The Dell Technologies 5G Core reference architecture designed with Oracle Communications and VMware is intended to help communications service providers (CSPs) to quickly deploy 5G services. This reference architecture features a 5G Core platform, a container management and orchestration platform, and telecommunications-grade infrastructure in a fully validated solution design.
The reference architecture provides:
- A solution that was developed by Dell Technologies, Oracle Communications, and VMware to help CSPs accelerate 5G Core network deployments while reducing the costs and risks associated with network transformation efforts.
- A trusted and validated industry-leading foundation that gives CSPs the flexibility and reliability that they require to move forward with confidence.
- An approach to delivering leading-edge telecommunications (telco) technology on a proven platform for a true competitive advantage.
The solution includes the following components:
- VMware Telco Cloud Automation, providing consistent multicloud operations from infrastructure to services.
- Oracle Communications 5G Core network software, a cloud-native 5G technology from the network through Business/Operation Support Systems (B/OSS) applications. Oracle 5G Core uses converged policy and charging to capitalize on network slicing and to support new business models.
- Dell PowerEdge R640, R650, and R750 servers, providing high availability (HA) in mobile core and harsher edge environments with customizable hardware acceleration options.
- Dell PowerSwitch S3048-ON and S5232F-ON networking switches, optimized for high-performance data center environments.
