Nokia to deploy 800GE links showcasing supercomputing network at SC 2023

Nov. 9, 2023
The company will supply its IP and optical gear to support 800GE port speeds and optical transport capacity of 1.6Tbps to support onsite needs and network peering.

Nokia is participating in the SC 2023 conference from November 12-17 in Denver, Colorado, deploying 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 show.

The vendor’s next-generation high-performance networking portfolio is part of the SCinet live network, a multi-vendor network created to support some of the world’s most ambitious scientific research projects on display at the show. During SC 2022, network capacity hit 5.01Tbps and is expected to hit 6.71Tbps at the 2023 event.

As part of the network, the Nokia 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. 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. The Nokia Data Center Fabric solution, consisting of 7220 IXR data center switches running on SR Linux, an open, extensible, and programmable NOS, will provide Layer 2 access to exhibitor booths.

Nokia’s experts will also hold Flash sessions in Booth #2195, where Nokia experts will share their insights into some of the hottest topics research community topics, including:
