Strategic Upgrade for Future Growth
NIC.br, responsible for managing .br domains and operating the Brazilian Internet Exchange (IX.br), will replace part of its existing technology with Nokia's IP routing solutions, including the 7250 Interconnect Router (IXR) and the 7750 Service Router (SR). These routers support EVPN services and 400/800G interfaces, enabling enhanced scalability, automation, and network resiliency.
EVPN Technology
EVPN is a VPN solution that provides a unified architecture, in both the control and data planes, and supports a broad range of carrier and business VPN services and network infrastructures.
Infrastructure Manager at NIC.br said, "By upgrading our network infrastructure with Nokia's routing platforms, we will be able to provide faster and more reliable internet connectivity for our customers and partners, as well as foster the development of new applications and services that will benefit the entire Brazilian society."
