VMware Expands Telco Network Intelligence and Management Offering To Deliver 5G Automated Assurance
October 22 2019 - 8:00AM
Mobile World Congress 2019 – VMware, Inc.
(NYSE: VMW) today unveiled plans that will allow communication
service providers (CSPs) to have a holistic view of the network
from core to the edge to the radio access network (RAN) in its
VMware Smart Assurance solution. A solution preview, which
highlighted Cellwize automation and orchestration technology with
VMware Smart Assurance, was on display in the VMware booth (Hall
South, Stand 1714) today at Mobile World Congress Los Angeles.
“As CSPs prepare for the rollout of modern networks, the ability
to have complete visibility across the network – from RAN to the
core and edge networks – as well as provide continuous monitoring
and automated management, is increasingly imperative,” said Shekar
Ayyar, executive vice president and general manager, Telco and Edge
Cloud, VMware. “Network intelligence and management have been areas
of focus for VMware, and we doubled down on that commitment with
the recent acquisition of Uhana. Our discussions around
incorporating Cellwize’s technology into VMware Smart Assurance
have the potential to further extend these capabilities for our
customers.”
VMware Smart Assurance provides CSPs the operational
intelligence they need to proactively manage their physical and
virtual networks as one. The solution enables automated root cause
analysis, impact correlation, analytics, and closed-loop actions to
help CSPs maximize quality of service and uptime across their
entire multi-vendor environment.
Cellwize is a pioneer of RAN automation solutions that utilize
machine learning to deliver an orchestrated zero-touch deployment,
configuration, optimization and healing of mobile networks across a
multitude of vendor and wireless technologies. VMware plans to
build on Smart Assurance’s existing monitoring and network
management capabilities and will enter into discussions with
Cellwize to bring the technologies together to enable new
capabilities.
“At Cellwize, we focus on the next phase of automation and
incorporate machine learning, making the self-driving network more
intelligent, maximizing cost efficiencies and improving subscriber
experience,” said Ofir Zemer, CEO of Cellwize. “We look forward to
continuing collaboration with VMware to extend its RAN intelligence
and automation capabilities.”
