will provide an advanced IP network solution to support AI workloads at Nscale’s new sustainable data center in Stavanger, Norway. Nscale, a hyperscaler specializing in AI, chose Nokia’s Ethernet-based data center fabric to ensure high-performance, low-latency, and scalable connectivity. The facility operates entirely on renewable energy and features energy-efficient adiabatic cooling, setting a new benchmark for sustainable high-performance computing.
The network will enable Nscale to support the growing global demand for AI-driven applications, which require intensive data processing. The Nokia solution is optimized for large-scale Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) clusters, which Nscale offers through its GPU as a Service (GPUaaS) model. With Nokia’s 7220 IXR and 7750 SR platforms, the infrastructure is designed for ultra-reliability, seamless automation, and flexibility to handle rigorous AI workloads across industries like healthcare, finance, government, and education.
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.” Paul Alexander, Vice President at Nokia, added, “By combining advanced Ethernet technology with sustainability, we are helping Nscale deliver world-class AI services while supporting its commitment to environmental responsibility.”
