Elisa and Wind River Deploy Fully Automated Data Center on 5G Edge

Finland’s Elisa Oyj has deployed its first fully automated edge data center site, which is the second edge site to go into commercial production this year. According to the official release, this project combines Wind River Studio Cloud Platform as the production-grade distributed Kubernetes solution for managing cloud infrastructure, User Plane Function (UPF) application from Elisa’s current 5G core vendor, and the capabilities of Wind River Studio Conductor, a platform that delivers a single pane of glass to manage and automate applications deployment in large-scale distributed environments.

Advancing Edge Computing with Automation

Elisa and Wind River aim to harness the benefits of edge computing and network automation to benefit customers. Earlier this year, in February 2023, Elisa said that the two companies deployed Europe’s first distributed edge cloud solution within a public 5G network. Now, the fully automated data centre represents a leap forward, optimizing the quality of 5G services by streamlining data processing at the edge of the network.

Elisa stated that the potential applications of edge computing and automation include the interest of diverse industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and telecommunications, both within Finland and across the globe.
