Representative Image<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Finnish telecoms gear maker said it will supply its data center<\/a> switching solutions to Microsoft<\/a> under an expanded partnership to support the bandwidth growth to Microsoft Azure<\/a>.

“The deal expands the long-standing relationship between the companies, who have been working together to bring massively scaled, agile and highly resilient networking to the
data center<\/a> environment,” the companies said in a media release.

With the significant growth of cloud services and cloud computing and the move to 400GE,
Nokia<\/a> has been selected to supply its 7250 IXR chassis-based interconnect routers to support high-density 400GE applications in Microsoft<\/a>’s ‘tier-2’ network architecture.

Nokia<\/a> will also be supplying fixed-form-factor platforms to other Microsoft network applications.

This new agreement builds upon the companies’ collaboration as part of the open source SONiC initiative to develop chassis-based platforms focused on the requirements of high-capacity data centers.

Nokia said its platforms support port speeds up to 400GE, with a path to 800GE, along with comprehensive IP and
Ethernet<\/a> feature sets.

“...we have a strong relationship with the service providers, and we look to sell through our service providers to enable them to sell connectivity and private wireless type solutions. But equally, if there are customers out there who want to develop that directly, will also engage directly where it makes sense,” Ricky Corker, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Nokia told ET in an exclusive interaction.<\/p><\/div>
