14 June, 2017
Espoo, Finland and San Francisco - Nokia today unveiled the world's most
powerful internet routing platforms that will ensure modern networks are faster,
safer and dramatically more adaptable. Nokia FP4 silicon provides a generational
performance boost over existing solutions while delivering improved network
security and intelligence.
The "next chapter" of the internet, including immersive communications, Internet
of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence/automation, will again boost
productivity and further transform the way we work and how we live. It will also
place fresh demands on the network. In addition to continued rapid growth in
video traffic driven largely by social networking and content, the upcoming era
will add dimensions of scale, create new security threats, and require more
agility in network operations.
Nokia Bell Labs forecasts IP traffic will more than double in the next five
years, reaching 330 exabytes a month by 2022 while growing at 25 percent
compound annual growth rates. Peak data rates will grow even faster, at nearly
40 percent annually. This surge is a direct result of insatiable consumer and
business demand for services - including high-definition video streaming and,
more recently, virtual reality - combined with the advent of high-speed, low-
latency networks that connect people and things. Nokia Bell Labs expects this
latter market to reach 100 billion connected devices by 2025.
This new set of challenges will require a re-think of the internet
infrastructure. According to Basil Alwan, president of the ION Business Group at
Nokia, "The internet platform is set to fully subsume HD on-demand video while
simultaneously expanding with connectivity to billions of new devices. Stepping
forward demands an immense performance increase, vastly improved insight and
security and, of course, compelling economics. With today's announcement, we are
delivering the technology advances needed to support this evolution. The end
game is all-important: an evolved global nervous system for society and
certainly the most capable, cost-effective, resilient and secure infrastructure
ever built."
World's Most Powerful Routing Platforms
The Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR)-s series provides the industry's highest-
density routing platform that can support a 144 Tb/s configuration in a single
shelf.
In addition, the company introduces a petabit-class router, the new Nokia 7950
Extensible Routing System (XRS)-XC. A leap for Nokia's core router family and
the industry, it is the world's highest-capacity router to date. It scales to
576 Tb/s in a single system through chassis extension, without requiring
separate switching shelves.
The new Nokia platforms are the industry's first capable of delivering terabit
IP flows, a 10x improvement over the existing 100 Gb/s links used to construct
the internet backbone.
A Smarter and More Secure Internet
Nokia has also integrated the optimal blend of capacity and performance with
deep visibility, fine-grained control, telemetry and security into its new FP4-
based routing platforms. This ensures modern networking systems of webscale
companies and service providers can meet data demand, adapt to change, and scale
cost-effectively and securely for the cloud, 5G and IoT.
Enhanced packet intelligence and control technology embedded in the FP4 - when
combined with Nokia's Deepfield IP network analytics solution and comprehensive
SDN portfolio - maximizes efficiency and opportunity while minimizing and
mitigating security threats. This includes DDoS attacks, which impact
productivity and commerce and are growing in number and impact each year.
According to Deloitte Global's TMT predictions, over 10 million attacks are
expected in 2017.
Nokia's FP4 Silicon Innovation
The foundation of these new systems is FP4 silicon, a breakthrough networking
chipset. FP4 features the world's first 2.4 Tb/s network processor - up to 6x
more powerful than processors currently available - opening the door to clear-
channel terabit speeds and petabit-class routers.
This innovation is the result of years of engineering and research and leverages
the latest advances in silicon including 16nm FinFET Plus and multi-dimensional
design. The FP4 design also delivers many architectural innovations, including
novel Nokia-invented intelligent memory, that enhance performance and
efficiency, all while minimizing package size.
Nokia innovation key facts:
* Nokia FP4 is the industry's first 2.4 Tb/s network processor silicon
* Industry-first support for terabit IP flows
* Industry's first petabit-class router with Nokia XRS-XC delivering 576 Tb/s
of capacity
* New Nokia 7750 SR-s platforms provide highest density. The single-shelf
Nokia 7750 SR-14s supports a 144 Tb/s configuration, and can scale up to
288 Tb/s in capacity
* Up to 6x increase in capacity of existing platforms provides investment
protection for broadly deployed systems
* Unique enhanced packet intelligence and control capabilities to provide deep
visibility and fine-grained control, improving quality of experience as well
as asset utilization
Nokia will begin shipping the solution in Q4 2017.
Neil McRae, BT Managing Director and Chief Architect, said: "Every day the
networks we build enable our customers and communities to come together and
share - from the simplest task of booking dinner for family and friends online
to seeing the first picture of your newly born granddaughter. The network has
changed our world in ways we never imagined. At BT, being the best network
that's there for you when you need it is at the core of our purpose. With demand
continuing to rocket, together with more cloud-based applications, innovations
like Nokia's new FP4 silicon and routing platforms allow us to maintain our
commitment to our customers by balancing capacity, intelligence, visibility and
security, so we can transform to an insight-driven, automated networking
approach for building and operating our networks. And because these innovations
also work with existing platforms, we can gracefully evolve our existing
networks to complement new builds to prepare for the next wave of ultrafast
broadband, 5G, IoT and machine communications."
Daniel Melzer, CTO for DE-CIX, said: "As the world's leading internet exchange
operator, DE-CIX values Nokia's multi-terabit FP4 silicon innovation that drives
best-in-class capacity, density and efficiency in 7950 XRS routing platforms.
DE-CIX continues its partnership with Nokia to deploy the world's biggest and
most capable routers at the heart of our exchange. We look forward to being
among the very first to deploy the new systems later this year."
Ray Mota, CEO & principal analyst, ACG Research, said: "Webscale operators are
building bigger networks to connect resources across the globe and bring data
centers closer to users for the highest performance. Nokia has managed to
combine the raw horsepower required to run historic amounts of traffic between
data centers with intelligent, secure and adaptable capabilities necessary for a
cloud-connected environment. The company has seemingly struck the right balance
with silicon and systems innovations that address investment protection and now
has the fastest router on the market."
Michael Howard, senior research director, Carrier Networks, IHS Markit, said:
"Leading network operators everywhere are adopting big data analytics and
software-driven automation to evolve to a modern way of building and operating
IP networks - no question! Operators are looking for a very high-performance
network that provides not just the requisite jacked-up power and capacity, but
they also need intelligence and extensibility to meet their goals of automation
and service agility. Operators will want to examine the new Nokia FP4 silicon
and the systems that use it - as it delivers against this triplet of critical
network capabilities - to support their offered services in this cloud age with
IoT, 5G, and machine communications, where networks must become bigger, more
adaptable and more secure than any we've seen to date."
Frank Ostojic, senior vice president and general manager, ASIC Products
Division, Broadcom, said: "Nokia is setting the pace with their FP4 network
processor. When it comes to the highest levels of integration and use of cutting
edge silicon technologies, including 16nm finFET Plus process technology,
Broadcom's industry-leading embedded SerDes, and advanced packaging, Nokia is
charting a course that others will have to follow."
