Nokia deploys SR Linux and data centre switches for everyWAN for service expansion

Nokia has announced it is providing its SR Linux Network Operating System ( NOS ) and 7220 IXR data centre switches to everyWAN , the Spanish operator that provides national and international IP transit and interconnection services between major data centres and Internet peering points in Europe . The solution will enable everyWAN to expand its services and data centre operations by improving network scalability , while helping operations objectives with more granular network visibility and NetOps automation .

The solution augments the IP transit , interconnection and data centre gateway solution based on Nokia 7750 Service Routers ( 7750 SR ) that everyWAN has deployed in its international backbone network since December 2020 . Since this deployment , everyWAN customers have enjoyed increased service resiliency and reliability compared to the previous solution . In addition , customers enjoy a
wider range of new service offerings as part of the everyWAN portfolio .
EveryWAN offers its customers an ecosystem of premium ‘ pay-as-you-go ’ services . The Nokia solution has enabled the everyWAN network to scale to handle a huge growth in traffic driven by the convergence of communications and IT .
In addition , the solution enables everyWAN to offer its customers the best interconnection and IP transit services to all major European destinations , cloud providers and Internet exchange providers by selecting the best routes based on lowest latency , jitter , speed fluctuation and packet loss .
Pau Nadeu , CTO for everyWAN , said : “ We selected Nokia because of its brand name in service provider networks , the wide range of services its solutions enable us to offer and its market leading reputation for the robustness of its solutions . Our
customers demand the very best IP transit , interconnection and data centre services . The benefits of the Nokia solution are evident by the significant reduction in the number of network incidents compared to our previous network . We have had no outages since deploying the Nokia solution and this has improved the perception of everyWAN ’ s services by our customers .”
Manuel Ortiz Fernandez , Senior Vice President of EMEA Webscale Business at Nokia , said : “ We are pleased that everyWAN selected Nokia to increase the capacity of its network and help improve the reliability and breadth of its services . Since the Nokia equipment was installed , traffic on the network has increased three times and everyWAN is able to offer its customers links at speeds up to 100 Gb / sec . With the addition of the Nokia SR Linux and the 7220 IXR leaf-spine switches , it now has a network designed with the scale , capacity and resiliency required for the future .” ◊
