Telenor Group strengthens and expands its strategic collaboration
with AWS to support its sovereign cloud posture
(Copenhagen – TM Forum DTW Ignite – June 18, 2024):
Telenor Group today announced it will expand its collaboration with
Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance its sovereign cloud posture by
using AWS’s sovereign-by-design technology, and leveraging
Telenor’s strategic investment in Skygard. Currently under
construction, Skygard is state-of-the-art secure and energy
efficient data centres that Telenor is building with its partners
in Norway.
In the first year of extended collaboration, Telenor will invest
approx. 100M NOK in its sovereign cloud posture by using AWS and
Skygard’s state-of-the-art data centre. Telenor and AWS will
collaborate to offer solutions to Norwegian enterprise customers,
help to address their key sovereignty and security requirements.
Telenor will explore leveraging the same sovereign-by-design AWS
infrastructure to host its internal workloads in compliance with
Norwegian regulatory requirements.
As the only truly Nordic telco, Telenor will accelerate the
modernisation of telecommunications industry, by further scaling
its cloud footprint in Telenor Sweden, using advanced and secure
cloud technologies from AWS. Telenor will also expand the
collaboration to Finland. The modernisation program would transform
current IT and technology infrastructure and data centre costs,
while improving customer experience, through better performance,
faster time-to-market – all whilst meeting the highest security
standards.
"Telenor is strengthening its collaboration with AWS to power
our next wave of growth and innovation," said Amol Phadke, EVP and
Group Chief Technology Officer of Telenor. "Building on our
sovereign cloud posture, Telenor will unlock new opportunities to
drive value for our customers and wider society."
