VMware Speeds Service Providers' Move to Multi-CloudTo bring innovative apps and services to customers more quickly, service providers are betting heavily on the cloud. And as apps and data continue to distribute across clouds and locations, service providers require flexibility to deploy and consistently manage workloads anywhere. That is why VMware (NYSE: VMW) is today unveiling enhancements to its Telco Cloud Platform designed to help service providers speed their multi-cloud transformation. "With network modernization efforts well underway, service providers are now focused on how to monetize 5G services. And how to do it fast. Thanks to cloud-native architectures, time to market for launching new services has moved from months and years to days and weeks," said Sanjay Uppal, senior vice president and general manager, Service Provider and Edge, VMware. "Over 150 CSPs around the world rely on VMware Telco Cloud Platform to accelerate time to revenue while providing automation and consistent operations across networks for 4G, 5G and beyond. The VMware Telco Cloud Platform provides multi-cloud capabilities from the core to the edge without locking the service provider into a single cloud architecture or deployment. It thereby delivers the agility and speed our customers need for their massive 5G deployments." The enhancements to VMware Telco Cloud Platform include:
