Nokia has been selected by Hetzner, a leading European hosting provider, to upgrade its data center and core network infrastructure. With growing demand for high-performance hosting services, this deployment enables Hetzner to scale efficiently, improve automation, and maintain industry-leading uptime, ensuring seamless digital experiences for businesses and end users.

By deploying Nokia’s carrier-grade routing solutions, Hetzner is optimizing its network with ultra-reliable, high-performance connectivity while reducing operational complexity. The deployment, now live in Germany and Finland, will expand across Europe to meet increasing digital infrastructure demands. Nokia’s energy-efficient routers, combined with advanced automation and real-time telemetry, provide Hetzner with the visibility and resilience needed to support next-generation workloads.

“Through close collaboration with Nokia, we have been able to integrate new technology effectively into our system. This has ensured we remain flexible and agile whilst improving our data centers to meet our customer's needs. Whether it is higher bandwidth, improved network availability, or optimized energy efficiency — we always find the best solutions by working with Nokia and further receive the responsive support we have grown to rely on,” said Martin Fritzsche, Head of Network at Hetzner.

“Empowering one of Europe’s largest hosting providers with state-of-the-art reliability and performance is key to driving the next generation of digital services. With our leading routing technology, Hetzner gains the scalability, automation, and energy efficiency needed to meet growing demands while optimizing operational efficiency. This deployment shows our shared commitment to innovation, resilience, and sustainability in data center networking,” said Matthieu Bourguignon, Senior Vice President for Network Infrastructure Europe, Nokia.

The solution includes Nokia 7750 SR-1x routers, designed for carrier-grade reliability, power efficiency, and scalability. Hetzner benefits from single-lambda 100G transceivers, enhancing density and energy efficiency while reducing infrastructure costs. Nokia’s gNMI-based telemetry provides real-time network visibility, allowing Hetzner to automate and optimize operations with minimal intervention. With a future-ready architecture supporting 400G and 800G interconnectivity, Hetzner’s network is equipped for long-term growth.

This win highlights Nokia’s ability to deliver robust, scalable, and sustainable networking solutions that power the next generation of digital services across Europe.
