Dell and Nokia co-engineer AI-ready telco infrastructure blocks

Dell Technologies is announcing an expanded co-engineering collaboration with Nokia to customize Dell Telecom Infrastructure Blocks for Red Hat to support Nokia’s Autonomous Networks and Core Enterprise Solutions.

• Co-engineering announcement: Dell and Nokia are customizing DTIB for Red Hat as a pre-validated, AI-ready, one-rack cloud foundation optimized for Nokia’s Autonomous Networks and Core Enterprise workloads, with validation performed in Dell’s OTEL lab; the solution is being positioned for deployment in data centers and edge sites and will be showcased at MWC 2026.
• Implementation and validation details: The solution delivers factory-integrated deployment (pre-integrated cloud stack), supports Day 0 through Day 2 lifecycle management, is optimized for AI/ML workloads on Red Hat OpenShift, and undergoes continuous integration testing and automated validation in Dell’s OTEL environment to reduce integration risk.
