Adaptive Cloud Networking
Revolutionize network operations of telco cloud
The emerging AI, cloud-native and 5G eras are placing tremendous demands on service providers’ network clouds to be more scalable, higher performing and operationally more efficient to meet the demands of next-generation enterprise and consumer services. In addition, the emergence of edge clouds and their network management and automation requirements need to be addressed.
Nokia’s Adaptive Cloud Networking gives you the advanced tools and capabilities you need to transform your telco cloud network infrastructure to respond to these unpredictable demands. A cloud-native IP solution, Adaptive Cloud Networking supercharges the data center fabric and seamlessly extends operations to the edge clouds. It also allows you to transform your cloud networks into a consumable, agile and automated whole to help you capitalize on the AI and 5G growth opportunity.
Elements of Adaptive Cloud Networking
Edge clouds
- Cost effective infrastructure with small
footprint - Efficient management and automation
IP/MPLS WAN
- Carry application data seamlessly across
the WAN - Maintain strict SLAs for application traffic
Data center fabrics
- Increase scale, capacity and performance
- Improve operational efficiency with NetOps automation tools
Benefits and features
The following matrix summarizes the essential benefits that Adaptive Cloud Networking brings to your data center fabric and cloud edges.
Consumable

Industry recognition
NetOps-based automation tools
Cloud-native implementations are driving the development of increasingly agile and dynamic applications. To adjust to these new demands, modern data center fabrics need to provide more visibility, greater responsiveness, elastic scale, and higher performance.
Our Adaptive Cloud Networking solution offers a complete set of NetOps-based automation capabilities to satisfy these demands. By Leveraging NetOps principles, the solution revolutionizes your operations by automating all phases of data center fabric operations – from Day 0 design through Day 1 deployment and Day 2+ operations. In addition, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment principles can be programmed to gracefully implement network changes while constantly monitoring the network for anomalies.
Equipped with these capabilities, your data center operations team will be able to simplify operational tasks, increase productivity, improve troubleshooting, and reduce human errors to deliver a more consistent and valuable service.
Automating the edge cloud
The network edge is critical for delivering the low-latency connectivity and high bandwidth required by emerging 5G enterprise services. With the explosive growth of edge clouds, service providers need new operational tools and capabilities to manage them effectively. Edge locations are space- and cost-constrained, yet need automation to operationalize massive scale and meet strict SLA requirements.
Our Event-Driven Automation (EDA) platform built within Kubernetes gives you all the tools you need to manage and automate the network edge. It provides declarative, event-driven network automation and is suited for the space and CPU requirements of small edge sites.
Seamless WAN interconnectivity
In many cases, application traffic must traverse various geographically diverse parts of the network to reach its destination. In some cases, these connections are statically provisioned, but this approach is rigid, operationally expensive, and does not scale. This inter-connectivity across the WAN must be automated.
Adaptive Cloud Networking solves this problem by leveraging intent-based automation across the entire network from the edge cloud to the data center fabric with EDA, and across the WAN with the Network Services Platform . The end result is seamless end-to-end connectivity that maintains SLAs.
