Tech Mahindra and VMware Collaborate to Drive Telco Network and Service Transformation
February 12 2018 - 8:00AM
Tech Mahindra, a leading provider of digital
transformation, consulting and business reengineering services and
solutions and VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW), today announced a new
collaboration to deliver solutions that accelerate network
transformation for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). Through
this expanded relationship, the companies will combine VMware’s
production-proven, 5G and OpenStack-ready network functions
virtualization (NFV) platform with Tech Mahindra’s Network Services
to enable global CSPs to accelerate new service delivery, open new
opportunities and improve IT and business economics.
CSPs need to deliver new and differentiated
services faster in an on-demand model, which means turning on
services when and where subscribers want them, keeping capital
spend to a minimum. Doing so will enable telcos to rethink new
business models and services. Through unique solutions based on a
software-defined and distributed micro datacenter architecture,
Tech Mahindra and VMware will help CSPs accelerate time to market,
monetize new innovative services, streamline operations and reduce
network infrastructure costs in the core, at the edge, and on the
customer premise. With 4G and LTE in full swing and with the
imminent arrival of 5G, Tech Mahindra’s telco transformation
expertise coupled with VMware’s innovative NFV solutions portfolio
can help CSPs with their digital transformation.
As part of the partnership, Tech Mahindra has onboarded VMware
vCloud NFV into Tech Mahindra’s Virtual Network Function (VNF)
Xchange program. VNF-Xchange is a vendor-neutral platform designed
to accelerate the communications industry’s adoption of NFV and
software-defined networks (SDN), providing a platform to integrate
VNFs, the components of the NFV reference architecture, and the
end-to-end solutions, use cases and network services that they
enable.
“This strategic partnership brings together Tech
Mahindra’s Digital Transformation expertise and VMware’s innovative
cloud computing and network virtualization portfolio to address
emerging technology areas such as 5G, Internet of Things, rich
multimedia and vCPE quicker than ever,” said Manish
Vyas, President Communications Business and Chief
Executive, Network Services. “By adopting a
software-defined infrastructure that delivers improved economics
and agility, Tech Mahindra and VMware will help our mutual Telecom
customers grow greater, change faster, and run better."
“VMware is a proven, strategic software partner
to global CSPs enabling them to manage, transform, and grow their
businesses,” said Shekar Ayyar, executive vice
president and general manager, Telco Group, VMware. “By building on
our robust and agile Network Functions Virtualization
infrastructure, VMware and Tech Mahindra will equip service
providers to deliver innovative and secure hybrid cloud and IoT
solutions, creating new revenue streams while, driving down costs,
and improving overall customer satisfaction.”
