19 September, 2016
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has launched an extensive 'everything as a service' -
XaaS - portfolio to enable operators and enterprises to leverage Nokia's global
scale and expertise to meet the demands of the ultra-connected world rapidly and
cost efficiently. The XaaS portfolio will leverage the latest Nokia data center
technology - the Open Compute Project AirFrame Data Center.
Nokia is extending its XaaS offer to deliver a wide range of technologies
including Wi-Fi, fixed and mobile 'as a service' at a time when enterprises
recognize the business opportunity in providing connectivity to attract data-
hungry customers. Cafés, stores and other venues offer Wi-Fi(®) access, and
operators are evolving their networks, but for operators with multiple
technologies, or enterprises not focused on delivering communications services,
network management can present challenges.
Nokia will host technologies, delivering them 'as a service' securely on a
multi-tenancy basis using the Nokia AVA platform. This will allow customers to
turn capital expenditure into operating expenditure while reducing overall
installation, integration and ownership costs by up to 40 percent. With fast
access to the latest technology and Nokia global services expertise, operators
and enterprises will be able to satisfy customers' data demands while staying
focused on their core business.
Through its AirScale 'Wi-Fi Controller as a service' offer Nokia will manage the
enterprise Wi-Fi network. The Nokia Wi-Fi controller will remotely configure,
monitor and manage up to 8,000 outdoor and indoor access points, allowing
support to be scaled as demand grows. Remote validation of access points and
subscribers will ensure secure connectivity.
Nokia is also using its AVA platform to deliver 'Optimization as a service',
allowing operators to access and use proprietary software applications such as
3-D Geolocation, backed by Nokia services expertise, to transform planning and
optimization activities. AVA provides a single unified platform to continuously
collect and store colossal amounts of data, while providing open APIs for
analytics. Operators will have access to unprecedented levels of task automation
and best-in-class analytics software providing them with the flexibility to
select the applications that meet their exact needs.
'SmartData as a service' aims to close the gap between network conditions and
the subscriber experience. Nokia will analyze the statistical performance of
devices on the network and the services and applications they use, in
conjunction with the location of the device and the network conditions at that
time. This data is then used to build reports that allow customers to make
decisions on how to enhance quality and the subscriber perception.
'5520 Access Management System as a service', will allow Nokia to provide a
complete element management system for the Nokia Intelligent Services Access
Manager family of DSL and fiber-based fixed broadband access products.
The XaaS platform will be hosted at Nokia data centers, leveraging the latest
AirFrame Data Center technology - the industry's first telco-grade Open Compute
Project - designed to rapidly meet the hyperscale data demands of enterprises in
the most energy-efficient way. Nokia will also host the platform at in-country
facilities, in line with local regulatory requirements.
Alexander Hayward, Euro information Telecom CTO said: "Co-creation is key in
this type of service allowing us to tune the solution to our needs in a couple
of weeks. Smart Data as a Service provides anyone in EIT from marketers to
business analysts and network engineers an easy access to a common set of radio
and core data to analytically focus on our core business added values; Marketing
Campaigns, Network Operations and Subscriber Experience."
Igor Leprince, head of Global Services at Nokia, said: "With the number of
connected applications growing rapidly, XaaS models are vital to quickly bring
expertise to a wide range of businesses. The extensive Nokia XaaS portfolio will
allow operators and enterprises to tap our global scale and experience and
capitalize on operational efficiencies while rapidly meeting subscriber demands
with the quality they expect in today's connected world."
