Dell e VMware accelerano il deployment per i service provider

Dell EMC and VMware presentano Dell EMC NFV Ready Bundle for VMware, soluzione congiunta pensata per accelerare il deployment per i service provider.

Dell EMC NFV Ready Bundle for VMware è una soluzione integrata hardware e software che include l’infrastruttura hardware di Dell EMC cloud, supportata da Intel Xeon, e la piattaforma VMware vCloud NFV con VMware vSAN o Dell EMC ScaleIO. La soluzione è pensata per facilitare i deployment NFV dei service provider, in una fase in cui la trasformazione digitale accelera e il 5G è sempre più vicino.

I clienti avranno l’opzione di ottenere il deployment dell’offerta integrata tramite VMware Integrated OpenStack-Carrier Edition o VMware vCloud Director quale manager dell’infrastruttura virtuale.

VMware vCloud NFV è una piattaforma NFV modulare e multi-tenant ETSI-compliant che supporta le diverse scelte in ambito di infrastruttura virtuale. La piattaforma vCloud NFV unisce un’infrastruttura NFV a elevata disponibilità, carrier-grade, con le funzionalità di gestione delle operazioni e di assicurazione dei servizi di tipo day 2.

Service providers around the globe believe NFV will deliver benefits in automation, service agility for new revenues, operational efficiency, and capex savings. Many carriers are now moving from NFV proof-of-concepts and lab evaluations into field trials and commercial deployments. This trend will only accelerate with new NFV offerings such as the one introduced by Dell EMC and VMware. Operators will want to examine the new pre-validated Dell EMC and VMware integrated bundle, since it can help reduce deployment and operational concerns as well as the risk for NFV, which will help accelerate new service delivery and shorten time to revenue.

We’re working with VMware to help Communications Services Providers manage the realities of Digital Transformation and the rapidly escalating service demands of their customers. Together, we’re focused on helping our mutual customers speed up new service delivery and revenue options while reducing cost and operational overhead.

Shekar Ayyar, executive vice president and general manager, Telco Group, VMware
VMware and Dell EMC continue to drive synergies for our strong global base of mutual customers. For communications service providers, we’re teaming to deliver integrated NFV hardware and software solutions, with an ecosystem of pre-certified virtual network functions. VMware and Dell EMC together are providing CSPs with the fastest path to OpenStack-ready production NFV solutions to support 5G roll out, accelerate new service delivery and improve overall economics and operations.

Hassan Ahmed, Chairman and CEO, Affirmed Networks
Through more than 60 commercial CSP deployments to date globally, we see that NFV is rapidly becoming the mainstream way of deploying mission critical operator networks. The combined effort of Dell EMC, VMware and their partners to deliver pre-integrated solutions greatly simplifies network transformation and accelerates the pace of modernization and profitability for operators.

Lynn Comp, General Manager, Network Cloud Industry Enabling, Network Platforms Group, Intel
Integrated solutions such as the Dell EMC NFV Ready Bundle for VMware are designed to make it easier for service providers to reduce NFV deployment times and realize the benefits of NFV sooner. Dell EMC and VMware are members of our Intel Network Builders community, making them key partners in our network transformation journey. We look forward to the inclusion of next generation Intel Xeon processors for this solution and further collaboration with Dell EMC and VMware on NFV in the near future.
