Kyndryl is extending its relationship with Nokia and expanding its menu of integration services by including more of Nokia’s data center networking products. Nokia’s portfolio includes data center switching for traditional enterprise and AI workloads, a data center gateway to link to cloud services, and optical data center interconnect products.

As part of the expanded partnership, Nokia’s Event-Driven Automation (EDA) technology will be integrated into Kyndryl’s AI-powered Bridge infrastructure integration platform. Nokia EDA is an infrastructure automation platform that offers network provisioning, configuration, optimization and troubleshooting features. Kyndryl Bridge services combine management, observability, and automation tools while using AI and machine learning to analyze the aggregated data and provide IT operations teams with the intelligence they need to keep systems running at peak performance, according to Kyndryl.

In addition, Nokia is developing quantum-safe technology for both IP and optical networks to ensure secure data transmission between data centers.
