Dell and Google have detailed new offers for mobile operators looking to add new 5G services, further evidence of the growing convergence between the technology and telecommunications arenas. Google has introduced Google Distributed Cloud, a portfolio of hardware and software services that bring Google's infrastructure to the edge of the network or to the local data center. The most revolutionary 5G applications, such as Industry Forties, VR, and certain AI workloads that rely on real-time data, will require ultra-low latency that is simply impossible to achieve using a traditional cloud fabric and data center. centralized.
5G management
Edge computing lets data be processed as close to the point of collection as possible, and operators are reordering their networks around a centralized core layer accordingly. Many vendors now have multiple data centers spread across their space, while even base stations can be used as edge sites. Google Distributed Cloud lets operators run core 5G and RAN functions at their edge sites, such as enterprise applications and Google services, to support latency-sensitive applications that open up new revenue streams and maximize 5G infrastructure investments. It is also possible to run Google Distributed Cloud at one of Google's edge locations around the world, at a user edge location, or in a user data center. Dell Technologies is also very interested in the telecommunications industry and has introduced a suite of services that automate the deployment and management of cloud-native infrastructure, essential for maximizing 5G opportunities. In particular, he says that moving to the edge is one reason operators are embracing OpenRAN, a vendor-agnostic approach to radio technology that lets operators mix and match products. However, he finds the job of running such a complex network that understands multiple sites, distributors and geographies is a huge challenge. Dell's new Bare Metal Orchestrator manages hundreds of thousands of servers worldwide, saving days and weeks of setup and provisioning. For a merchant looking to bring a new service to market as quickly as possible and react to changing market trends, this takes time. Meanwhile, the company is also expanding its partner ecosystem with new services and reference architectures with Mavenir and Wind River the latest to join us. "As server technology abounds in increasingly open telecommunications networks, the industry sees a growing and immediate need for remote management of the lifecycle of a highly distributed computing fabric," said Dennis Hoffman, Dell Managing Director Technologies Telecom Systems Business. “Bare Metal Orchestrator offers communications service providers a simpler way to build and run an open network infrastructure while saving cost and time, leaving them to focus on delivering new and distinguished services to their service customers.
