“In talking with our customers about their digital business
initiatives, it comes up time and time again how important it is to
support their applications at the edge, where latency matters and
enabling performance, and geographical and security compliance is
critical,” said Shaun Andrews, Lumen Chief Marketing Officer. “We
believe customers can benefit tremendously from the combination of
Lumen’s edge compute, network and IT services and VMware’s software
to bring technology solutions closer, within milliseconds, of the
digital interaction. Together we’re helping businesses acquire,
analyze and act upon their enterprise data to enable amazing
outcomes across a range of industries and transformed business
models.”

recently announced VMware SASE Platform, Lumen would have the
ability to integrate VMware SD-WAN, VMware Workspace ONE and VMware
Carbon Black to deliver a “Work from Anywhere” solution on their
global edge infrastructure to create thin-branch solutions for
businesses of all sizes across a variety of industries.
Lumen will also be able to develop edge computing services for
enterprises to develop new digital services using VMware Tanzu so
applications can run consistently from the data center to the cloud
to the edge, leveraging the Lumen network. The reach of Lumen’s
distributed edge computing sites will also improve application
performance with quicker access to multi-cloud environments.
“The combined capabilities of Lumen and VMware will empower
organizations to take on the next phase of digital business,” said
Rajiv Ramaswami, chief operating officer, products and cloud
services, VMware. “We are helping customers take advantage of
holistic solutions that support the people, processes, apps, and
data that power business.”
