MobiledgeX, an edge computing company that helps telco operators build their
own edge clouds, announced its support of Anthos as an additional
infrastructure choice for operators. By running MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud on
Anthos, MobiledgeX gives telco operators the freedom to choose how they want to
control their multi-vendor telco edge cloud infrastructure, and manage
applications with enhanced data sovereignty and application security.
MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud on Anthos provides the same UI experience for operator
infrastructure staff already using VMware or OpenStack in their existing
infrastructure, and extends to cloudlets in the public cloud. It provides a
policy-based application deployment approach that includes auto-scale and
auto-provision features, removes dependency on proprietary security and key
management, and also provides trust-based policies that ensure data
sovereignty. MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud on Anthos also provides robust application
and infrastructure monitoring, notification, and metrics using a single
management pane.
"MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud gives telco operators the ability to exercise
direct control of data on their own networks, and the freedom to choose cloud
infrastructure from both private and public cloud providers," says Sunay
Tripathi, CTO and EVP of Product and Engineering for MobiledgeX. "Our
partnership with Google gives our telco partners even more flexibility with how
they manage their network edge infrastructure."
"Anthos enables customers to deploy services and applications across
multiple environments, including in the cloud, on-premises, and to the network
edge," said Tanuj Raja, Global Head, Strategic Partnerships at Google
Cloud. "We're excited to work with MobiledgeX to help operators deploy
cloud-native applications to the network edge, efficiently and securely."
"The telco edge cloud is here, and MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud software gives
operators the freedom to build and manage their own edge clouds and work with
hyperscalers on their own terms," says Dr. Alex Choi, Senior Vice
President, Strategy & Technology Innovation at Deutsche Telekom.
"MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud running on Anthos gives operators even more options
to manage their network edge infrastructure as they choose."
This
beta program underscores the ongoing work that MobiledgeX has done with Google
Cloud and the Anthos platform, which began when MobiledgeX was named as a horizontal solution provider for
Anthos for Telecom in December 2020. If you're a telco operator
interested in participating in the MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud Beta Program on
Anthos, please contact Ulf Andersson, MobiledgeX Senior Vice President of
Global Business Development and Sales (ulf.andersson@mobiledgex.com).
