Dell Technologies introduced new telecommunications solutions and services to bolster the open telecom ecosystem and help communications service providers (CSPs) affordably ramp their transformation to open, cloud-native networks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telecommunications industry\u2019s growing open ecosystem gives CSPs more choice in their technologies and partners as they modernize to cloud-native networks. CSPs need the various technologies of this open ecosystem to work together seamlessly to offer differentiated edge services and reduce costs. Dell aims to remove complexity and speed modern network deployments with its Dell Telecom Cloud Foundation, Dell Open RAN Accelerator and new telecom solutions and lab capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommunications service providers are changing how they build and deploy open networks, establishing the foundation on which they can develop and deliver innovative services to capture the edge opportunity,\u201d said Dennis Hoffman, senior vice president and general manager, Dell Technologies Telecom Systems Business. \u201cOur expanded telecom solutions portfolio brings the open ecosystem together for network operators, giving them the simplicity and reliability they need to modernize their networks and monetize new services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCSPs are increasingly evaluating Virtual & Open RAN technologies that offer improved performance and efficiency. With today\u2019s announcement, we are putting Dell at the center of the Open RAN ecosystem,\u201d said Sam Saba, head of telecom, Asia Pacific & Japan, Dell Technologies. \u201cMoreover, our new telecom solutions and lab capabilities are designed to enable CSPs to modernize their networks, monetize new services, and fulfil their cloud-native ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Telecom Multi-Cloud Foundation speeds network modernization, business growth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dell Telecom Multi-Cloud Foundation <\/strong>is a turnkey, end-to-end, modern network infrastructure solution that helps CSPs build and deploy open, cloud-native networks faster with lower cost and complexity. The Telecom Multi-Cloud Foundation includes Dell hardware, Dell Bare Metal Orchestrator management software<\/a> and the CSPs\u2019 choice of integrated telecom cloud software platforms, including Red Hat, VMware and Wind River. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell is adding new Dell Bare Metal Orchestrator Modules<\/strong> to its software, giving CSPs the ability to deploy and lifecycle manage the entire cloud foundation stack. Once implemented, CSPs will have a scalable cloud foundation spanning core, edge and RAN for their open hardware and software environment with the flexibility to design and deploy open network functions and differentiated edge services. ACG Research<\/a> estimates an up to 39% OpEx savings for CSPs deploying the Telecom Multi-Cloud Foundation in their networks. ACG Research found CSPs also save time on testing and certification, manual processes, server provisioning, software upgrades and cloud stack integration and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell and Marvell collaborate on new hardware to accelerate Open RAN <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the introduction of virtualized and Open RAN architectures, 5G networks are undergoing a transformation that brings cloud scalability to the RAN. Existing virtualized and Open RAN alternatives have previously lacked the performance of established networks, hindering the ability for CSPs to implement cloud-native 5G. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed in collaboration with Marvell, the Dell Open RAN Accelerator Card<\/strong> is a new inline 5G Layer 1 processing card for vRAN and Open RAN solutions.Designed for Dell PowerEdge and other x86-based servers, the PCIe accelerator card brings the same Marvell OCTEON\u00ae<\/sup> Fusion technology and performance of today\u2019s leading 5G radio networks to the Open RAN ecosystem. CSPs can have better performing systems that lower cost and power consumption, allowing them to affordably scale high performing, modern radio access networks with an open architecture approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarvell is delighted to partner with Dell Technologies to enable an open, virtualized 5G RAN architecture that delivers advanced features and performance built on our proven OCTEON\u00ae<\/sup> Fusion platform,\u201d said Raj Singh, executive vice president, Processors Business Unit at Marvell. \u201cThe new Dell Open RAN Accelerator Card is an innovative no-compromise, cloud-native, in-line, Open RAN Layer 1 acceleration solution that addresses the shortcomings of existing vRAN alternatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re pleased to see Dell Technologies and Marvell come together to innovate and create technologies that will enhance Open RAN platform capability and vendor diversity for operators,\u201d said Andy Dunkin, Open RAN RF and digital platform development manager at Vodafone. \u201cThe promise of virtualized Open RAN platforms will be enhanced with the Dell Open Ran Accelerator Card that should offer network operators like Vodafone a less costly and more efficient path to Open RAN.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell and ecosystem partners help speed deployment of edge and core solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell continues to grow its open partner ecosystem with new telecom solutions for edge and core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
