Stelia AI today announced a collaboration with Nokia to advance the deployment of high performance, high trust AI at enterprise scale.
As enterprises move beyond prototypes, applying AI to real-world scenarios at production scale creates new complexities. Inferencing and agentic systems that can act autonomously require robust governance, compliance, auditability, and secure connectivity capable of sustaining continuous performance under pressure.
By integrating Nokia’s leading open-standards-based networking technology into Stelia’s AI ecosystem, the collaboration enables reliable performance across distributed systems. This combination ensures information flows seamlessly and securely across enterprise environments, from operational sites to cloud platforms, delivering consistent AI results wherever deployed.
“The industry needs to completely rethink how AI is architected as we move to outcome-driven engineering and production-grade resilience,” said Dave Hughes, CTO at Stelia. “Success is no longer defined by the size of a GPU cluster in the middle of nowhere. It is defined by the ability to safely and effectively orchestrate a workload through all stages of the AI lifecycle, and connect systems, people, and data across entire organisations — enabling continuous, high-throughput, low-latency data movement across distributed infrastructure.”
“As enterprises deploy AI across increasingly distributed environments, the network becomes a critical foundation for performance, security and reliability,” said Paul Alexander, Vice President and Country Manager at Nokia. “Our collaboration with Stelia integrates Nokia’s open, high-performance networking technology with Stelia’s enterprise AI platform, helping organisations support demanding AI workloads while maintaining the trust, governance and connectivity required for real-world operations.”
The collaboration with Nokia, alongside Stelia’s wider ecosystem of partners, is redefining trusted, enterprise-wide AI capability. This underpins critical services across industries including space, media and entertainment, retail, and finance, accelerating decision-making, reducing operational risk, and unlocking measurable returns from production-grade AI deployments.
