Arrcus is spotlighting its work with
VMware at Mobile World Congress 2023. The partners deliver a truly
modern telco cloud by enabling communication services providers (CSPs)
to create next-generation 5G services with agility.
The Arrcus and VMware solution combines the Arrcus Connected Edge (ACE)
platform with VMware Telco Cloud Platform architecture, providing CSPs
with end-to-end slicing for 5G, from radio access network (RAN) to
multi-access edge computing (MEC) to core networks. This capability,
which leverages Arrcus' advanced traffic engineering technology, lets
CSPs divide their networks into smaller, more manageable segments, which
can be easily controlled and monitored. Now CSPs can set different
policies and service level agreements (SLAs) for unique customers and
applications on various slices of their networks, greatly expanding
their ability to introduce new and innovative services. CSPs and their
customers will also benefit from expedited service delivery and improved
network scalability.
Network automation is another key CSP benefit of the joint solution. And
CSPs can create instances across RAN, 5G core, (MEC)/edge and transport
networks. The Arrcus-VMware solution also delivers a service assurance
platform for transport network, 5G core and RAN telemetry, so CSPs
receive metadata on key network parameters.
"CSPs need truly modern infrastructure to gain the greatest value from
their 5G investments," said Arrcus CEO and Chairman Shekar Ayyar.
"Arrcus' ACE platform and our partnership with VMware provide CSPs with
an agile network overlay to automate network operations, expedite the
delivery of new services on and monetize their 5G infrastructure."
"VMware brought software-defined networking to service providers," said
Lakshmi Mandyam, vice president of product management and partner
ecosystem, service provider and edge, VMware. "VMware's Telco Cloud
Platform, in concert with innovator Arrcus, is transforming 5G networks
with virtualization and SDN, distributed computing, cloud technology,
automation and agility."
