Mobile World Congress 2023—Today, VMware, Inc. (NYSE:
VMW) announced innovations and expanded partnerships across its
service provider and edge product portfolios to meet the evolving
needs of Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and
enterprises.
“It’s a time of change for service providers as they modernize
their networks and monetize their services,” said Sanjay Uppal,
senior vice president and general manager, Service Provider and
Edge, VMware. “Meanwhile, enterprises are seeking more secure,
reliable, and better delivery of apps, data, and services to the
edge for branch offices, factory floors, clinics and retail stores.
At Mobile World Congress 2023, we’re announcing innovations to help
our customers with their transformation efforts by delivering
multi-cloud solutions for service providers and enhanced networking
and security capabilities to support the needs at the edge.”
Enabling CSPs to Modernize their Networks to Leverage the
Power of 5G
VMware today showcased deployment of the VMware Telco Cloud
platform by CSPs as well as product advancements and an expanding
partner ecosystem. Highlights include:
- VMware introduced innovations and enhanced offerings to help
CSPs more quickly modernize their networks. VMware unveiled its
vision for the Service Management and Orchestration (SMO)
framework, which follows the O-RAN alliance’s approach of
simplifying, optimizing and automating the RAN and its
applications; and a new technical preview that will allow CSPs to
complement VMware ESXi by running disaggregated and virtualized RAN
functions directly on a bare metal server with VMware Tanzu.
- Additionally, VMware is providing next-generation networking
within VMware Telco Cloud Platform with VMware NSX delivering
telco-grade intelligent networking and lateral security
capabilities. With recent advances, including the DPU-based
acceleration announced last August, VMware offers accelerated
networking and security performance for VNFs and CNFs, while
enhancing network observability and increasing the host resources
available to applications. VMware announced the availability of
DPU-based acceleration of lateral security features like
distributed firewall and distributed intrusion detection and
prevention along with energy efficiency use cases for 4G/5G core
load balancing needs.
Enhanced Mobility, Connectivity and Choice for
Enterprises
Today, VMware also announced it is delivering new and enhanced
edge connectivity and intelligent wireless capabilities to its
SD-WAN and SASE customers. Highlights include:
- VMware is now inviting select customers and partners to
evaluate the VMware SD-WAN Client across remote user and edge
device use cases. VMware SD-WAN Client is expected to be available
in VMware’s Q1 FY24.
- Real world tests have shown VMware SD-WAN can provide over more
than 40% improvement in QoE for voice and video applications when
using satellite and cellular1. In addition to delivering higher
application quality, the platform enables higher network
utilization through adaptive thresholds designed from real-world
learnings from more than 100,000 cellular and satellite connections
in use today by VMware customers.
- VMware introduced a VMware Certified Professional education
program and certificate for VMware SD-WAN and SASE to help partners
and customers identify professionals with the skills and expertise
necessary to effectively deploy and manage VMware SD-WAN
solutions.
