MADRID, SPAIN, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OpenNebula Systems, the leading provider of Sovereign Cloud and AI Factory management software, today announced a collaboration with Nokia to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty by supporting large-scale AI infrastructures. As European companies, both organizations share a common vision of open, interoperable technologies that enable sovereign AI deployments across the continent.
The collaboration combines OpenNebula’s vendor-neutral AI infrastructure management platform with Nokia’s data center networking portfolio. As a first step, the companies will work on integrating Nokia’s data center networking solutions with OpenNebula’s management platform to support new AI Factory deployments through seamless orchestration of compute, GPU, networking, and storage resources.
Beyond the initial integration, OpenNebula Systems and Nokia intend to collaborate on technical validation, reference architectures, demonstrations, and joint engagement around European sovereign AI infrastructure initiatives, including EuroHPC AI Factories, AI Gigafactories, Neoclouds, HPC environments, and private clouds for AI.
“Organizations building Sovereign AI Factories need the flexibility to integrate the technologies that best meet their requirements without vendor lock-in,” said Constantino Vázquez, Head of Systems Engineering at OpenNebula Systems. “Our collaboration with Nokia brings together complementary expertise in AI infrastructure management and data center networking to help customers deploy high-performance AI environments while preserving openness, flexibility, and customer choice.”
“AI in Europe requires data center infrastructure that operators can trust, control, and scale with confidence. By combining Nokia’s advanced networking capabilities with OpenNebula’s flexible, vendor-neutral software, European AI data centers gain an open and independent foundation designed to support secure, high-performance AI workloads. Together, we are advancing connectivity and helping build a stronger European digital ecosystem,” added Matthieu Bourguignon, Vice-President Network Infrastructure Europe at Nokia.
The collaboration marks an important step toward strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty by advancing an open ecosystem for trusted AI infrastructures.
