28 February 2025Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced a
significant upgrade to the data center infrastructure of Maxis,
Malaysia’s leading integrated telecommunications provider, aimed at
enhancing connectivity and scalability with Nokia’s data center
switches and Event-Driven Automation (EDA) platform. The deployment
will support Maxis's business growth by providing a scalable,
secure, and efficient data center architecture.
The modernization of Maxis’ data center 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 cutting-edge 7220 Interconnect Router
(IXR) data center switches and EDA technology across multiple Maxis
data centers. 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. This initiative will enhance our
network capabilities, ensuring we are able to continue providing
best-in-class connectivity-adjacent solutions powered by fast,
secure and reliable connectivity,” said Goh Seow Eng, Chief
Executive Officer at Maxis.
“Data center networks are critical infrastructure and need to be
extremely reliable while also being simple to deploy and operate.
We are pleased to work with Maxis to modernize their data center
infrastructure with our advanced data center switches and EDA
technology to provide Maxis with a future-proof architecture that
is scalable, resilient, and easy to deploy. This collaboration is a
testament to the strength of our technology and our commitment to
supporting our customer’s growth in the booming data center market
in Southeast Asia,” added Ming Kin Ngiam, Head of Southeast Asia
South for Network Infrastructure at Nokia.
Nokia is helping cloud builders worldwide to build modern data
center networks that are highly reliable, secure and easy to
operate – which is essential to meet the growing demands of AI
workloads globally. Nokia’s EDA ensures faster response times,
reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, consumes less compute
resources and handles network-wide operations at scale with
consistent performance. By proactively resolving issues, it boosts
reliability and reduces operational costs.
The Nokia 7220 IXR, a key component of Nokia’s Data Center
Fabric solution, provides fixed-configuration, high-capacity
platforms that offers unmatched scale, flexibility and operational
simplicity to data center and cloud environments. These scalable
next-generation platforms are designed to meet the high
connectivity and density demands of webscale companies, service
providers and enterprises.
