On Demand Webinar
Nokia, one of the world’s most recognizable brands, is committed to innovation and technology leadership across mobile, fixed and cloud networks.
A prime example of this is the private cloud - Nokia Enterprise and Services cloud (NESC). Over the years, the NESC has grown from a few servers to a platform holding over ten thousand servers across three continents. It has evolved from a basic IaaS, to adding Kubernetes, to an extensive platform that provides a range of services to stakeholders within the company, including a DBaaS supported by Percona.
In this fireside chat, Janne Heino, Head of NESC Architecture at Nokia and leader of Nokia Private Cloud development, will join Kirsten Foon, Director of Growth Marketing at Percona, to discuss the evolution of the Nokia Private Cloud:
A little over ten years ago, Janne promised his manager that he would fail fast and hopefully learn something while doing it. That was the beginning of the Nokia private cloud development that has led from the humble beginnings of a couple of servers to the current platform that holds over ten thousand servers on three continents. He has been leading the development of the platform and ensuring both cost and customer expectations are met. During that time, the platform has evolved from basic IaaS adding Kubernetes to now offering a broader service catalogue as well; where the first of these new services offered have been DBaaS with Percona.
Janne Heino has a Master of Technology in Aalto technical university, been married for over 25 years with two grown kids. His favourite saying is “Better to make one wrong decision than three meetings”
“Because of the size and complexity of our infrastructure, I was growing increasingly concerned about the future reliability and stability of our database. To eliminate problems before they occur, we decided to take advantage of Percona's extraordinary level of MySQL expertise. Percona also provides a better service and better SLA at a lower cost than our current contract, while also eliminating vendor lock-in.”
