Mobile World Congress — NVIDIA and Red
Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today
announced they are expanding their alliance to deliver
high-performance, software-defined 5G wireless infrastructure,
running on Red Hat OpenShift, to the telecom industry.
The collaboration, unveiled by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen
Huang during his keynote at MWC Los Angeles, can help telcos
transition to 5G networks capable of running a range of
software-defined edge workloads. Work will initially focus on 5G
radio access networks (RAN), aimed at making AI-enabled
applications more accessible at the telco edge.
Red Hat and NVIDIA are building on their announcement earlier
this year that they are accelerating adoption of Kubernetes in
enterprise data centers. Their expanding collaboration lets
customers use the NVIDIA EGX platform and Red Hat OpenShift to more
easily deploy NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate AI, data science and
machine learning at the edge.
The critical element enabling 5G providers to move to
cloud-native infrastructure is NVIDIA Aerial. This software
developer kit, also announced today, allows providers to build and
deliver high-performance, software-defined 5G wireless RAN by
delivering two essential advancements. They are a low-latency data
path directly from Mellanox network interface cards to GPU memory,
and a 5G physical layer signal-processing engine that keeps all
data within the GPU’s high-performance memory.
“The industry is ramping 5G and the ‘smart everything’
revolution is beginning. Billions of sensors and devices will be
sprinkled all over the world enabling new applications and
services,” said Huang. “We’re working with Red Hat to build a
cloud-native, massively scalable, high-performance GPU computing
infrastructure for this new 5G world. Powered by the NVIDIA EGX
Edge Supercomputing Platform, a new wave of applications will
emerge, just as with the smartphone revolution.”
Red Hat OpenShift provides enterprise-grade, production-ready
Kubernetes to manage and automate the Aerial 5G RAN, container
network functions and other new edge services. This helps telcos
deploy and manage modernized infrastructure at scale.
“The next generation of mobile networks won’t be defined by
inflexible, proprietary solutions — it will be founded in open
cloud-native technologies,” said Jim Whitehurst, president and CEO
of Red Hat. “As a leader in building open, innovative
telecommunications infrastructure, we see a tremendous advantage to
running standardized software at the telco edge, helping to enable
a range of new workloads via dynamically scalable services.”
By running 5G RAN on a cloud-native platform, telcos can make
full use of their network investments and bring new services, such
as AI, AR, VR and gaming, to the market widely.
