Dell Technologies now is moving to supply a cloud-native ecosystem for connectivity service providers, especially mobile operators offering 5G.
Service providers initially will be able to deploy:
Core software solutions from Affirmed Networks.
Private network solutions from CommScope RUCKUS.
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) solutions with Intel Smart Edge.
Dell Technologies is collaborating with Mavenir to develop 5G Open RAN software with Dell EMC PowerEdge XR11 ruggedized servers.
Core software solutions from Nokia
Cloud native is among the concepts associated with network virtualization. A virtualized communications network uses cloud computing (remote computing) and software that can be abstracted from hardware, some note.
Cloud native refers less to where an application resides and more to how it is built and deployed, IBM argues, involving discrete, reusable components known as microservices that are designed to integrate into any cloud environment, often packaged in containers. All can be independently scaled, continuously improved, and quickly iterated through automation and orchestration processes.
The moves are the latest of many.
Dell Technologies, VMware and SK Telecom earlier partnered to supply edge computing for connectivity service providers. The OneBox MEC is a single-box way for enterprises to build a private 5G and edge computing platform, Dell says.
Dell earlier had struck a deal with AT&T to develop open source edge computing infrastructure.
The Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform offers real-time analytics at the edge. The Dell Technologies Manufacturing Edge Reference Architecture with PTC helps manufacturing companies derive insights from workstations, computers, mobile devices and other endpoints within the manufacturing environment.
The Apex storage as a service also is part of the portfolio of services and products supporting cloud computing in general.
