Insights
The expanded partnership between Kyndryl and Nokia represents a significant strategic move in the enterprise data center networking space. The integration combines Nokia's Event-Driven Automation technology with Kyndryl Bridge, creating an AI-powered automation solution that addresses the growing demands of modern workloads including AI, ML and VR applications.
The technical synergy focuses on three critical areas:
- Advanced network automation using machine learning
- Enhanced security features including quantum-safe networking
- Scalable data center fabric solutions
While this partnership shows promise in addressing enterprise needs for modernization, the immediate revenue impact may be gradual as enterprise adoption cycles for such infrastructure upgrades typically span multiple quarters. The integration of Kyndryl Bridge with Nokia's EDA platform could provide a competitive edge in the rapidly growing data center market, particularly as AI workloads continue to drive demand for high-performance networking solutions.
This partnership expansion positions both companies to capitalize on significant market opportunities. The enterprise data center market is experiencing robust growth, driven by several factors:
- Increasing adoption of hybrid cloud environments
- Rising demand for AI and high-performance computing
- Growing regulatory requirements like EU's DORA
For Kyndryl, this partnership enhances its service portfolio with Nokia's proven networking technology, potentially increasing its competitive position in the managed infrastructure services market. The focus on AI-driven automation and security aligns with current enterprise priorities and could drive new revenue streams. However, the financial impact will likely materialize over the medium term as enterprise customers evaluate and implement these solutions.
Expansion of partnership solutions aimed at enterprise IT data center growth and modernization to support strategic digital transformation initiatives
By combining Kyndryl's enterprise knowledge and experience in designing, building and managing hybrid cloud and data center environments with Nokia's high-performance, reliable data center networking infrastructure solution with embedded security capabilities, the partners will deliver many benefits to enterprise customers looking to modernize and expand their data center networks.
The enterprise data center market is rapidly growing and capital investment in data center networks is forecast to accelerate due to rising demand for cloud networking. Customers also need to store an increasing volume of data, highlighting the urgent need for robust, scalable and secure data center network solutions.
"As enterprises face increasing workloads due to hybrid IT environments, AI adoption and high-performance computing, the demand for highly reliable, low-latency and secure connectivity has never been greater," said Paul Savill, Kyndryl Global Network and Edge Computing Practice Leader. "Our expanded portfolio of solutions with Nokia underscores the critical role that robust data center network infrastructure plays in driving IT modernization. From leveraging AI-driven network automation to extending capabilities at the edge, our comprehensive, end-to-end network services empower enterprises to mitigate future risks, meet regulatory requirements and accelerate their technology transformation journey."
To support the expanded solutions, Kyndryl intends to integrate Nokia's Event-Driven Automation (EDA) technology — an infrastructure automation platform that harnesses real-time data and machine learning to enable full automation of data center networks – with Kyndryl Bridge, an AI-powered, open-integration digital business platform that enables customers to observe and orchestrate their entire technology environment, and for network automation management.
Federico Guillén, President of Nokia Network Infrastructure, said: "As businesses use AI to transform themselves, they need fast, secure and easy-to-use data center networks. That's what Nokia and Kyndryl are offering together. By combining Kyndryl's IT expertise with Nokia's advanced, open and secure network technology, we're jointly creating solutions businesses can trust. This partnership makes it easier than ever for companies to modernize their data centers and stay ahead in the AI world."
Reliable, trusted partners are needed to support large enterprises that are managing their own data centers and aiming to modernize or expand to support evolving workloads driven by technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and virtual reality (VR). The enhanced IT infrastructure will also fortify enterprise resilience against cyberattacks and support compliance with regulatory frameworks such as the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
Kyndryl's expertise in end-to-end network management and consulting services, combined with Nokia's proven track record in deploying large-scale networks for service providers, webscalers and enterprises, creates a formidable combination to meet growing demands for high-performance data center workloads. In addition, Kyndryl will deploy Nokia's industry leading IP routing products within its data center network.
Kyndryl's network portfolio, which includes software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), private 5G networks, edge computing and cloud networking hyperscaler services, is augmented by the addition of Nokia's data center networking solutions. Nokia's data center fabric, and multi-layer security solutions (IP/Optical) and data center interconnect secured by quantum-safe networking (QSN) also complement Kyndryl's data center networking services.
