* Nokia will support service providers in their migration to AWS with a
complete suite of services

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web
Services, Inc. (AWS) that will accelerate the migration of service provider
applications to the cloud and drive digital innovation for large enterprise
customers.
On their journey to achieve the performance and flexibility brought by cloud
technologies, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Enterprises need
solutions to address the connectivity needs of cloud-based applications such as
optimizing latency, virtualized network and routing services, and solutions for
the Internet of Things (IoT). Nokia and AWS are working together to bring a
unique and powerful set of solutions that will enable service providers to
implement cloud strategies faster leveraging Nokia's expertise in wireless,
wireline and 5G technologies. Large enterprises require fully managed
connectivity to access cloud infrastructure, and fully integrated IoT and
analytics solutions to enhance their productivity and ease of digitalization.
The two companies will work to deliver differentiated solutions using Nokia SD-
WAN and its IMPACT IoT platform in combination with AWS Greengrass, machine
learning and artificial intelligence services.
The scope of the agreement announced today covers four areas of collaboration:
* Nokia will support service providers in their AWS implementation strategy
with a complete suite of services including consulting, design, integration,
migration and operation for infrastructure and applications.
* Nokia and AWS will work together to generate new 5G and Edge Cloud
strategies and guidance for customers including reference architectures that
enable both service providers and enterprises to benefit.
* Nokia and AWS are working to bring an improved user experience for Nuage
Networks SD-WAN customers who use AWS. Enterprises can benefit from this
seamless integration with AWS and launch secure branch connectivity in
hybrid environments with "Single Pane of Glass" capabilities.
* Finally, the companies are commercializing IoT use cases with AWS
Greengrass, Amazon Machine Learning, Nokia Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC)
and Nokia IMPACT platform.
Kathrin Buvac, Nokia's Chief Strategy Officer, said: "The 4th Industrial
Revolution requires a tighter integration between the IT and networking
infrastructure worlds. Our collaboration with AWS will accelerate the migration
of service provider applications to the cloud and enable us to forge new
opportunities together by delivering on next-generation connectivity and cloud
services. This is a wide-ranging collaboration, spanning our services
capabilities in application migration, SD-WAN from Nuage Networks, 5G, and IoT,
allowing new growth opportunities for our top customers across both the service
provider and large enterprise market segments."
Terry Wise, Global Vice President of Channels and Alliances, Amazon Web
Services, Inc., said: "Service providers are accelerating their migration to AWS
in order to drive innovation for their customers and deliver lower total cost of
IT to their organizations. We are excited to partner with Nokia to accelerate
cloud transformation for service providers, and enable the digital
transformation journey for our mutual large enterprise customers."
