Communications Service Providers Modernize Networks Via Broadcom, Partner Ecosystem Collaboration
Broadcom News, Tuesday, February 27th, 2024
At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 VMware highlighted Communications Service Providers (CSPs) deploying VMware Telco Cloud and VMware Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) solutions as well as co-innovations with its partner ecosystem to help global CSPs to modernize their networks and create monetizable services quickly.
Through advancements that enable network programmability, optimize network performance, and transform Radio Access Networks (RAN) and the telco core, VMware is enabling CSPs to build a software-defined edge network.
VMware defines the software-defined edge as distributed digital infrastructure for running workloads across a number of locations, close to endpoints that are producing or consuming data. It extends to where the users and devices are - in the office, on the road, in a cell site or on the factory floor. VMware addresses the three layers of the software-defined edge: the top edge compute layer which hosts the applications and workloads; the intelligent overlay where SD-WAN and security services run; and the underlay network layer, which runs the software for network connectivity across fixed and 5G networks to provide orchestration and network programmability.
