The 5G Core solution introduces innovative and disruptive networking paradigms to mobile networks. Its validated design brings tested and proven configurations that are designed to dynamically fit the needs of CSPs. By offering flexible design options and guidance on choosing the right partners and components, this solution can shorten deployment timelines, reducing (or, in some cases, eliminating) the time it takes to design, test, and integrate components from multiple partners.
The 5G future will not be built by a single vendor. It calls for a collaboration in innovation from the industry leaders in cloud, telco, containers, and other technologies. Dell Technologies, Oracle Communications, and VMware are taking a step forward toward that future with this design for a fully containerized, cloud-native 5G solution. Our goal is to provide the CSPs of today with a fully validated, accelerated path to the 5G services of tomorrow.
The Dell 5G Core validated design combines industry-leading technology from Oracle Communications, VMware, and Dell to offer customers the following benefits:
