Dell Technologies and VMware Announce Reference Architectures for Telco

Together, Dell Technologies and VMware can help you build and operate cloud-native, disaggregated networks while monetizing your investments through the creation and sale of new enterprise services.

One major way technology can drive human progress is through communication. Communication Service Providers (CSPs) should be empowered to use open and modern technologies that will not only drive revenue, but also increase innovation. And within the Dell Technologies Telecom Systems Business, we are enabling just that.

Recently, at Dell Technologies World 2021, we announced the launch of the Dell Technologies Reference Architecture for VMware Telco Cloud Platform 5G Edition 2.0 and the Dell Technologies Reference Architecture for VMware Telco Cloud Platform RAN 1.0 (documentation to be released at a later date). These offerings are a great way to kick off any Telecom transformation journey and modernize your cloud. Our reference architectures enable you to focus on cloud-native technologies with agility and multi-layer automation. As Dell Technologies and VMware, we provide best-in-breed compute, networking and storage solutions for your 5G cloud-native network. Our solution brief also provides rich insight into these offers and why our partnership is ahead of its time. We’re bringing you the platform and ecosystem to unlock significant value while mitigating risk.

This launch showcases our solutions that extend from virtual, to cloud-ready, to cloud-native. For you, this means being able to roll out new services and deploy cloud-native and virtual network functions throughout your 5G networks without disruption. This is all made possible through the power of open APIs and a consistent multi-cloud platform that is software-defined, distributed, intelligent, and automated on Telecom-optimized, industry-standard hardware. Together, Dell Technologies and VMware can help you build and operate cloud-native, disaggregated networks while monetizing your investments through the creation and sale of new enterprise services.
