This capability represents a significant shift for i4Networks, moving beyond transparent IP\/MPLS connections. By extending this agility to the optical layer, the company can now offer the same level of on-demand service activation at higher capacities and with greater security, addressing the fast-growing needs of cloud providers, AI workloads, media services, and financial trading platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging the Nokia 1830 PSS-8 and 1830 PSI-M optical platforms, the new network delivers faster and more reliable interconnection between data centers while giving i4Networks customers the ability to easily scale capacity to 100G or 400G as demand surges, while built-in resilience automatically reroutes traffic in the event of fiber cuts or other disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith Nokia\u2019s solutions, i4Networks\u2019 SDWS optical service gives our customers unprecedented flexible ways at deploying optical connectivity between data centers in the Netherlands at a fraction of the cost of the current solutions,\u201d said Dirk Pol, CEO of i4Networks. \u201cWhat once required complex engineering and long lead times can now be done in days, opening new possibilities for resellers, internet exchanges, and cloud providers to deliver secure optical services when and where required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis deployment with i4Networks demonstrates the power of Nokia\u2019s optical solutions to deliver secure data center interconnection services,\u201d said Mark Vanderhaegen, Head of Business Development, Data Center Networks at Nokia. \u201cBy using the latest generation of ROADM technology, we can dynamically add, drop, or redirect individual wavelengths of light in the network without disrupting other traffic, enabling automated service activation at the optical layer. We are helping our customers to reduce operational complexity, accelerate new service rollouts, and strengthen Europe\u2019s digital backbone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nokia has announced that i4Networks has deployed its optical solutions to deliver next-generation optical DCI services across the Netherlands and abroad.
