VMware, Samsung partner to accelerate CSPs transformation to 5G

New Delhi: US-based VMware said that it is collaborating with Korea’s gear maker Samsung. This collaboration will help Samsung with Communication Service Providers (CSPs) meet the requirements of 5G networks and accelerate the roll-out of 5G.

It also includes optimising Samsung’s portfolio of telco offerings from Core to Edge to RAN for both containerized network functions (CNFs) and virtualized network functions (VNFs) with VMware Telco Cloud Platform.

This collaboration will accelerate the innovation cycle through better network design end-to-end, and support the agility required for 5G networks. VMware said with its VMware Telco Cloud Platform, CSPs can deploy a cloud native, software-defined 5G network that will accelerate the delivery of services and applications across distributed telco clouds with operational consistency, integrated lifecycle management and multi-layer automation while maintaining carrier-grade performance, scalability and reliability.
