Nokia to deploy IP and optical gear to support SCinet at SC 2023

Nokia will deploy its IP and optical networking gear to support SCinet - the high-performance network built annually by industry volunteers to support the research, technologies and demos at the SC 2023 conference from November 12-17 in Denver, Colorado.

"We are excited to be part of SC 2023, the world's most important supercomputing event, and contribute our high-performance portfolio to SCinet, the world's fastest, most powerful and advanced live network. Our IP routing and optical transport equipment provides the capacity, resiliency, security and flexibility that this community requires to conduct projects and collaborate on a global scale - especially as the data sets involved grow ever larger and security remains a paramount concern," said Vach Kompella, Head of Nokia's IP business.

Nokia's next-gen high-performance networking portfolio is part of the SCinet multi-vendor live network that supports some of the world's most ambitious scientific research projects on display at the SC 2023 conference.

As part of the network, Nokia's 1830 Photonic Services Interconnect (PSI-M) compact modular optical transport platform will deliver 1.6Tbps of capacity to support the distribution of live customer traffic on the SC23 show floor, the Finnish firm said on Thursday.

Additionally, the Nokia 7750 SR-1x FP5-based routers will provide Layer 3 network services and border router capabilities with port speeds ranging from 10GE to 800GE, and a system capacity of 6.0Tbps full duplex.

Further, the Nokia Data Center Fabric solution will provide Layer 2 access to exhibitor booths.
