Nokia is one of the world’s most storied telecommunications companies, and it’s taking on a new mission centered around AI. That strategy consists of rearchitecting its networks with enhanced AI integration — directly into wireless networks, at the edge, and between data centers.

As Nokia explained in a new case study about its success with Vultr, to get these new solutions in front of customers, Nokia hosts virtual workshops that include a lab for hands-on application. To power them, Nokia needs a flexible, affordable cloud provider with quick instantiation to support several dozen users simultaneously.

Vultr Bare Metal is the solution. Nokia uses AMD EPYC 9354P on Vultr to run workloads like containerlab, Visual Studio Code Server, and multiple containerized network operating systems, spinning up full network environments. They’ve seen exceptional performance advantages and cost savings as a result.

Independently, Nokia also capitalizes on Vultr for a new solution developed by its APAC Customer Engineering team. That solution enables Internet Service Providers to connect public cloud workloads to their branch locations, enhanced with optimal network paths.

Chosen for low egress costs (eight to nine times lower than AWS), global footprint including extensive APAC presence, cost-efficiency, and consistent performance, Vultr infrastructure powers that configuration. Intel servers on Vultr Bare Metal are the backbone, meeting Nokia’s requirements for seamless multicloud integration and direct control, free of mediation software.

Nokia is evidence of Vultr’s wide-ranging cloud solutions benefitting both AI-related and general advanced computing workloads. Get access to the case study and dive deeper into Nokia’s Vultr story.
