HCLSoftware and SolarWinds are expanding their partnership announced in
October 2022 to build an end-to-end 5G network observability platform
from Cloud to RAN (Radio Access Network). This joint AI-based solution
combines HCLSoftware's Augmented Network Automation (HCL ANA) platform,
HCL DRYiCE iObserve powered by SolarWinds, and other HCLSoftware telecom
products with the SolarWinds observability, monitoring, and service
management platform to provide a Cloud to RAN5G telecommunications
observability platform for mobile network operators.
In October, SolarWinds announced its intended expansion with
HCLSoftware's DRYiCE product aimed at revolutionizing IT operations for
enterprises, focused on bringing together the best-in-class advanced
AIOps, end-to-end observability, and service management platform from
both companies.
The HCL ANA Platform is HCLSoftware's next-generation network
optimization solution that enables mobile operators to manage their 5G
services globally by automating multi-vendor and multi-technology (e.g.,
4G and 5G) deployments in cloud or on-premises environments.
The HCL ANA ORAN-compliant platform automatically monitors real-time,
cross-domain data to predict, configure, and optimize hybrid networks
with AI-based self-healing techniques. One of the key use cases
addressed by the HCLSoftware and SolarWinds 5G telecom network
observability platform with a unified dashboard is the reduction of
energy consumption and costs across not only the RAN but also core
telecom network and IT infrastructure in the cloud or on-premises. This
joint solution is designed to save mobile network operators millions of
dollars a year, significantly reducing operating expenses.
The jointly created AI-based Cloud-to-RAN 5G telecom network
observability platform also supports varied AI-based applications,
including network congestion relief which improves network performance
in areas with high traffic congestion, such as city centers, to provide
fast and reliable 5G services to optimize subscribers' quality of
experience.
"We are excited to build this AI-based telecom observability platform
with SolarWinds that will provide unparalleled savings for our telecom
customers," said Kalyan Kumar, Chief Product Officer, HCLSoftware.
"This joint solution provides deep integration between HCL iObserve
(powered by SolarWinds Observability) and HCL ANA, and allows
telecommunications customers to meet their observability needs across
multi-cloud and 4G and 5G environments-all through a common platform,"
said Sudhakar Ramakrishna, President and CEO, SolarWinds.
