Nokia has launched the Aurelis solution for Data Centers, utilizing PON technology to improve out-of-band management (OOBM) efficiency. The system reduces the number of active switches by up to 90%, lowers power consumption by more than 50%, and simplifies operational processes by 80%.

Key components include the Aurelis MF-2 Optical Switch, which connects thousands of devices, Aurelis Optical Modems for Ethernet conversion, and the Aurelis Command Center for management and automation. The platform supports zero-touch provisioning and AI-driven troubleshooting to reduce manual workloads. Aurelis is already deployed in over 700 enterprise networks, reflecting a shift towards fiber-based architectures in data center operations.
