Maxis is pushing for enhanced connectivity and scalability with the deployment of Nokia’s data centre switches and Event-Driven Automation (EDA) platform.
The deployment will support the Malaysia-based integrated telecommunications provider’s business growth by providing a scalable, secure, and efficient data centre architecture.
The modernisation of Maxis’ data centre connectivity technology will help the company simplify network operations, solve issues faster and automate workloads, all on a robust and secure infrastructure.
Nokia will deploy its 7220 Interconnect Router (IXR) data centre switches and EDA technology across multiple Maxis data centres. This upgrade will enable Maxis to provision infrastructure resources without delay, reduce complexity and ensure secure applications running in the network can scale gracefully.
“This expansion of our longstanding collaboration with Nokia will drive next-generation connectivity in anticipation of customers’ growing needs. It reflects Malaysia’s emergence as a hub for data centers and hyperscalers, in line with greater adoption of AI-enabled cloud infrastructure,” said Goh Seow Eng, CEO at Maxis.
Ming Kin Ngiam, head of Southeast Asia South for Network Infrastructure at Nokia, said data centre networks are critical infrastructure and need to be extremely reliable while also being simple to deploy and operate.
Nokia is helping cloud builders worldwide to build modern data centre networks that are highly reliable, secure and easy to operate – which is essential to meet the growing demands of AI workloads globally.
