AI needs a better network

Artificial Intelligence is defining the future - adoption has exceeded all expectations and AI workloads are set to increase dramatically over the next five years. But Artificial Intelligence is only as good as the real-life connectivity it depends upon. Is your network ready?

Are you ready for AI?

It's time to rethink, rebuild and take control. The AI surge means enterprises need a more powerful network underlay, with higher bandwidth, greater scalability and uncompromising security. Not to mention the lowest possible latency. The global network connectivity ecosystem is evolving like never before, and emerging AI demands bring new challenges. In North America and Europe alone, data center capacity is projected to double over the next three years. And according to analysts, it’s not just a volume game, the value of the network traffic itself will also increase dramatically. With the stakes never higher, one thing is certain - the promise of an AI future is not possible without a reliable Internet backbone provider.

We've been preparing for AI since 1993

The Internet is critical for delivering AI workloads to end users, and it all starts with the Internet backbone. As one of the original Internet pioneers, and by maintaing a leading role in Internet evolution for more than 30 years, Arelion has always stayed ahead of emerging connectivity needs.

For enterprises and businesses everywhere, scalable, trusted and reliable Internet connectivity is business-critical. With Arelion's performance-optimized infrastructure, connectivity has never been easier. We leverage multiple services on a single port for maximum value and greater operational efficiency.

Whether you need a direct connection to your cloud providers, fast and direct access to the Internet, or help building a secure core network, we can help you realise the full potential of AI.

Artificial Intelligence needs real connectivity

Key customer use cases for future-proof networks.
Use case
High-performing datacenter connectivity

As AI networks grow more complex and hungrier, customers demand real-time connectivity experiences. Essential attributes like low latency, massive capacity, and high speed are non-negotiable. Only top-ranked tier-1 carriers, with their 1-hop network structures, have the capability to meet these demands.

Use case
Sustainable power supply

The expansion of data centers and AI adoption hinges on a reliable  power supply. Arelion's network locations in the Nordics are designed with energy efficiency in mind, ensuring sustainable operations. We are where you are!

Use case
Cloud connectivity

Secure, performance assured, with dedicated bandwidth - we ensure the best interactive end-user experience with remote cloud-based services. Whether connecting back to private or public clouds, multi-clouds or hybrid solutions, it all is our specialty.

Use case
High-capacity network connections for global Enterprises

Traditional WANs fall short in both sufficiency and cost-efficiency for enterprises. With leading carriers already three years into 400GE implementation and their backbone networks handling peak traffic of hundreds of Tb/s, Ethernet services can scale to meet AI's substantial bandwidth demands.

Use case
Smart factories

In smart factories, AI-powered industrial automation applications can leverage wavelength networks to enhance production efficiency and quality control. These applications often require real-time data processing and low-latency communication to function effectively.

Use case
Cyber security support

Decision-makers recognize the potential of AI in mitigating DDoS attacks through real-time detection and response.  Although currently there is little confidence in a 100% AI solution, aggressive use of AI and automation in attack vectors necessitates a response in kind.
